Asakusa Local Food and Drink bar hopping Tour

I was very lucky to be a group of one and to have Yukio as my guide. He shared so much information with me - food, drink, customs, history - all with gentle good humor and grace. He knew that my earlier exposure to Sensoji Temple had been very limited and he made a point to show me the temple lit up at night and shared more history and traditions. I really appreciated his guidance (and his reassurance that the puffer fish really was safe to eat!) and insights. I am an older woman traveling solo, so it was wonderful to have such a great guide and to have the opportunity to experience the delights of this area at night. I highly recommend this tour and most especially Yukio as the guide.

If you want to see and experience the real Japan you must definitely go on this tour. I was a Solo traveller and would never have experienced these places on my own. My tour guide Tak was excellent, he had great local knowledge and spoke very good english. Asakusa is a very interesting area with many restaurants and bars, and you will be taken to a great selection of them for a different taste sensations. As a bonus to walk through the Sensoji Temple area at night when it is all lit up is wonderful. This is a fantastic tour that I thoroughly would recommend.

We had a lovely evening with Yukio our guide who showed us around some great restaurants. We even tried puffer fish for the first time. We would recommend this trip and Yukio our guide to friends.

This was a fun evening with lots of delicious foods and beverages. Highly recommend.

There were five of us from all over and we had a great time! Yu was friendly, generous, so nice, and very informative. He took us to several places we would never have known to go. We started with craft beers at the Asahi headquarters. Then we walked along the river under the cherry blossoms to a saki tasting which included meeting a true sake master. Yu also took us to an Izakaya where we had a sampling of traditional Japanese neighbourhood fare. We ended up at an upstairs small restaurant where we cooked three types of Japanese pancakes at the table. I love okonomiyaki! All food was servered with our choice of drinks. I recommend plum wine with sofa. The tour is in a great neighbourhood. Its fun and filling. I highly recommend it!

Yukio was great! We stopped at four different locations throughout the night--all were different and highly enjoyable. My favorite was sitting outside of a restaurant drinking Japanese cocktails and dining on small plates of food. Perfect night!

Yukio and Yu were great tour guides, I especially enjoyed the stop on Hoppy Street! and afterwards for pancakes. Very fun evening.

Our guide was awesome. He is friendly and always has a smile on the face. We enjoyed his accompany and knowledge about the town and local restaurants. We had a unique experience in tasting beer and sake! That was fun!

This was our third tour with this company, and we loved this one as well! Each tour we took three with this company in total provided us with a different insight, a different flavor, and a different taste to Tokyo culture and cuisine. Despite being a small group, we had two members from the company come out and provide us a great time! Not only did we get to see a more traditional and historical section of Tokyo, Asakusa, we also had ample opportunity to try interesting foods that admittedly, we might not have ordered on our own. We wouldn't even have known they existed! We made ample stops to different establishments, learned about food and night culture in an inviting format, and had a great evening. In addition, we were also encouraged to ask questions. Our guides were willing to share personal stories, point us in the right direction for future endeavors, and encourage us to try new things. The personal touch of this company is what really touched us the most. The kindness and enthusiasm this company showed to us caused us to end our evening and final tour with them with the warmest of feelings. If we ever make it back to Japan, we will make our best efforts to seek this company out for any other tours that might introduce us to something new or if they extend to other cities and we are able to make it to these cities they extended into Kyoto, I think!, we will make our best effort to seek them out there. We felt comfortable, encouraged, and satisfied on all counts. We left each tour with a new zeal and confidence for the focus of each experience and a deep appreciation and respect for the people running the tours.

We had a wonderful time discovering the Asakusa district with our friend You. We had lots of fun, lots of great food and lots of different unique drinks. If you want to experience food and drink in Japan and meet some other fun people, you cannot beat this tour!
