    Finally, we are arriving at the restaurant. Isn't it boring to be trapped at every touristy area? We get you covered. Most of the real restaurants are hidden in the lively streets. They are so shy to foreiners and don't even have English menues. However, your guide knows Japanese and what's to be oredered there. We excluded food fee from the tour price so you can choose what/how much you want to eat.
