What Our Guests Say
"I met Frank a few years ago on my first trip to Tokyo and he said if I came back, he would help plan the entire trip. Fast forward three years and that's what we did. I visited Tokyo for four days with six friends. Frank and his team planned out an amazing trip from beginning to end. Everyone had an amazing time.
We had guides for our stay who showed us around the city, where we got to eat amazing food and see interesting things. Really enjoyed working with the team. Couldn't recommend more highly."
What Our Guests Say
"We were taken on our Shinjuku ramen tour by Bunga on the first night of our Japan honeymoon, and what an incredible way to start the trip!! As ramen novices, we really benefited from the things we learned while on the tour. All of the ramen was delicious, and Bunga was an excellent guide.
One of the best things is you get a guided tour through Shinjuku as you move from location 1 to location 2, and then a quick subway journey to get to location 3, which helped us understand what we needed to do for the rest of the trip."
What Our Guests Say
"We loved our full day tour with Frank! We started in Nakameguro, made our way to Musashi Koyama & Togoshi Ginza for takoyaki, yakitori, fried chicken, pudding, curry buns, onigiri, and so much more. We saw more residential areas like Kugahara & Jiyugaoka, and ended with Tantanmen ramen at Nakano.
Frank is knowledgeable, kind, & thoughtful and designed a tour for us based exactly on what we wanted to eat and explore. It's clear he is well connected to the local food community in Tokyo, and even got spotted by a fan on our tour! It was the perfect way to end our Japan trip. His dad jokes were the cherry on top!"
What Our Guests Say
"Brian was a wonderful tour guide and did such a thorough job researching his bar picks. We never would have found these bars as tourists! We loved learning about the history of cocktails in Japan while tasting some of the best drinks I’ve had in Tokyo. His tour is also inclusive to those who prefer mocktails!
My partner doesn’t drink alcohol and he was blown away by the care put into each of his drinks. Also the food stop we took had this pesto pasta with shishito pepper that I still dream about it!! From seasonal menus with fresh produce and getting exclusive cocktail menus at each stop, we highly recommend [the Ebisu Cocktail Tour]."
What Our Guests Say
"I can’t say enough good things about the tour or my guide she was lovely. She was from NYC originally and was kind and informative about the restaurants food options and history of the two market streets we explored. I would highly recommend."
