Need a fun, chill and daring night out??!
Here it is! Came with friends, new and old, my partner, his son and we all enjoyed the ride. Do it! Come and enjoy food, drinks, companionship and the whole fun vibe! Are you brave enough to try new foods? I give my courage an 8/10 but was impressed to see some 10/10 in our group 🤣

Hi Lily
I’m happy to hear you all enjoyed the “Eat & Drink Like a Local – Taverns & Ramen in Ueno, Tokyo” food and drinks tour!
I think trying things you can’t get back home is one of the best parts of traveling — it gives you great stories to talk about once you’re back. I always try new things when I travel overseas too, and I’d give my courage a solid 10/10 every time 😄
I also have a feeling you’re already missing Japan. If so, why not start planning your trip back? Once you decide to return to Tokyo, please get in touch — I’d love to take you to another area next time.
And if you’re keen to try even more adventurous food, I can definitely organise a special tour just for you!
Hopefully I’ll see you again soon!
Cheers
Aki
Great tour from Akira
From the very beginning, the tour felt welcoming. Akira is a fun, knowledgeable guide who clearly enjoys what he does. I also met some friendly people along the way and had a great time. Don’t hesitate to book a tour with Akira!

Hi Erik
I’m delighted to hear you found me a fun and knowledgeable guide — and yes, I really do enjoy looking after foreign tourists!
I’m also happy to hear you met some great people on the food and drinks tour and had such a good time.
I strongly believe you started missing Japan as soon as you left! If that’s the case, please make plans to come back and get in touch — I’d love to take you to another part of Tokyo next time.
Hopefully it won’t be too long!

Great tour!
This was a great way to start off our trip to Japan! We tried lots of different foods and drinks and the ramen at the end was delicious. We were able to experience a fun, authentic bar hopping environment that would’ve been tough without a local. Aki was friendly and a fun host!

Hi Allison
I’m truly happy to hear you felt you were able to experience a fun, authentic bar-hopping scene in Ueno — something that would’ve been tough to find without a local on a food and drinks tour. I’m also delighted to hear you found me friendly and a fun host!
I’m pretty sure you’re already missing Japan, so please come back for your next adventure. When you do, just message me — I’d love to show you another area of Tokyo next time.
Hopefully I’ll see you again soon!

Ramen Highlight
It was amazing. The guide and his assistance were super prepared.
It was not just a tavern and ramen tour, but also local places and japanese behavior was explained.
He had a look on everyone and takes care of your food wishes/ allergys.
We can recommand this tour for everyone who wants to visit places you never found/ visit as a tourist alone.
An Amazing Tour with Aki!
I had such a wonderful time on this tour with Aki! From the very beginning, Aki was warm, welcoming, and made everyone feel comfortable. The way he shared his knowledge about Japanese food, drinks, and culture was both fun and informative. I learned so much while also laughing and enjoying the experience.
The food and drinks we tried were absolutely delicious, and Aki made sure we got a real taste of Japan beyond what most tourists would find on their own. He was also so thoughtful about taking great photos for us, which made the memories even more special.
What I appreciated most was how personal and genuine the whole experience felt. It was clear Aki really cares about his guests having the best time possible.
If you’re visiting Tokyo, I highly recommend this tour. It’s the perfect mix of culture, food, fun, and great company. Thank you, Aki, for making my trip so memorable!
Highly recommend this tour!
Aki was welcoming, engaging, thoughtful and organized. The food and drinks were lovely and plentiful. He was well-prepared and kept the tour moving at a comfortable pace. I never felt bored or rushed. He shared history and points of interest along the way, in a way that felt like we a group of friends on a night out. He also accommodated dietary needs for some of our group with care. Aki is a star and I am so glad to have been on the tour.
Amazing tour for foodies!
This is a fantastic experience for people interested in authentic Japanese food and beverage culture. Aki is very experienced, knowledgeable, and engaging, and he takes you to places that most visitors wouldn’t know about. The only thing I wish is that I had a second stomach so I could eat more, definitely skip lunch if you’re going on the tour!
feeling like a local!
The best thing you can experience as a tourist is feeling like a local! Akira definitely gave us that and we are so grateful for it! We truly felt like locals for a night. He took us to a variety of local restaurants and bars to try and did a fantastic job at explaining cultural norms, areas, and describing the food. I hope that everyone gets the opportunity to experience Tokyo like we did, it was truly a unique experience and we couldn’t have done it without Akira.
Had such a good time!
Had such a good time! The locations were definitely places I wouldn’t have gone by myself as a solo traveler so well worth it!
Had a great time on this tour.
Had a great time on this tour. Aki is so funny, knowledgeable, and personable. His food tour is super well rounded. I definitely never would have explored this area of Tokyo without Aki!
