What's included in Hidden Tokyo Bites: Ueno & Ameyoko Street Food Tour
(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Ameyoko Shopping Street
Step into the electric energy of Ameyoko, Tokyo’s liveliest open-air market. Your guide will walk you past colorful fruit stalls, fishmongers shouting specials, quirky snacks, and vintage clothing booths. Locals shop here daily — and it’s the perfect intro to the real flavors of Tokyo before the first bite.
Golden, crispy, and served hot — this is Tokyo-style tempura at its best. Bite into the sweet shrimp or the tender eel for a perfect blend of crunch and umami. A local favorite that tourists rarely find.
A thick, juicy meat patty deep-fried until golden and paired with Japan’s most nostalgic soda. Fun, comforting, and a bit retro — this is your crunchy, fizzy flashback to Japanese street culture.
