This Tokyo food tour in Ueno lasts about three and a half hours and includes more than ten tastings of classic Japanese dishes. The tour begins at Ameyoko Shopping Street, a busy indoor-outdoor market with many shops selling food, gifts, and apparel. Next, the route continues to Gaado Shita, the area beneath the elevated train tracks known as "under the girders." The tour then moves to Ueno Park, a large public park famous for its cherry blossoms in spring. After the park, the group visits a Shinto shrine built in 1627 dedicated to Tokugawa Ieyasu, the founder of the Tokugawa Shogunate. The final stop is Kiyomizu Kannon-do, a Buddhist center surrounded by peaceful landscaping. Throughout the tour, participants taste fresh sushi, crispy gyoza, yakitori skewers, seasonal fruits, traditional matcha ice cream, two types of tea, one draft beer, and water. A local English-speaking guide with experience in the area leads the tour. Hotel pickup and drop-off are not included, and gratuities are not covered. The itinerary and menu may change depending on availability and weather. The tour involves a fair amount of walking, so comfortable shoes are recommended. Dietary requirements should be communicated to the operator before the tour.
