Yummy food tour
Hikaru was a great tour guide. He was fun, engaging and spoke English well. The food stalls for the tastings were delicious. Our group would have preferred more stops in the marketplace to sample more foods instead of the restaurant meal that was at the conclusion of our tour. I would highly recommend this tour.
