I did an online airbnb experience with the team behind ninja food tours. They taught me all about sake and the bottles that I had at home. When I do make it to Tokyo, I will definitely take a tour with Ninja Food Tours because I know that they will bring the same knowledge, warmth, and friendliness!

Tony was an exceptional guide for the day. We had planned and booked for a specific day. Tony contacted us a couple of days before and told us the weather was not going to be great but was willing to take us a day earlier when the weather and viewing would be much better. I can't say I have ever had that happen! He picked us up in a very comfortable vehicle which made the day's travel very easy. The itinerary he planned gave us views of the mountain from pretty much all sides and from places not nearly as many people go to. His insight about the area and the history was tremendous and added greatly to the day. We really could not have asked for anything more in a tour like this and I would not hesitate to recommend him fully to anyone

By far the best way to experience a new area in Tokyo. We went to bunch of places I never could have gone on my own, not only because I didn’t know about them, but also because the menus were all written in Japanese only. We had a great time exploring izakayas and restaurants. We had beer, sake and even green tea infused Shochu. Great way to spend the evening.

Went on this tour with friends and had a great time! I've been to Shibuya a few times before but I am not very familiar with the bars /izakayas in the area. Our guide, Yukino-san, was very accommodative and easy to talk to and overall made the tour a very enjoyable experience. She took us to a neat place frequented by many locals, with an easy-going atmosphere and lots of great food to choose from, so that was a great discovery! Would definitely like to try some of the other tours if I ever get the chance.

Kaori-san was an amazing guide and even though it was new years day, I was able to try many different and delicious foods! Without Kaori's guidance I would not have known where to go, since many places are closed during the new years in Japan. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to try many different cuisines in one day. After the tour I was completely stuffed from trying so many different foods, but it was totally worth it!

Located north-east of the heart of Tokyo, Ueno has been a perfect destination for those who desire good food and cultural exploration. What makes Ueno distinctively unique is its dynamic blend of contrasts; chaos and serenity, urban development and natural beauty, modernity and tradition, common touch and nobility. Ueno Park is located on what was once the grounds of the largest, most prestigious temple in Edo (old Tokyo), from the the 17th to 19th century. It is one of the most beloved cherry-blossom viewing spots in Tokyo. Local Japanese and tourists flock together for shopping and eating at its nearby district Ameyoko, where you will find a countless number of unique bars and dining places. While tasting the foods and enjoying the atmosphere of the area, you will find yourself becoming welcomed as a local in this friendly community.

Inclusions: 3 to 3 ½ hours guided food tour with 9 stops and 6 tastings., A passionate and experienced local english speaking guide., Great insight about local food, history, and culture., Snacks, Coffee and/or Tea, Alcoholic Beverages

Exclusions: Hotel pickup, Hotel drop-off

I love to try local foods but it's always tricky to know where to go and what to try. This tour was a fabulous experience. We tried 6 different foods, visited a temple and temple in Ueno Park and we walked through a local food market. We also tried a few different green teas. Overall a wonderful tour! You won't need dinner! :-)
