A trip with a wonderful guide - Sakura guided us around the local area perfectly! In addition to drinking, we also enjoyed local food, shopping, and playing games. Without her, we would have ended our trip at a mediocre restaurant without ever getting to know the real Ueno. We highly recommend this tour!

Special travel experience with the best guide - Taka is an excellent guide, with a wealth of knowledge and great attention to detail. It was an ideal trip for me as he took me to restaurants I wouldn't normally go to and ordered many authentic dishes. I'm really glad I made a reservation. Thanks to him, I was able to deeply experience the local culture and food. He also has a friendly personality and I was able to enjoy a good conversation with him. I would definitely like to ask him again next time.

A wonderful night with Taka-san! - It was a great tour through the Ueno area, which has lots of great restaurants, even though it wasn't crowded with other tourists. We were also very lucky to have our guide, Taka. He did a great job and guided us to some really nice places with great food while having very nice and interesting conversations. I definitely recommend a tour with him! Thank you Taka-san for a wonderful evening of food!

Excellent guide and local cuisine - The tour with Rin was fun and informative. We visited local restaurants and bars in the Ueno area that are frequented by locals. The variety of food and drinks was excellent, and the portions were plentiful. Rin is an enthusiastic and efficient guide. He was very friendly and the whole experience was very enjoyable.

Local trip with the very best guide Kei - Our guide, Kei, was very kind and had a great sense of humor. I had just arrived in Japan and was worried because I couldn't speak English at all, but talking to Kei put me at ease. His English is perfect! He taught me a lot of know-how to make my trip to Japan smooth. I made a reservation on the first day I came to Japan and it was a good decision. I wish him success in his business!

Great tour with the wonderful Sakura! - This was a great tour hosted by the brilliant Sakura! She’s absolutely lovely and great fun - Took me around to the local restaurants and bars, with some amazing food! Learnt quite a lot about Ueno and it’s history too. As a solo traveller I was made to feel extremely comfortable and had a great time. Would definitely recommend 😊

Real japan - I booked this tour even though there weren't many reviews because the other tours seemed to have a lot of participants. Our guide, Sakura, was so easy to talk to that it felt like we had known each other for a long time, and she was like a Japanese friend. We had a great time at a special izakaya bars that only locals would go to. If you are watching this and want to enjoy Ueno, I highly recommend making a reservation.

A delicious and fun experience - We had a great time during this food tour with Sakura. We were able to experience true izakayas with her where the locals go, that we would have definitely not been able to navigate ourselves. We had many drinks along the way and ended the tour with some delicious ramen!
