Walks & Food

Food & Local Walk (3 hours)

Shopping streets, markets, places down side alleys. The ordinary Japan that isn't on the tourist map.

If you have three hours, queueing at a famous place is probably a worse use of them than walking into somewhere locals actually eat. That's the premise.

Japanese-only menus, ticket machines, places with an unspoken ordering ritual. The hard-to-enter places are exactly the ones that open up when someone comes with you.

Note: you pay each venue directly for food and drink. It is not included in the guide fee.
