Excellent experience, 3 hours of food and culture with Ron gave us a real insight into the food and culture of Japan. Ron was a great host and took us to a number is spots a tourist is unlikely to find . I would highly recommend!

Felt like an insider finding all the cool spots!
We had absolutely wonderful time on our tour! Russ was a fantastic guide, giving us an ongoing history and culture lesson as we ate at some of the best places of our entire trip. From little shops in the open market to cool izakayas tucked away where you'd never find them on your own, we felt like we were getting an insider's view. The time went quickly, and we were STUFFED by the end. Go light on food before the tour, and don't make any solid dinner plans -- you'll be satisfied for a while.
