Japanese foods introduction tour

Kyoto
3 hours

Fabulous intro to Japanese food with Hero!

We (family of 6, 3 generations from Australia) arrived in Kyoto this morning and basically headed straight out on a food tour with Hero. Having never been to Japan we wanted someone who could help us navigate the markets and restaurants and introduce us to Japanese food and culture. Hero did all that and more. Despite having next to no sleep Hero made us all forget how tired we were and kept us engaged with interesting facts about the area and history and of course trying many delicious Japanese dishes. We had such a great time and I’m so glad I booked Hero. He was so good with our 7 yr old son too, who was really disappointed when it was time to say goodbye! Thank you again Hero and if we are ever in Kyoto again we will definitely book you again!

Great experience

May thanks to Hero for the great tour. He tried to incorporate all our ideas and wishes to make the most of this tour. We have seen a lot of Kyoto and he also explained a lot and answered our questions. He felt more as a friend than a tourguide. Andrea

Felt like time with an old friend

I didn't want a planned day, I wanted to explore and experience. Hiro made sure we had a full day of just that. It was like running around town with an old friend. We saw the sights, ate delicious food and enjoyed Hiro's company. He created the perfect day for us and give us suggestions for the rest of our trip. Thank you for a memorable day!

Irene M.

Thank you very much for hiring me that night!! It was fun to explore Kyoto with 2 of you. Also, thank you for treating me with many shots of Sake and meals!! I hope to see you someday in U.S.

Do you know "yuba"? It is very healthy Japanese food. Yuba is soy milk skin and you can taste "yuba kaiseki" at an old yuba restaurant. After enjoying the healthy cuisine, you can also enjoy watching the yuba factory!! Near the restaurant, there is an old temple, Toji and its branch temple, Kanchiin Temple. I'm sure you will have a wonderful and rare experience in Kyoto!!

Kyoto is an ancient city, which used to like be the capital of Japan for 1000 years. There are about 1600 temples and 400 shrines and beautiful gardens. It also has a lot of traditional crafts,such as kimono, fans, Japanese artistic sweets. There are a lot of things to do and experience. First of all I will take you to Gion area.I will take you to Yasaka Shrine and Kenninji Temple. Then let's move to the Nishiki market. and have sushi lunch in the market. Gion is the area of entertainment, where there are many bars and taverns. Some important business and political talks have been conducted. You may run across Maiko and Geiko, Japanese entertainers in kimono. If you want to wear Japanese costume in Gion, I can arrange with extra charge. NIshiki market is the kitchen of the Kyoro, where local people buy their everyday food. Fish stores, vegetable stores, pickles stores and so on. A friend of mine owns a Yuba shop in the market. Yuba is vegan, dairy-free ,gluten free,preserve-free, additive-free and protein rich. You can see the yuba making process.
