This small-group food and culture tour in Tokyo lasts about three and a half hours and takes place after 5 pm. The group meets at Mitsukoshi Ginza by the Lion statue on Chuo Street to start promptly. The tour begins with a tasting of wagashi, traditional Japanese sweets, followed by a walk through Ginza where participants may visit the Itoya stationery store. Next, the group takes the subway to Tsukishima’s Monja Street, known for monjayaki, a local dish unique to Tokyo. Guests cook monjayaki on a hot plate at the table with guidance from the local English-speaking guide. The final stop is Yakitori Alley in Yurakucho, where participants enjoy yakitori grilled meat skewers paired with sake or beer from various local vendors, each offering distinct tare sauces. All tastings are included, along with two subway tickets for travel during the tour. Participants sample yakitori, monja-yaki, and wagashi, and choose two drinks from sake, beer, or a soft drink. The tour is limited to eight people for a more personal setting. Additional drinks beyond the included two and gratuities are not covered. The tour involves moderate walking and is run entirely by local businesses.
