One of the best ways to experience a new city is to eat your way around it. This walking food tour of Shibuya is a foodie’s dream. Meet your guide at a pre-arranged spot near Shibuya station before escaping the usual tourist hot spots. Choose your departure time to suit your schedule.
Avoid overpriced restaurants and instead, go to the side street haunts that locals love. As you hop between eateries, try all sorts of local favorites, such as takoyaki (octopus balls), Wagyu beef yakitori skewers, okonomiyaki (Japanese pancake), and lots of sushi. Wash the delicious food down with shochu (rice liquor) or Japanese beer. For those with a sweet tooth, there’s also dessert to try too.
As well as the side streets, get to see a depachika (underground food hall)—another local favorite. This is a superb way to get a glimpse of Tokyo’s food culture from a local's perspective.
