Overview

This Ginza food tour from Kanpai Japan runs with a maximum of 6 travellers. The meeting point is the Seven-Eleven outside the Ginza Entrance of Yurakucho Station, and the tour sets off at 17:00. Over the course of the walk the group makes three food stops, covering fresh seafood, Wagyu and other dishes, with 7 to 10 dishes and 3 drinks included along the way.

The route moves from Yurakucho past Ginza Mitsukoshi, where admission is not included, then through Ginza itself and along Ginza Corridor Street, passing Yurakucho Sanchoku Yokocho. The tour ends at the last restaurant, and the guide helps orient travellers toward the subway or their hotel before saying goodbye. The guide is also a photographer, so expect picture-taking along the route.

Travellers must be over 21, and the listing warns against booking while pregnant or with serious heart conditions. Hotel transport is not provided on either end. Vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free adjustments are possible with advance notice at booking, though the operator cannot guarantee allergy-free preparation since the kitchens belong to the restaurants, not the tour company.
