Overview
All food & selected drinks are included in the price!
This tour starts at 4:00pm for a reason. As the sun sets, Ameyoko transforms. The daytime market winds down while standing bars, seafood restaurants and izakayas come alive with locals finishing work and catching up over a drink. This is when the neighbourhood is at its best
Every venue has been personally selected for its quality, authenticity & value.
Rather than following trends or tourist hotspots, we've built this tour around places we'd happily take our own friends & family
Over four relaxed hours, we'll visit around nine stops, tasting everything from Japanese fruits and sashimi, to fresh oysters, takoyaki, tempura, izakaya favourites and traditional Japanese dessert.
We'll also step away from the market to visit a peaceful temple, learning about Japanese culture, Buddhism & Shinto before diving back into the energy of Ameyoko.
Come hungry, you'll leave full and with a genuine appreciation for Japanese food & culture!
