What To Expect
Jump into the world of Japanese cuisine with some of the best and most underrated restaurants Shinjuku has to offer while taking a trip down ‘Memory Lane’ to see where Shinjuku grew from in the post-war era into the bustling commercial and administrative center that it is today before taking a short detour through Kabukicho, Tokyo’s premiere nightlife district and learning a little history of the project that never came to be and how the Tokyo underground influenced the area into what we have now. Here we’ll stop for a quick snack with one of Japan’s soul foods, a relic of Meiji period trade with the West. From there, we’ll find our way to the southernmost prefecture of Japan with a tropical stop in Okinawa and get to taste some of the wide variety of dishes and dessert that find their way from the beautiful seas around the islands themselves before wrapping up in front of the iconic Shinjuku station with its buskers, billboards, bright lights, and much beloved 3D Cat.

5.00We had only a few hours in Tokyo and this was the best way to spend it. We were able to combine incredible local food and drink with city sites and history while walking between restaurants. Our guide, Michael, was able to meet my dietary needs (gluten free), which made stopping to eat stress free. I never would have been able to guide myself so efficiently or have had to knowledge to order the best menu items without our tour guide.
Amazing food.
