What travelers think of our Tokyo experiences
What you’ll do
You’ll eat your way around Tokyo, a central district known for its inclusivity and crazy atmosphere. It also happens to be where chefs from all over Japan come to make a name for themselves, which means that there are more sushi joints here than spines on a sea urchin. With so many restaurants to choose try, from high-end boutique eateries to locals-only streetside vendors, a translator, aka your Japanese-speaking host, is essential!
From ordering sashimi on an iPad and having it delivered by train at a conveyor belt sushi joint to heading underground to a depachika (department store basement food hall), your host will reveal the places where Tokyoites grab their sushi - you’ll soon see there’s not an English menu in sight.
