Explore the fish markets and the exclusive omakase restaurants where customers leave it to the chef to serve seasonal delicacies. Discover savory ramen in Fukuoka and enjoy regional sweets like wagashi and taiyaki. A food tour in Osaka is a deep dive into traditional street foods like takoyaki, mitarashi-dango (grilled sticky rice dumplings), okonomiyaki (crepe) and much more.

Japan Food tours Reviews

5 - Excellent
Based on 50 customer reviews
Japan - in nearly full bloom!
5 - Excellent
  • Anonymous
“Whistle-stop tour of Japan's best bits - people have asked if I'd go back - well of course I would if someone was paying my fare! Fantastic country full of culture, contrast and contradiction.”
Japan in Blossom Time!
5 - Excellent
  • Anonymous
“We were incredibly lucky to visit Japan at peak blossom time and it was absolutely stunning! This trip is a well-planned and well balanced introduction to Japan, ranging from ancient temples and shrines to the buzz of downtown Tokyo, and includes visits to small, rural towns as well as modern cities. Finishing in Tokyo means you are familiar with finding your way around on Japanese trains by the time you get there. The tour packs a lot in and, although it didn't feel rushed, there are some long days and be prepared for plenty of walking.”
A trip that I will cherish forever!
5 - Excellent
  • Owen Short
“An amazing way to experience Japan in a short trip for your first time. Being able to meet people all over the world and share the experience was perfect. For the price and freedom to explore when not busy was worth every cent. Almost overwhelming how much you get to see and do in the prettiest place in the world. Felt safe and if I needed anything my guide was able to help. Met so many amazing people that I consider valued friends in just 10 days of fun. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience!”

Highlights of Japan Food Tours

  • Explore the diverse culinary scenes of Kyoto, renowned for elegant kaiseki cuisine.
  • Immerse yourself in the world of traditional tea ceremonies and savor the richness of matcha green tea.

Travel tips for Japan Food Tours

  • Observe table manners and show appreciation for the food. It is customary to pay respects and thank the servers by saying “itadakimasu” before eating and “gochisousama deshita” after finishing.
  • Carry sufficient cash as some local eateries might not accept credit cards, especially in smaller towns.
  • Visit food markets to discover fresh produce, unique ingredients and delightful snacks.
  • Communicate dietary restrictions or food allergies in advance to your tour guide.
  • Refrain from leaving tips at restaurants as Japan does not have a tipping custom.
  • Be mindful of others’ privacy and avoid using flash in intimate dining settings while taking pictures on your food tour.
