麻糬 美食之旅(7)

I was always interested with doing some sort of tour in Japan but could never figure out which one to go on. The moment I found out Shizuka was hosting the Harajuku tour I immediately knew that if there was any Japan tour for me to go on that this would definitely be the one. That instinct did not steer me wrong because this was absolutely one of the most memorable moments of all my trips to Japan! Shizuka is just as kind, bubbly and endearing in all of the videos she is in, maybe even more so! I have to admit that I was nervous meeting her but her genuine personality makes everyone feel so comfortable to the point where it feels like we’ve known her forever. She is also amazing with children. There were two in our group and she engaged with them in the most cool auntie way! Shizuka really made this tour so much fun and very informative with her knowledge of Japan history. She is just so much fun to be around and If she’s still doing tours by the next time I plan a trip back to Japan you can definitely count me in! I really had thee most amazing time. This will be a memory I will cherish and hold dear in my heart forever. Arigato gozaimashita Shizuka!!

We had an amazing time with Shizuka! Our kids (ages 6 and 9) thought this was one of the best things we did in Japan- they had the opportunity to learn about the Harajuku culture, to try tons of new foods (fun and delicious) and Shizuka kept them engaged and excited for the entire time. I really appreciated her patience and her ability to manage the group and our varying interests. The kids are already asking when we can go back to do another food tour with Shizuka!! Thank you, ByFood and Shizuka for hosting this incredible tour!

Shizuka Anderson is a wonderful host. Her energy and kindness immediately brings a group of strangers together. One will feel like they are part of one of her Byfoods videos. The overall detail and locations are thoughtful, thorough.m and chosen with purpose. Overall anyone that is able to book this tour is lucky to be on it.

We had a great time hopping around to different places for food with Bruce. He brings a ton of knowledge of the yatais and every dish he ordered was delicious. He’s a fun guy to talk to. You won’t regret booking the experience.

It’s rained and so there were very few vendors but Bruce did not disappoint. He knows the city and the food here very well and we had a great time. He was flexible to accommodate what our group was most interested in and found us some amazing food. He also was very good at engaging the locals which really enhanced the experience. Highly recommend.
