5.00I had an amazing time on the Izakaya Food Night Tour in Nagano! Our guide, Masa, was fantastic—knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about the local food scene. We visited some fantastic izakayas, sampling delicious dishes like fresh sashimi and grilled skewers. Masa shared the cultural significance of each dish, which made the experience even more memorable. He made sure we were comfortable and engaged throughout the tour, and his recommendations were spot on. If you're in Nagano, I highly recommend this tour for a fun and authentic food experience! You will not go back to your hotel hungry.
