Overview

This private walk with Michitabi Tokyo strings together more than ten street food tastings across seven different eateries, all within two and a half hours. It runs through two shopping streets that see few tourists, Musashi Koyama Shopping Street Palm and Togoshiginza Shopping Street, with an optional half hour at Togoshi Hachiman Shrine if the group wants a quieter finish. A local guide stays with your group only, helping with choosing, ordering, and talking with shop owners.

The format suits travellers whose Japanese is limited, since one reviewer said an interpreter is genuinely useful in these vendor areas and that their guides knew most of the stalls. One drink, alcoholic or non-alcoholic, is included, and the tour can be customized to what your group likes. Tell the operator in advance about any allergies or foods you cannot eat.

Be aware that the route covers about 1.86 miles (3 km) on foot, so it is not a fit for guests with low stamina or limited mobility, and the walk is not wheelchair accessible. Hotel pickup and drop-off are not part of the package, and neither is transport to the meeting point, though it sits near public transportation.
