[1 Group Only] Explore Tokyo Ginza Food Tour for Family

About this tour

A private three-hour food tour through Ginza's back alleys and neighbourhood haunts, reserved for your group alone. You'll cook two traditional Japanese dishes—okonomi-yaki or monja-yaki—alongside a local guide, then taste them with a drink of your choice. Rather than polished tourist spots, you'll discover where salarymen unwind and locals actually eat, with a photographer capturing the experience.

Highlights

• Cook traditional Japanese pancakes with hands-on instruction
• Access hidden salaryman drinking alleys and neighbourhood joints
• Private group experience with no other tourists joining
• Professional photos included throughout the tour
• One complimentary drink of your choice at a local bar

What to expect

Your guide meets you in Ginza and steers you away from the department stores toward residential backstreets most visitors never find. You'll stop at a casual restaurant where you'll actually prepare okonomi-yaki or monja-yaki—layered savoury pancakes cooked on a teppan—learning technique from staff as you go. After eating what you've made, you'll head to a neighbourhood izakaya or drinking spot where locals gather after work, order your included drink, and soak in everyday Tokyo life rather than staged authenticity.

Good to know

The tour involves standing and walking through narrow alleys; public transport is nearby if you need it. Venues are wheelchair accessible. Bring an appetite—the cooking experience is practical, not demonstration-only. Additional food and drinks beyond the two dishes and one drink are charged separately.
