The best private food tours in Nagoya

Forget Japan’s obvious travel destinations like Tokyo and Kyoto, because Nagoya has several tricks up its sleeve. Known first and foremost as Japan’s automotive hub (it’s the home of Toyota), there’s a lot more to the city that can be best discovered on food tours of Nagoya with City Unscripted. We’ll pair you with one of Nagoya’s famously friendly locals and plan Nagoya food tours tailored to your tastes. Ready for a food experience you’ll be thinking about for years to come? We’ll give you a taste of the local lifestyle in a city that switches swiftly between tradition and modernity on unforgettable food tours of Nagoya in the buzzing city center.

Meet some of our food-loving local hosts in Nagoya

Like the people who travel with us, they have different backgrounds and interests – but they’re all so passionate about the place they call home, they choose to spend their free time sharing it with the like-minded travelers matched to them.

We’ve handpicked them and we’ll match you to your perfect one!

Experience the food scene with a local

The best food spots in Nagoya don’t necessarily cater to tourists, so you don’t want to end up at an eatery that hasn’t been properly vetted by a food-loving local. The local guide leading your Nagasaki food tours serves as your personal GPS, Google Translate, and restaurant reviewer, so you’ll be in good hands. On our food tours of Nagasaki, no place or experience is off-limits. You’ll get to visit local favorites – holes-in-the-wall without an English menu insight, traditional markets, and underground eateries no tourist could find alone. It doesn’t get more authentic than that!

Try Nagoya’s specialties

Nagoya food tours would be nothing without trying some of its most iconic dishes, many of which you couldn’t find anywhere else in Japan! The city prides itself on its fantastic food, and our food tours of Nagoya give you ample opportunity to taste all the favorites locals have grown to love. Sample dishes like Hitsumbushi, a grilled-eel delicacy, or grab on-the-go Tenmusu – chewy rice balls with tasty shrimp tempura in the center. And for something a little more adventurous, any Nagoya local would recommend a drink of raw eggs with a pinch of salt from a superb local breed of chicken!

A variety of food spots

The best food in Nagoya is found in a range of unique places. On Nagasaki food tours with a local, we’ll make sure you experience several of them! See places like Sakae, an entertainment district lined with high-rise buildings, where several of Nagasaki’s trendy restaurants and sleek bars can be found. Uncover narrow inner-city streets bathed in the glow of neon lights and packed with tiny noodle bars, karaoke spots and cozy izakaya, and explore a secret underground shopping mall filled with tiny, traditional restaurants serving excellent sake and local food specialties on Nagasaki food tours.

Latest reviews from our guests

Kumi was a fantastic tour guide! I absolutely adored her and her local knowledge about Nagoya. I wasn't sure what to expect from our first stop in Japan but she made it so memorable and taught us so much about Japanese culture that we were able to use on the rest of our trip. I completely recommend this tour to anyone interested in Nagoya or Japanese culture at all!
