Japan food tours are a remarkable way to explore the country's exquisite specialties that are complemented by artful presentation. Start your food tour in Japan in the cultural capital Tokyo for the freshest sushi. 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. Engage with local chefs and food vendors to learn about the delicacies and take a cooking class to make a traditional dish yourself. Outdoorsy ones can pair their holiday with a sightseeing tour to explore Japan's modern cities that blend with ancient history and culture.  Discover our best food tours in Japan below.

Pure magic

I've wanted to visit Japan for many years, and this more than lived up to expectations. There were times that I felt overwhelmed (Tokyo), and times that I was walking in the woods. A nice mix of free time and structured tours.

Ancient & Modern Japan

The ultimate foodie adventure!

The food was absolutely delicious, from start to finish—every meal was a highlight. Exploring Osaka Castle and then diving into the Kuromon Market for some street food was epic. The sushi-making class in Tokyo was SO much fun, and visiting Senso-ji Temple right after made it even better. Big thanks for the ultimate foodie adventure!
