Hi Shiri
I’m delighted to hear that you found me knowledgeable, friendly, and funny on the food and drinks tour!
I believe you and your family are on your way back to the States right now, carrying lots of great memories from your time in Japan. I’m sure you’re already missing your days of traveling here.

Tour with Aki
We had the best experience ever at the Taverns and Rame tour. An absolute blast of a night and a unique insight into Tokyo’s nightlife from a local’s perspective.

Hi Ashley
I’m so happy to hear that you felt I was able to tie together Japan’s culture, food, and personal stories, and that the experience made your group feel more like friends. It truly means a lot to me that you enjoyed exploring Japanese cuisine and local spots together, with plenty of laughs along the way!
I also completely agree that visiting local places is one of the best ways to experience Japan. While Japan has fewer “tourist price” situations compared to some other countries, they do still exist, so it’s always good to be a little careful.
It sounds like you might already be missing Japan—so why not make it your next travel destination? There are still so many wonderful places for you to discover here. When you start planning your next itinerary, please feel free to message me. I’d love to show you another side of Japan next time!
Hopefully, I’ll see you again in the not-too-distant future.
Warm regards
Aki
Fun night in Ueno
A very fun experience learning about Japanese food and drink culture with Aki. He really knew how to entertain his guests with this tour. Would recommend to anyone who wants to explore spots only locals would frequent. A great variety of unique foods and drinks.

Hi Bryn
I’m delighted to hear that you felt I was a brilliant host — knowledgeable and an all-round funny guy!
I really enjoyed having drinks with you after the tour and talking about Manchester culture through Oasis. It was great hearing about how you enjoyed their reunion tours in the UK and Australia (and I loved seeing them in Tokyo too!).
I hope you can come back to Tokyo soon, especially since you’re living in Sydney now — no worries about jet lag!
See you soon, mate!
Aki
Fantastic food tour in Tokyo!
At the recommendation of a coworker, I booked this tour while I was in Tokyo for vacation. While I ended up being the only one on the tour, Aki still provided a very educational and personal experience for me about Japanese culture and food! I enjoyed every food we got to sample—each experience was a joy to the palate and senses with a chance to savor the subtle flavors of each dishes! Big piece of advice—don’t eat a big meal beforehand! Don’t hesitate and book this tour now! 10/10 recommend!

Excellent Food Tour
This was quite possibly my favorite night in Tokyo! Aki is a great tour guide and really knows the best local spots. He explains all of the food before trying it and it only makes it better. He also clearly knows so much about the culture and city and is great at teaching others!

Best food/drink tour in Tokyo!!!
If anyone is going to Tokyo for the first time, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this experience with Akira. I wish we would have done this on our first day, because he goes over so much information that is so helpful for our first time in Japan about etiquette, and great information in general. Now to the food, the places you go on this tour are so delicious, and are places my husband and I would never be able to find on our own. We are so thankful for Akira showing us around. He really goes above and beyond in the experience and is so considerate. He is also SO funny! You will love this tour. Highly recommend it!!!
