東京レストランバス ディナーコース 川崎工場地帯の夜景を観賞!オープントップバスで幻想的な夜景を眺めながらフレンチディナーを満喫<3.5時間/東京駅丸ビル発>

sense of presence 臨場感

Reviewed by: しょうちゃん

The factory lights are filled with a fantastical feeling. Dining while traveling by bus creates a charming atmosphere as the vibrations make the glasses jingle and clink together. The scenery viewed from the bus offers a different perspective, filled with a sense of the extraordinary. Manually opening and closing the roof of the bus adds to the experience. People walking on the road are also overwhelmed by the sight of the bus. It was truly memorable. Restaurant buses are being introduced in cities outside of Tokyo as well, so I would like to try them in other cities too.

工場の灯りが幻想感で溢れている。バスで移動しながらの食事は、振動でグラスが一斉にチリンチリン、カンカン、キンキンと歌い出して、コケティッシュ。バスの中から見る景色も、普段と目線が異なり非日常感一杯。バスの屋根を手動で開け閉めするのも一興。道路を歩いている人もバスの姿に圧倒されている。すごく思い出に残りました。レストランバスは東京以外にも導入されてきているので、ほかの都市でも利用してみたいと思います。

There's a lot of surprises.
The bus has a toilet, so you can enjoy a beer without worry. The toilet is quite small, though.

If you're looking to buy an experience, this might be a good option. 経験を買うならありかな。

Reviewed by: kii

I participated after watching a certain TV program. Even though it was a French full course, the salad that was served was not delicious, and although they mentioned it was made using a unique method, I could only think of it as an unappetizing lettuce salad. The meat and dessert were tasty, but if asked whether I would go again just for this meal, I would probably say no. However, it was an experience that I wouldn't have in my daily life.

某テレビ番組を観て参加させていただきました。フレンチフルコースとはいえ、出てくるサラダが美味しくなく、独特な製法で作られた、、、と言っておられましたが、美味しくないレタスのサラダ、という印象しか持てませんでした。お肉もデザートも美味しくはありましたが、この食事をしにもう一度行くかと言われたら、行かないかな。ただ、日常できない経験ではありました。

A valuable experience 貴重な体験

Reviewed by: パトリシア

I felt like I was taken to places I couldn't go on my own. The food on the bus was delicious, and it was nice that the portions weren't too large. We received detailed explanations about the scenery, and with the roof open, there was a sense of freedom. The views from high up on the highway provided many wonderful experiences, and my friend who accompanied me was also grateful. I didn't realize that the meeting point and the drop-off point were different, so I think it would have been better if that had been emphasized a bit more, especially considering the train schedule for the return trip.

自分ではいけない場所に連れて行ってもらえた気分でした。バスの中のお料理が美味しく、量も多くなくて良かったです。景色について細かい説明をいただいたり、屋根がオープンになって解放感があり、高速道路では高所からの眺めなど、素敵な体験がたくさんできて、同行した友人にも感謝されました。集合場所と解散場所が違っていることに気づいていなかったので、そ戸が違うということは、少し強調していただいた方が良かったかと思いました。帰りの電車の時間もあるので。

Tips and suggestions

The dessert was exceptionally delicious, but it was disappointing that the iced coffee became diluted with ice. There is only one restroom on the bus, so it might be better to use it before boarding o

Tips and suggestions

デザートが抜群美味しかったのですが、アイスコーヒーが氷で薄味になったのが残念でした。トイレはバスに一つなので、乗車前には済ませて置いたり、あまり飲み過ぎないほうが良いかもしれません。

I was able to make a reservation right on my birthday. The kind guide who provided constant assistance on the bus, the waiter who served us with care, the chef who put their heart into the dishes, and the driver who drove safely—all of it was wonderful, and I was extremely satisfied. It was the best birthday ever. Thank you so much♡ I would love to participate again.

Reviewed by: ゆきこ

It was my husband's birthday, but since he doesn't want anything, I decided to give him a wonderful experience as a gift. I live in Tokyo, but it was fun to see Tokyo Tower from a different perspective. The food was also very delicious. It was enjoyable to watch the chef cooking as well. The guide was very attentive and taught us how to take beautiful photos. I would love to participate again during Christmas or cherry blossom season.

旦那の誕生日でしたが、旦那は何も欲しがらないので、素敵な経験をプレゼントしようと参加しました。東京に住んでいるのですが、違う目線から東京タワーが見れて楽しかったです。お料理もとても美味しかったです。シェフがお料理しているところも見れて楽しかったです。ガイドさんも写真が、綺麗に撮れる撮り方を教えてくださりとても丁寧でした。次回はクリスマスや桜の時期などにも参加したいです。

Evening Food Tour of Golden Gai in Shinjuku

Night of fun and great food

Reviewed by: Erinl

We had a wonderful introduction to the Golden Gai and tried food items we would have never thought to...our guide was interesting and fun...she shared the history of the area, interesting details of life in Tokyo, and took us to cool places we would have been too intimidated to go into on our own. I HIGHLY recommend booking a tour!

I've been on these tour twice now, and both times have being with a non-japanese guide. But they definitely know their stuff and it's a mix of Japanese culture and food. Very worth a 1000 yen. You even get a gift at the end :-)

Tokyo Food Tour in Harajuku & Omotesando with Kawaii Cute Culture and Sweets

Great for foodies

Reviewed by: Jas

I only knew Harajuku for the gothic-lolita kawaii fashion so it was very interesting to see the back alleys and food places I normally don't see in guidebooks. We got to sample a lot of regional specialities and lots of desserts (my favorite!) Our friendly guide was super knowledgeable and was flexible to cater to our entire group. But be prepared to swim through the crowd and possibly wait on lines for some of the treats.

Tour for the Tummy

Reviewed by: Open Sesame

Our guide Asami did a great job taking us to places with great eats! She made sure to give us background info about the places we were visiting and even explained Japanese customs and table manners. She also accommodated personal requests (getting specific souvenirs, etc.) which made the tour feel more intimate.

I did expect this tour to feature more Instagrammable food, but it wasn't so much the case. Nonetheless, everything we ate was good. I especially loved the sesame ice cream!

Evening Food Tour of Golden Gai in Shinjuku

Evening Food Tour Golden Gai Shinjuku

Reviewed by: B and L, Australia

We had a highly enjoyable experience on the evening food tour Golden Gai Shinjuku. Our guide Norma was excellent. She chose some great food destinations and was very helpful in explaining Japanese food etiquette and culture. In between eating, Norma guided us around Shinjuku, which is a must see destination if you come to Tokyo. She was very knowledgeable and gave us a great download on the activities and history of the Shinjuku area. Towards, the end of the tour we went to the Golden Gai area, which is quite fascinating for tourists.

We dont write alot of reviews, but would highly recommend this tour, and in particular, we felt quite fortunate that our guide was Norma, as she was really very committed to ensuring that the group was enjoying both the tour and the food experience.

This little walking tour of some of the famous and historical food stores whose history date from the Edo period was quite delightful and very good value.
The two kimono clad young guides provided us with an excellent commentary in English as well as with samples of the various foods.
I recommend this tour to anyone interested in Japanese food. The Nihonbashi area of Tokyo is a must to visit too!

1時間半で日本の食文化の特徴をいくつか掴むことができる

Reviewed by: Naomi

・初来日の外国人家族と参加。日本の文化の基本というか共通項を見てもらえると期待して申し込む。
・嗜好の違いか、羊羹や昆布は「濃い」(煮詰まっている、甘すぎるといった感じ)というコメント、出汁はこわごわでしたが美味しいとも。日本文化や日本食はある程度海外でも認知度が高いと想定していたが、全く知らない人にはちょっと刺激が強いかも。
・日本の地形や風土が地方によって違うことを知らない場合、県やエリアのことを言われても、何かすごく違いがあるのかわからないので伝わりづらいと感じた。
・終わった後に「短時間で一応いろんなことを学んだ(気がする)。いいツアーだ」と感想を言っていたので良かった。別の家族が来たらまた案内したい。
・スペイン語も対応してくれると嬉しい

The guide was nice and friendly. Although not a good tour! We could have easily done the tour ourselves. No information was given about the area, history etc. He would just point and say the name of the building or pointed out fast food places as the "food" part of the tour.
