Where exactly do I meet the group?

Head to Shinbashi Station and use the Hibiya Exit. The meeting point is the decommissioned steam engine just outside — it is hard to miss and a well-known local landmark.

Do I need to print my ticket?

No. A mobile ticket is accepted, so simply show your confirmation on your phone when you arrive.

Is this tour suitable for vegetarians or people with food allergies?

The set stops include dishes such as oden, yakitori (grilled chicken) and ramen, which are not vegetarian. If you have dietary restrictions or allergies, contact the operator before booking to discuss options.

Why is there an age restriction?

The tour includes an alcoholic drink as part of the experience. Under Japanese law, the legal drinking age is 20, so participation is limited to adults aged 20 and above.

What happens if a restaurant on the itinerary is closed?

The guide will substitute an equivalent stop. Specific venues can change due to restaurant schedules, public holidays, or weather — the food categories and overall experience remain the same.

How much walking is involved?

The tour covers Shinbashi's backstreets on foot between stops, so comfortable shoes are recommended. The terrain is flat urban pavement with no significant inclines.
