Local Food Experiences

"No wonder the United Nation's added traditional Japanese food to its Intangible Cultural Heritage list"

One of the highlights of any “Two Streets Back” tour is to taste real, home-made Japanese food. Be prepared for the freshest ingredients. Fish, chicken, pork, rice, miso soup, tofu and vegetables are at the heart of many meals. It is not all raw fish, but sashimi will be offered, and is really worth trying.

In Japan, food is the best way to engage with local lifestyles and to gain an in-depth experience of regional culture, the daily life of Japanese communities, and individual inhabitants. Our tours take you on a gastronomic journey to meet Japan and its people through cherished culinary traditions.

All of our small group tours offer delicious Japanese and/or Western style breakfasts, dinners, and most lunches, ensuring our guests get the most out of their carefree culinary journey.
