    What you'll see and do

    1. Omoide Yokocho

      Omoide Yokocho, a maze of narrow alleys close to the West Exit of Shinjuku Station, stands in stark contrast to all the bright and clean modern environs of the station. Tiny restaurants and open barbecue food stalls spill their smoke, noise and greasy steam over alleys hardly wide enough to stretch out your arms.

      Pass by without stopping

    2. Kabukicho

      Kabukicho is an area of leisure and pleasure like no other, a kind of red light district. Vast citadel of the party and vice, in this neighborhood you will find plenty of restaurants, bars and nightclubs.

    Hidden Gems of Shinjuku

    Our guide Yuki was incredibly knowledgeable about Japanese food culture. The sushi restaurant was a small, authentic place I would've never found on my own. Each piece of sushi was expertly crafted - much better than what I've had back home. Great value for the quality of food and experience!

    incredible experience

    Was one of the most memorable experiences in Tokyo. Natsuki was a super friendly guide and knowledgeable about the history of the area. He showed several places that were not too famous among tourists. The food we had was superb, especially wagyu yakiniku. I strongly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to explore hidden gems in Shinjuku.

    Great Culture and Food Tour!

    My wife and I had a nice tour with Miharu. She took us two locations, Sushi with Sake and the Wagyu with Whiskey Soda. Both locations were quant and authentic. Along the way she pointed out landmarks, explained the culture and history, and even made sure we saw the Godzilla show at 8pm. During dinner we discussed Japan culture and customs which was very educational. A lot of fun. Certainly recommend.

    Wagyu and Sushi : Tokyo Gastronomic Journey: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tokyo.

    How much does Wagyu and Sushi : Tokyo Gastronomic Journey cost?

    +

    Prices start at $155 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Tokyo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Wagyu and Sushi : Tokyo Gastronomic Journey take?

    +

    Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Tokyo is not rushed.

    Is Wagyu and Sushi : Tokyo Gastronomic Journey worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 12 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Tokyo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Wagyu and Sushi : Tokyo Gastronomic Journey?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Wagyu and Sushi : Tokyo Gastronomic Journey suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Wagyu and Sushi : Tokyo Gastronomic Journey?

    +

    Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Tokyo can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Tokyo and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Wagyu and Sushi : Tokyo Gastronomic Journey start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Tokyo within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Tokyo?

    +

    Tokyo is less a city than a stack of neighborhoods with completely different opening hours. A guided food crawl through Shinjuku's Omoide Yokocho gets you past the no-tourist curtains, while the day trips west to Hakone and Fuji need an early start to be worth the fare. Our ranking weighs guide quality heavily here, because in Tokyo the guide is the product. On Outty we rank every Tokyo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Best of Shinjuku: Izakaya Food Tour (3-4 Stops, 14+ Tastings), Matcha Making Class in Tokyo with Authentic Japanese Sweets Set, Tokyo: Asakusa Senso-ji Temple & Old Town Walking Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Tokyo?

    +

    Late March to May for blossom, October to November for clear Fuji views. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Tokyo?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Wagyu and Sushi : Tokyo Gastronomic Journey?

    +

    Included: Dinner; Photos; Alcoholic beverages; and Local Guide. Not included: Transportation costs(200yen~800yen); and Hotel pickup and drop-off. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Wagyu and Sushi : Tokyo Gastronomic Journey?

    +

    The meeting point is just in front of "the 3rd Burger." Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Wagyu and Sushi : Tokyo Gastronomic Journey offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Wagyu and Sushi : Tokyo Gastronomic Journey?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Wagyu and Sushi : Tokyo Gastronomic Journey wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Wagyu and Sushi : Tokyo Gastronomic Journey if the weather is bad?
