Tokyo: Shinjuku Food Tour with 15 Dishes and 4 Local Eateries

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had an amazing time on the Shinjuku Dinner Food Tour with Elena! This ended up being so much more than just a food tour. Every stop had delicious food, but what really made the experience special was all of the history and cultural insight Elena shared along the way. She explained the stories behind the neighborhoods, local customs, and traditions in a way that made everything we were seeing and eating much more meaningful. It felt like exploring Shinjuku with a knowledgeable friend rather than just following a tour. The pace was perfect, the food was fantastic, and we left with a much deeper appreciation for Japanese culture than we expected. If you’re visiting Tokyo, I highly recommend doing this early in your trip—it gave us a better understanding of the city and helped us feel more confident exploring on our own. Thank you, Elena, for such a memorable evening. This was one of the highlights of our time in Japan! Worth every penny.

Very good lots of food arrive hungry! Han as a guide excellent , he was very knowledge and very open to questions. It was an interesting mix of seated meals and street food . Eating at “locals “ restaurants hearing history about the area and photo opportunities . He was very helpful with recommendations for restaurants and where to get the best food . one of our highlights to our holiday .

A fantastic sampler of Japanese dishes in a less touristy part of Shinjuku. I especially loved the mackerel and sushi platter, as well as the unique Okinawan specialties. Our guide, Emma, was incredibly accommodating and made the experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommended!

Han did an excellent job guiding us through the streets and taking us to delicious restaurants that we wouldve never thought of visiting ourselves. Id definitely try this tour as a way to get a feel for several cuisines within Japan.

The Shinjuku tour was amazing!! We had Lloyd as our guide, who explained every place we went to eat, including its origins and historical details. We ate really well at places that a tourist wouldn't visit without a tip. Lloyd was super helpful and kind in serving us food and drinks, chatting with us to get to know each other. I highly recommend the experience for a deeper understanding of the food and the Shinjuku neighborhood! guida: guida:

We had such a good time with Ali and Koshi! We had so much variety of food (photos of some of the food, no pic of the Kurobota katsu) with our drinks. Ali is a native English speaker and you can ask him anything. :-)

This was one of my highlights in Tokyo, Our tour guide was Lloyd, and he was excellent he made it so much fun and was so informative with different facts and stories about Tokyo, the food was delicious and we had soo much. Wqs cool getting to go to places I never would have went to on my own.

My group had a great experience with the Shinjuku food tour. Riki, our gracious host, was knowledgeable, friendly, and full of energy. After going through some tourist attractions (Golden-gai, Godzilla head, The Giant 3D cat) we were treated to authentic cuisine, and neat street food. The other people within the larger group were fun and easy going. Overall a great experience. I highly recommend.

Amazing tour with Lloyd who was really knowledgeable about the area. He kept the group together and made sure we knew where we should be at all times. We really felt looked after and we had such a great group and a fabulous time. 10 out of 10

honestly, this was my favorite part of my week long Tokyo trip. our guides were so friendly and talkative. the food was just incredible.
