This tour is not to be missed! Anna made this experience so much better than expected. She has such great energy, a fun personality, and is incredibly knowledgeable regarding all things Japan... The history, food, culture, customs, origins, etc. The chosen restaurants and specific foods we had were outstanding, and there is no way we would have ever found any of it without this tour and Anna! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

It was a great experience! Scott was very personable and led a great tour for the group of 7 (including me). He had great conversations and gave great advice. Andrew (the owner) and Scott provided great support, communication and advice before/after the tour with recommendations/reminders. We tried a bit of everything that Osaka is known for. Scott was great at letting us know what was upcoming on the tour, such as the included alcoholic drinks and types of food. The restaurant owners were very personable too. The foods itself was great and local. You can really taste that it was something that locals would frequent.
