We had a really great time at the tour with our guide Masa. The chopsticks turned out amazing and the food was super delicious. There are so many different dishes to try that you will definitely be full at the end of the tour.
Very nice food tour, which started in Chopstick making. You can select with a wide range of woods but at some you have to pay extra. Food Tour was delicious but soo so much! Quickly first food stops but specifically the last station it's to much but so delicious. Tour guide Masa was very helpful in all questions about the food and Tokyo and Japan. Really enjoyed the evening with her.
Really great tour. Food was awsome!
We had a great night Kazu ! Very knowledgeable, very friendly with very good English. Highly recommend the tour and Kazu as a tour guide.
Kazu was great! We had a night of delicious food and good laughs! Thank you for the great experience!
Kazu was a great host and showed us many different foods! Great photos and facts about the tour
Kazu was an excellent guide for our food tour!!
The tour was excellent, it was incredible, I had a great time. I was talking to my guide the whole time, I loved it, he was very kind and showed me the real Japan. I loved it and I would do it again.
Yuj was very nice. The chopstick making was a really fun experience. The timing was perfect. The food was amazing. The vibes were there. Amazing experience.
Scheduled from yuty recommendation. Yut was very informative and fun to enjoy food with
Yuty was SOOOOO AWESOME! We loved every minute of our food tour. He really educated us on Japan’s history and culture. Great experience! Highly recommend!
Yuty was awesome!!!! What a great personable tour... Learn so much about the culture and left full from all the great, local food.
Great experience. I enjoyed all the food. It was amazing. My Tour Guide Hiro was an amazing host. I learned so much! Great work!
This is my third tour with Japan Panoramic Tours and I recommend booking with them for all Japan Tours! My sisters and I (Party of 3) participated in the chopsticks making and the Shinjuku walking food tour with our wonderful tour guide, Yui! Our first activity was at the Chopsticks Studio. It was such a wonderful experience. I made my sister pick the most difficult kind of wood. The folks at Chopsticks Studio and Yui informed us that it takes more effort due to the type of wood. The experience was memorable for us because we laughed, cried (from laughing too much), and got a work out (shaving the wood). We were ready for the walking food tour after our workout. I won’t tell you all the details of the food … because what’s the fun in that? Go book the tour and experience it yourself! There was plenty of food and we were stuffed! Yui had the cutest cards for the dishes. She explained the background of the food. We did not feel rushed and had plenty of time to finish our food at each stop. Yui & Japan Panoramic Tours — thank you for another excellent experience!!!
The tour started of with chopsticks making, which was pretty fun. We then went to four different restaurants and had a lot, and I really mean a lot of food. Everything was delicious. Our guide Yui was very much fun to be around. I recommend this tour.
I promise the tour is more fun than my pun. Our wonderful guide, Yui, started our tour at the chopsticks making studio. The process may look simple, but I had to put in some elbow grease to make my beautiful chopsticks. After that, we went to our first destination at an izakaya to start the food tour portion. Yui brought props to showcase the food we ate. She took us down to Omoide Yokocho, which was an insanely packed and busy alley with small shops that reminded me of that show, Tokyo Diner. We stopped by a place for Takoyaki (Osaka style), which was delicious, then to another izakaya. We were introduced to a new kind of food that I didn’t know about before. We had so much food that we could not finish everything. We finished the night with sweet taiyaki. I highly recommend this food tour.
The evening started with the making of chop sticks, a great experience and the best souvenir of our Japan trip. We then walked and stopped at 4 different food outlets where we got a good taste of Japanese cuisine. Our host, Yuty, was so much fun, with a great sense of humour. He was knowledgeable and incredibly patient with our attempts at a few basic words in Japanese. Walking through this vibrant city, with Yuti, made for a memorable and highly recommended walking tour
Yuty was an exceptional host His knowledge and friendly manner made the evening very memorable. The chopstick making was so much fun and s unique experience which produced a souvenir of the trip that is very special. The food tour was full of variety with both quantity and quality.providing a great introduction to Japanese cuisine. Along the way we had very interesting commentary on many points of interest. A truly memorable tour that I would highly recommend
We had an amazing food tour in Tokyo! The food was absolutely delicious, and our tour guide YuI was fantastic. She was so friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience even more enjoyable. We got to try so many delicious local dishes and learn more about Japanese food and culture. Highly recommend this tour, especially with YuI!
Loved it, delicious food and fun guide Yui, liked it a lot.
The tour with Hiro was amazing. Every place we went to was delicious, and was able to check off some items in my “need to eat” list. For the amount of food included, and having someone take you around, the cost was insanely good! We only had to wait in one line, but it seemed that there was a special event going on.
The guide Sora was very fun, she explained things about Tokyo to us, I liked the experience of making my chopsticks. The food was very delicious and abundant, we tried several dishes, the ones I liked the most were the sashimi, takoyaki, the crab croquette, and the taiyaki. The only problem was that the takoyaki was too hot to eat without a plate and I burned myself eating it all at once so it wouldn't fall 🥲
Our guide Sora was very fun and explained several things about the history of Tokyo to us. The experience of making chopsticks was very interesting and we took home a couple of very nice chopsticks. Then we went to two different places to try food, and the dishes were quite abundant and different from each other. Also, we stopped by a takoyaki stand and a taiyaki one for dessert, which were delicious. At these stands we ate on the side outside the shop, in the case of the takoyaki it was a bit difficult to eat since we didn't have a tray or napkin to set it on and the takoyaki was too hot to eat in one bite (I dropped the little piece of octopus 😢). Despite that, they were very good too.
It is the 1st time we have taken a food tour; the price, the variety of food, and the conversation with our guides have made this tour a pleasant adventure through Tokyo and its people.
It was a great surprise. Yuti is an excellent guide who provides important information about the culture and history in Japan while also taking us to eat delicious food. The walk and the food are completely worth it.
It was a wonderful tour with our guide Tsubasa. Although there were only three of us, that was not a problem at all. Very informative about the Shinjuku district and the food culture, very friendly and delicious tour through izakaya and street food. I would recommend it to everyone again. A special highlight was the hashi, the chopsticks that we had made ourselves. Great atmosphere and great tour!
We had a private food tour with our guide Tsubasa and were completely thrilled. Making our own chopsticks was a great experience. Afterward, Tsubasa led us through the crowds of Shinjuku and explained many interesting things to us along the way. The food was delicious, and there was a short explanation for every dish. We can highly recommend the tour and would do it again anytime! :)
