About

Food is one of the best ways to connect kids to a new culture — and Food Tours Tokyo has figured out exactly how to make that happen. With a perfect 5.0 rating from 70 Google reviews and a base in Dogenzaka, Shibuya, they run small-group guided food tours through some of Tokyo's most exciting culinary neighborhoods.

For families, a guided food tour removes the anxiety of not knowing what to order or where to eat. Your guide handles the local knowledge, translates menus, and introduces your kids to Japanese food culture one delicious stop at a time. Expect to try things like fresh taiyaki (fish-shaped pastry), handcrafted ramen, takoyaki (octopus balls), and other Tokyo staples that your kids will talk about for the rest of the trip.

Tours run Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 5 PM. This is best for families with kids aged 6 and up who are adventurous enough to try new foods. Younger children or very picky eaters may find the variety challenging, but most kids are pleasantly surprised by how much they enjoy Japanese street food when it's presented with context and excitement.

Tips to Save
