“5-Star Review: Outstanding Tokyo Walking Food Tour with Shane Shane’s small-group walking food tour in Tokyo was an absolute standout experience. We visited three incredibly authentic restaurants—the kind only locals know—sampling fresh, delicious dishes that felt far from touristy. Shane is fully bilingual (Japanese/English), super knowledgeable about Japanese culture and history, and genuinely enthusiastic. He made ordering seamless, shared fascinating stories, and kept the energy high throughout. Perfect pace, great food, real insider experience. Highly recommended—do this tour if you want authentic Tokyo eats and culture! Thank you”

“The guide Naruto was amazing. Je is very knowledgable and speaks impeccable English. Hsving lived or worked in many countries gives Naruto a deep understanding of culture. The food on the tour was terrific. The 7 or so vearieties of sashimi was extraordinary - fresh and and quite filling. Since I didn't drink the alcohol I can't comment first hand but the group seemed to enjoy the drinks. Naruto spoke knowingly about Shinjuko and took us to a narrow alley and a stret where the Yakuza reigned. I highly recommend this tour and Naruto as the guide,”
