Why Travelers Choose This Tour
Skip the overpriced tourist eateries and instead follow your guide inside some of Shibuya’s wealth of side-street restaurants favored by Tokyo residents. As you hop between food stops you’ll sample a variety of Japanese delicacies from across the country, including Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki, Osaka-style takoyaki, seven different kinds of sushi, Wagyu Beef or Kobe beef ‘yakitori’ (barbecue) skewers, and even some taiyaki dessert. You’ll even get to wander through the labyrinth of food items for sale at a “depachika” (underground food hall). One included beverage will help you wash it all down.
Finish your food exploration back at your original starting point with a full stomach and a newfound appreciation for Japan’s one-of-a-kind gastronomic culture.

Viator Traveler's Reviews
An excellent way to dive into the local food and entertainment culture. We would never have experienced these various foods and places around town without Kate, our guide. Sooo much better than the other tours we booked while visiting Tokyo. Very personal, very informative. HIGHLY recommend
We booked this tour to experience the Shibuya neighborhood, and Kate fully delivered. Not only did we eat delicious food, but she gave history of the neighborhood and cultural highlights as well. Kate was joined by Carole, whom she was training, and they both were very knowledgeable and fun. We definitely felt we got more than our money's worth with the experience they gave us. Kate also gave very helpful recommendations for after the conclusion of the tour. Thanks again Kate!Stephanie and Brian
As other reviewers have said, you'd be really full by the end of the tour. That's why we came prepared and brought some food containers along so that we can pack any unfinished food and enjoy them the following day. While I'm more of a meat lover, the highlight of the tour for me turned out to be the sushi stop. Definitely the best sushi I've ever had! The kobe beef skewers didn't disappoint either. I took one star off as something I would change is the dessert, as I would think there are better options out there which I would be more curious to try than the custard-filled pancakes we had on this tour instead.
