5.00Kei smashed it out of the park. We’re from the UK and easily confused about what’s legitimate Japanese food and what’s the tourist version. He had brilliant knowledge and all the food was fantastic. Highly recommend you do this early in the tour as he’s got so many recommendations.
Great food & tour guide (Agathe) and great for solo travelers!

5.00Agathe was an awesome tour guide, highly recommend her. As a solo traveler, this was a great trip, ended up exchanging numbers with a couple of people and we met up for dinner and a show another night. Food was well curated, there was a mix of sit down restaurants and standing street food, and I liked that the desert was warm (visiting in January, so it’s cold out). Great experience all around!
