Food & Culinary Tours & Trips in Japan

What if your Japan trip was all about the food? You'll learn proper soba making, taste whiskeys in little bars, eat what sumo wrestlers eat (it's called chanko-nabe), master Hiroshima's okonomiyaki, watch a geisha perform in Kyoto, visit Himeji's white castle, explore Miyajima Island, and hit Tokyo's food scene hard. Come hungry, leave understanding why people obsess over Japanese food.
