“We LOVED our tour and our tour guide Brian! Highly recommended by a friend, we met Brian in a neighborhood we'd never heard of; Brian, though not native Japanese, was more than fluent in the language, culture, and the idiosyncracies of this particular out-of-the-way neighborhood. We had more food than we could eat in a number of places, and it was all absolutely delicious. I couldn't recommend this tour more hightly. If we go back to Japan, we will definitely explore other tours.”
