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.

We really enjoyed this tour! David could tell us a lot about wasabi and he is clearly very passionate about it. We were allowed to grind the wasabi ourselves and of course eat it. I would definitely recommend this tour. The area is very nice as well.

Gosh - such a great time! It was just like we were in a byFood video. She took us through Harajuku explaining the sites, eats, and giving off those special Shizuka vibes the whole time! She was a spectacular host. Our group was small, so easy to make quick (drinking) friends. Food was fantastic, and the non-food activities were a blast. 10/10 would do again! :-)
