Your luxury Japan culinary tour first begins in Tokyo, Japan’s capital and wellspring of pop and imperial culture.
To start your Tokyo food tour, head to Kappabashi, or Kitchen Town, to browse the shops of kitchen supplies. Then visit a depachika, an excessive underground food basement, to taste both traditional and outrageous delicacies.
To round out your best food tours of Tokyo, you will also enjoy a private sushi lesson with one of Tokyo’s best sushi chefs. Finally, experience a private tour of one of the area’s high-volume soy sauce factories, one of the best food tours in Japan.
Next, board a bullet train to Kyoto, one of the world’s most culturally rich cities. Of course, you will experience plenty of sightseeing alongside your private Japan tour guide. This includes the Golden Pavilion, the Tenryuji Temple, and the unified wooden cityscape panorama of the Kiyomizudera Temple.
Your Kyoto food tour finally kicks off with your visit to a sake brewery shop. Enjoy a private sushi and tempura cooking lesson at a local Kyoto home. Then, at one of the city’s private temples, experience a special tea ceremony and walk through its gardens.
After a day trip to Nara, travel to the final stop on your Japan culinary tour and one of the world’s foremost foodie havens, Osaka.
Indeed, Osaka promises some of the best food tours in Japan. Its reputation rests on its access to quality ingredients and gastronomic specialties. You will see this specifically at the Kuromon-Ichiba Market (“Osaka’s Kitchen”) and Dotonbori, the city’s main culinary corridor along the canal.
On an Osaka food tour, experience these highlights and taste a local okonomiyaki delicacy for lunch. Then head to nearby Kobe for a stroll around the town’s compact Nankinmachi Chinatown and a taste of some of the delicious beef for which this town is famous.
