Bruce is a master host. Not only did he take us to amazing yatais (we're still dreaming about ramen and mochi-wrapped bacon), he provided just the right mix of information, entertainment, and good old-fashioned conversation throughout the evening. Also, his longstanding relationships with the yatai operators were evident - and heartwarming to see. Touring with Bruce was definitely a highlight of our trip!

We didn't have a tour with Anne & Lauren. We had our tour with Hannah from the company "arigato TRAVEL." Fortunately, Hannah was an absolute pleasure. Our tour with her amounted to the highlight of my month long trip to Japan. Initially I was a bit disappointed that byFood subcontracted their tours after hearing so many positive things about the company online. But again, Hannah was superb, delivering a tour of the highest standard. Thank you, Hannah! Thank you arigato TRAVEL!

The food and ambiance were fantastic, and you could tell everyone was really enjoying themselves! The first yatai was truly life-changing—the food was incredible, and the owner was so kind. We had a wonderful time chatting, not only with each other but also with the people around us. Bruce was amazing! He ensured everyone was having a great time, recommending the best dishes at each spot. His friendly and approachable nature made it easy for him to connect with others, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere for everyone.
