We had an amazing time on our tour with Moka! It was nice to see so many sites in one day without any of the hassle. Moka was super friendly and eager to give us an amazing day! She was very knowledgeable and provided us with a lot of historical facts during our tour of Nagoya castle. Moka speaks great English and helped explain many customs of Japan. As a bonus, it was nice to get familiar with the public transportation system with someone to help :) We highly recommend doing Moka's tours!

While we were sad to have to cancel our July trip to Japan due to the pandemic, we found the process of working with Japan Awaits to be easy and efficient. I can't speak to the full experience since we weren't able to go, but filling out the form and our communication with the company was no problem. And their prompt and courteous response to our request for a refund speaks to their professionalism. We will definitely come back to ask for their help in procuring tickets to the Studio Ghibli Museum when we do finally make it to Japan! Fingers crossed for next summer.

She even extend her way as we requested to visit the Toyota Museum which was not included in the itinerary. She speaks good english and assist you all her way. Highly recommended!

I visited Nagoya in early July but due to COVID a lot of tours were not running. I reached out to Nagoya Foodie Tour and Lena was so helpful. She was able to accommodate our schedule for a private street food tour and also another custom tour of the fish market in Nagoya. The tours had to be private because of COVID which I appreciated and felt safe with while walking around the city. The street food tour had a good mix of history and cuisine mixed throughout the 2.5 hours. Some of the regular spots that the tour would visit were closed or shut early. I think the regular run tour would probably have a little more variety but I got a good sense of the cuisine of Nagoya. The sites of Nagoya were beautiful although someone what longer than I expected. I did really enjoy the option to make a wish at multiple temples and shrines. The next day Lena took us to the fish market and showed us around. We got to talk with some of the vendors and see all the different seafood that is local to Nagoya. It was very interesting and not as crowded as I would expect Tokyo’s fish market to be. After we walked around to the Endoji Shopping Street. It was very similar to the Osu area we visited the night before but as it was the morning, it was not busy and stores were still closed. My favorite part was when Lena took us to a classic coffee spot in Nagoya to experience their coffee culture. It was great to see how locals eat and socialize. I would recommend taking the tours offered with Nagoya Foodie Tour. I hope that they are able to make the fish market tour a regular thing as well in the future. Don’t miss out on this fun and unique option when visiting the city

I had a lovely time chatting about Japanese culture and learning origami. I made a cute little silver metal samurai hat, a washi paper crane, a ninja star (shiriken) and a boat. It was really interesting to hear the back stories to each piece.

Kento is most definitely the perfect guide for late night adventures around Shinjuku. Highly personable with an enquiring mind and a lot of fun , I’m sooooo glad I stumbled into one of his tours . If a traveller wants to get to know the Golden Gai area , this is most definitely your man . The meal before was wonderful and somewhere I would never have discovered by myself - and cheap as ! This is the real thing , with a brilliant guide .
