We had the pleasure of Hiro giving us a tour of the Nishiki Market. Unfortunately we had a tight schedule and Hiro went out of his way to accommodate our timeline. Not only did we learn so much about local cuisine we were also provided several suggestions on tips on other things to do in the area. Hiro is very interesting and a great conversationalist. We will definitely take his evening tour next time we are in Japan. Thanks Again Hiro.

Kyoto’s Kitchen: Nishiki Market Food Tour With Hiroshi
Food Tours
Akito is very knowledgeable and professional. He showed us a local farm and explained the leaf picking process. At the factory, he explained the tea production process. We tasted tea prepared different ways, and we gained understanding of what made the teas so different. It was a very educational and enjoyable tour. The view from the mountain was incredible!

Shizuoka Tea Farm Tour with Factory Visit and Tea Tasting
Food Tours
Despite the rainy and foggy weather, Akito-san was capable to light up our day! He picked us up at the station and let us have a small tour of the tea plantation (we just discovered the Camelia plants bloom in November!) explaining all the details of the harvesting (timing, methods, etc). Later we had a tea tasting session right inside the farm were the tea leaves are dried and rolled. Akito-san explained every detail from the tea refinement process to the chemical composition and how it might influence the taste. The very informal environment made us feel like home and it was such an amazing experience thanks to our host kindness and availability. Akito-san is very knowledgeable and definitely an expert in the tea sector: he was able to answer any question we might have (and we had many...thanks for the patience!). I won’t go in the details to avoid spoilers, but everything was both delicious and interesting. If you’re into tea (or just into exploring and learning), take this opportunity to discover this remote location and what the (japanese) tea actually is. We are tea lovers and we already knew more than a thing, but it turned out that we were missing huge pieces of the picture. Totally worth the money; the landscapes, the information and the tastes will be an highlight of our 3-weeks trip. Note: Akito-san definitely speaks a very good English!

Our tour experience was exceptional and unforgettable! Akiko and her sister were incredibly warm and welcoming, generously sharing not only fascinating stories about Asakusa but also unique insights into Japanese culture and history. They made every stop meaningful with details that enriched our understanding of the area. The tour offered a perfect balance of captivating information and local delicacies. We sampled an array of traditional treats, both sweet and savory, including strawberry daifuku, a deliciously crispy minced wagyu croquette, perfectly seasoned rice crackers, and several other delightful surprises. Each bite added to the cultural immersion, making it an experience we will cherish for a long time.
