5.00This is such a fun, delicious tour! Our guide was Tossy and she told us all about the area and showed us the best spots - we got to go through “Memory Alley,” see the Godzilla head, eat some delicious sushi omakase, cook Wagyu, and visit a viewing point to see the city from up high! Tossy was very knowledgeable imparting stories and teaching lessons along the way, and she was also very kind and made us feel very welcome as travelers to Tokyo and Japan at large. Couldn’t recommend this experience more!!
