Food Experiences Japan

Step beyond the guidebooks and into the vibrant heart of Tokyo's local food scene. Our private tours offer unparalleled access to hidden gems and beloved neighborhood spots, where you'll savor delicious, authentic dishes cherished by locals.

​About Us

From 2014 to 2020, we proudly offered our tour guide services. We had to temporarily close down due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but now, we're back and ready to welcome you again!

At Food Experiences Japan, we hope that everyone who visits our country will discover Japan's beautiful food culture and unique experiences.

 

Our service was born from a frustrating experience our founder had while traveling in Italy. She struggled with the language barrier and couldn't find the delicious local food she was searching for. She wasn't interested in touristy spots on the main streets; she wanted to find a hidden gem in a back alley and have a truly memorable experience. But she quickly learned that this wasn't easy to do on her own.

Even in today's digital age, where you can find almost anything with a quick search, the "live information" that's deeply connected to local life can only be truly discovered with a local guide.
 

We would be honored to guide you on that same journey of discovery.
