Our tour guide was Sho and he was amazing! So friendly and took us to see so many interesting places! The variety of food was wonderful and adventurous, we tried many new things! Definitely recommend :)
Yukari was an awesome guide. We had a fantastic meal with more food than we could eat. She was able to show us the area between venues as well which really added to the experience. I could not recommend enough! Thank you Yukari 😊
Great tour! Sora was an awesome guide and there was a lot of food and drinks provided. We learned a ton about Japanese culture and the area as well. It was easy to book last minute for 5 people and it was still a small group at 8 people total including Sora. Highly recommend!
Clarke was incredible and we were absolutely stuffed with amazing food. Highly recommend!! Lots of cool facts about the area and life in Japan as well
Thank you for the wonderful evening. It was lovely, and we had a great time. We were a small group, and our requests were very well accommodated. Whenever someone didn't want or couldn't eat something, a delicious alternative was provided. We followed Sora's recommendations and were not disappointed. Thank you for the wonderful evening.
The best food tour! Our guide was amazing and we had the best time while learning so much- this is a must do activity!

Toshi was a gem. Thank you for bringing us around. we were so full!
We absolutely loved the Tokyo Shinjuku Food Tour. It was one of the highlights of our trip! From the moment we met our guide, Naoya, the atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and so much fun. This small-group experience felt personal and relaxed, and every stop was filled with delicious food, fascinating stories, and genuine local flavor. Over the course of the tour we savored an incredible variety of dishes (about 16!) across four unique eateries, each offering something different and memorable. We tried things we never would have discovered on our own and got a real taste of authentic Japanese cuisine — from sizzling izakaya bites to flavorful local favorites and cultural classics that were both surprising and satisfying. Our guide’s passion and knowledge added so much depth to the experience, blending food with fascinating insights into Shinjuku’s culture and culinary traditions.
