What a treat! Our tour with John was a superb introduction to Japan&#39;s food culture and etiquette. His enthusiasm and expertise shone through from the moment we met. Taking care to understand our tastes and preferences before we got started John then guided us through some of Tokyo&#39;s finest culinary experiences. A particular highlight was our visit to a tiny bar in Drunkards Alley which only just had room for 6 guests but which offered an authentic Japanese drinking experience with enthusiastic and friendly hosts and fellow drinkers. Many thanks to John for a fab evening. (And John, we managed to buy &quot;7 colour&quot; bento boxes made by the Michelin 3* chef the next day from Tokyo Station, so thanks for the tip on that!). 
A highly recommended experience, especially at the start of our visit to Japan.

Yuichi was such an awesome guide! Being a true Osaka native, he was able to show us some hidden gems as we moved through our scheduled tour, and had such an in-depth knowledge of the area that he was able to explain the things we saw with more detail than the standard information provided by the sites themselves. 
He was also full of jokes and had us in stitches the entire time. His English is fantastic, we had no trouble communicating the entire tour. 
Yuichi also provided food suggestions and pointed out a few additional attractions close by that we were able to stop by and see while we were here. Between all of this, and helping us navigate the subway system and getting us acclimated to moving around the city, he was instrumental in us having such a wonderful time in Osaka. Anyone would be lucky to have him as their guide. Don&#39;t miss out on this opportunity!

We met John on our very first day in Japan, running on groggy jet laggedness and coffee. John’s contagious energy, genuine kindness, and enthusiasm perked us up instantly. 

John guided us through the fish market with confidence, knowing which stalls to visit for the freshest oysters, sweetest tangerine juice, and many other delicious finds. It was a joy to watch him interact with and support the local vendors, from the market stalls to the nearby sushi and wagyu beef spots. His relationships and respect for the community were evident.

One of our favorite moments was when he explained the three different Japanese writing systems, sparking a conversation that our family kept returning to again and again throughout the trip. Also, with a Filipina in our group, we were especially excited to learn about John’s Filipino heritage, making the experience feel even more personal and warm.

Starting our trip with John was the best decision, setting the tone for everything wonderful to come!
