It can be tricky sniffing out the best local haunts on the Tokyo street food scene, but on this walking and food tour, you’ll gain an insider’s knowledge. Enjoy an immersive private or small-group tour that teaches you about everyday life in the eclectic local neighbourhoods of Nakano and Koenji, with delicious street food tastings along the way.

Andy is an Australian guide based in Japan, who knows the city and Japanese culture perfectly.
He took us to places that we would not have thought of on our own, made us taste delicious local street food specialties and explained to us the “customs and customs” of Tokyoites and Japanese.
An enriching experience that I highly recommend to foreign visitors.

This was an absolutely phenomenal experience! My family of 4 (two daughters ages 13 and 15) had a blast with Andy biking through the streets of Tokyo. I was a little apprehensive before the tour that we might be overwhelmed navigating the crowds and traffic but Andy took us on a route through the mostly calm back streets of Koenji and the surrounding neighborhoods. It was fascinating to see a side of Tokyo you just don't get when hitting the tourist hot spots. An added bonus was Andy's commentary as a long time resident about the daily life of raising a family in Tokyo, all while hitting some fantastic street food options. The standing Soba meal was a highlight of our trip. This is a tour not to be missed!

We had a great time. The food was fun and the ride was great. The ride was wasn’t that hard except for the tight spaces.

I learned so much about Japanese culture that I did not know from Andy - and tried foods I haven't yet tried (which is impressive, because this is my third trip to Japan and I have Tokyo-based friends!). It was really fun to be introduced to two parts of the city I haven't explored by someone who knows the area so well. Also, Koenji has a ton of fantastic vintage shops, so my sister and I did a *lot* of shopping after our tour wrapped. So fun!

Visited Tokyo around New Years with a few friends in early 30s. This tour was one of the highlights of the entire trip... Even the skiing, haha low snow this year. Andy was great and had a ton of local neighborhood knowledge. He answered questions I didn't even know I had and in great detail. Such random fun facts. Great mix of food you may not have tried and enjoying the "experience."

Highly recommend this tour, Andy was well versed in local knowledge and was able to answer any questions that we had about the food, culture and Tokyo in general. The eateries he took us to were amazing, and definitely ones that you wouldn’t know about or wouldn’t think to go into without being a local. Overall a great experience!

We thoroughly enjoyed our time with Andy, what a superb introduction to a less touristy area. The food he bought for us to eat was all very fresh and delicious. Some from places you would never find, or have the confidence to order from. It's certainly encouraged us to be more adventurous in the rest of out food travels around Japan. Andy's local streets were full or locay owner stores and family's out doing their shopping. We would certainly reccomy and hope to see Andy again one day. Thankyou Andy 👍
