Private Tokyo Local Street Food Tour: Choose 7 Foods & 1 Drink
Description
Discover a different side of Tokyo on a private local street food tour made for your group only. Instead of following a fixed menu, choose 7 bites and 1 drink from our carefully curated lineup of about 15 food items, all tasted and tested many times by our team. We will take you to small neighborhood shops and shopping streets with few tourists, where we have built friendly relationships with local owners. Depending on your taste, you may try gold-medal fried chicken, Japanese-style yakitori from a shop celebrating its 100th anniversary, traditional sweets from a confectionery connected to Meiji Shrine offerings, or street food from a place once visited by former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. Your guide helps you choose, order, and understand what you are eating, so you can enjoy real local interaction, not just sightseeing. If you like, we can also include a peaceful, unique local shrine stop to end the tour in a calm atmosphere. Let's enjoy Legit local street foods

Itinerary
The tour starts at Musashikoyama Shopping Street. First, using the travel guidebook provided beforehand, you'll choose two menu items you like. Our first stop is a long-established yakitori shop founded in 1926, celebrating its 100th anniversary this year. Its signature style lets you enjoy the skewers by applying the sauce yourself. Savor the freshly grilled chicken while soaking in the bustling atmosphere of the shopping street. (If you'd like, you can even take some uniquely Japanese purikura photos. )
Next, we move to the Togoshi Ginza Shopping Street. Renowned as a quintessential local shopping street, Togoshi Ginza is packed with eateries perfect for street food and old-fashioned independent shops. It's overflowing with unique shops like “Kei,” whose fried chicken won a gold prize; “Aoyagi,” which offers traditional sweets at Meiji Shrine; and shops even former Prime Minister Abe has visited.
At the end of the tour, we’ll stop by Togoshi Hachiman Shrine, a local shrine that has been loved by the community for generations. It’s just a short walk from the lively shopping street, and because it’s less touristy, you can enjoy a calm, local atmosphere that feels a little different from other shrines. It’s a peaceful spot to take a breath and wrap up the tour.
