Tokyo: Shinjuku Food Tour - 15 Dishes at 4 Eateries

My tour guide, Shota, was very nice and friendly. The food was great, and I got to visit many beautiful spots. He is very knowledgeable about local travel places. I highly recommend this tour if you want to experience the city like a local.

We enjoyed the Food Tour and conversation with our Tour Guide Agaki Hajime who spoke perfect English. My wife enjoyed the conversation with him, it was good that only the 2 of us were booked for the Tour as we got lost. Hajime was kind enough to come locate us to start the Food Tour.

guide: Noa is very friendly and professional! food: All the food was delicious! drinks: I recommend the Imo-Shochu with hot water (for winter season).

Our guide was great and took us to places that we wouldn’t have found in Tokyo. Also good variety of food and plenty of it! Also tried some sake with our meals. Really good experience

I had an absolutely incredible time on this tour, largely thanks to Rahman, who was a super friendly, patient, and helpful guide! He took the time to answer all of my questions and taught me so many fun facts about Tokyo's food culture, including the history behind the dishes and even how to pronounce them correctly. The food choices were incredibly varied and interesting! I pretty much got to taste everything I had on my Japan bucket list! Because I was the only one booked on the tour that day, Rahman gave me a personalized experience, taking me to explore a beautiful local shrine and the famous, historic small alleys of Golden Gai. Bottom line: I highly recommend booking with Rahman. He is incredibly fun and knowledgeable about both Tokyo and Japanese food. Bonus tip: try his favorite drink recommendation if he offers it; I took his advice and absolutely loved it!

It was a great experience, my tour guide Ayaka was very knowledgeable and very easy to talk too. she gave great recommendations on how to cook certain foods, I was unable to eat pork so she found alternatives for me to eat and she gave me some great clothes shopping recommendations and even walked me back to the train station. would definitely recommend her 😊

Amazing! Made my first dinner in Japan unforgettable! It was such a joyful night and a group of strangers from 3 continents feeling welcomed by Yuki our guide, such kind and lovely person. He gave us insides of culture and stories of the whole area. The time flew by - expect varieties of different, fresh delicious food and drinks, very good quality and surprises. Thank you so much! Another addition is that Yuki get sure that you are safe and to get you special fotos. He even made sure I took the right metro.

Excellent tour that balanced cuisine and culture by offering a glimpse into Shinjuku life through its food. Our guide Ren did a great job explaining where we were, what we were eating, and how they tie together. The food was delicious at all of our stops and we definitely got our money’s worth. Overall, great tour for those who enjoy exploring culture through food.

This was the very first activity I did when me and my husband arrived in Japan, and I’m so glad I booked this tour. It was the perfect introduction to the country. Our guides, Akira and Haruki, were incredibly welcoming, kind, and knowledgeable. They were more than happy to answer all of our questions and made us feel comfortable right away. The food was excellent, and their explanations and recommendations made the experience even better. They also took us around Golden Gai and to a nearby shrine, sharing cultural insights and helpful tips along the way. It was a great way to get familiar with the area and understand more about the local atmosphere. I highly recommend this tour for your first day in Japan if you want to ease into your surroundings while enjoying amazing food and meaningful cultural context. Overall, we had a fantastic time—it felt more like going out to eat with friends than being on a guided tour.

our guide Sota was amazing, answered all of the questions in the group about culture and how to be a good tourist. He even prepared common Japanese phrases that would be good to know and showed us a lot of places to eat at. Additionally, he went out of his way to walk us through Omoide Yokocho, even though it wasn't part of his original itinerary.
