The Highlight of our Japan Trip! - It was awesome! Our hosts, Joe, Rina, and Shota were all warm, fun, and accommodating. They brought us to an izakaya, then to a karaoke bar that we practically had all to ourselves before topping the night off with some delicious ramen.
My family (a mix of ages 22-60) had an incredible time. So much fun! Would definitely recommend if you’re interested in experiencing Japan’s drinking culture.

Excellent experience - The places are so awesome and so out of the way we would have never found these places on our own. The tips about Japan from the guide was especially good!!

with my friend from abroad - I participated with my friend traveling from abroad, and she said she had a great time interacting with Japanese. Personally, I don’t usually go to restaurants with the kind of atmosphere you took me to, so it was new experience and helped me. Thank you very much.

Great night in Ikebukuro with super guides - I've been to Tokyo a few times before, but this time I booked a tour in the Ikebukuro area, which I was really interested in. The meeting point was super easy to find, which gave me a great sense of relief. Our tour guide was a true local who knew Ikebukuro inside out. Despite having been to Ikebukuro a few times before, this tour took me to places and shared insider info that only locals know. The guide's explanations were super clear and friendly. I'd recommend this tour to first-time Tokyo visitors as well as those who've been here before but want to experience it more like a local. When I visit Tokyo again, I'll definitely be booking their tour again! Can't wait! Thank you so much!

Awesome tour by the local guides, worth every penny - Awesome tour by the friendly local guides. Was able to experience the local izakaya (Japanese style bar that serves inexpensive dishes that go well with drinks) in Ikebukuro. The guides were very friendly and gave us a good time explaining each dishes, the area and Japanese traditions. They gave us recommendations for other local places to visit based on our interest. I recommend this tour to anyone who wants to invest in a more local adventure in Tokyo.
