Delicious Day in Harajuku
We really enjoyed this food tour with our guide Clara. Our tour consisted just of our family of 5, two adults and 3 kids ages 7-12. Clara took us to great spots, she was so helpful and patient. She even quickly found a bathroom at the end of the tour for my son. I love that you can try lots of little things, and that a real lunch was included. I would definitely recommend to anyone going to Tokyo.

Delicious and Fun!
We took the Kawaii food tour with Kay in Shinjuku and had a fantastic time. We don’t usually take tours and were delighted by Kay’s knowledge and warmth. It was remarkably easy and well-planned. The restaurants welcomed us like old friends, and the lunch location had a table waiting for us. She even had a treat waiting for our kid’s 9th birthday. I liked learning little things about meal culture in Japan, especially what to say when receiving food and finishing our meal. Those tips helped us for the rest of our 2-week trip!
