Local experience

The food was absolutely fantastic! Each dish was a delightful representation of Japanese cuisine, with the sushi and sashimi being particular highlights. Haru was an exceptional guide, bringing energy and expertise to the experience. Not only was she fun and engaging, but her deep knowledge of the local food culture truly elevated the tour. It was a wonderfully immersive experience that I’d highly recommend to anyone visiting Japan!
