Food & drink
'The way to a man's heart is through his stomach', so the old fashioned saying goes. But male, female, gluten free, vegetarian or out-and-out carnivore, this goes for just about every traveller. With our hearts well and truly won over, we've found ourselves in a love affair with Japanese food.
All of our self-guided adventures, small group tours, and fully tailored journeys showcase local fare. For the most fervent of foodies, we've created gastro inspired itineraries that don't leave any breakfast, brunch, elevenses, lunch, afternoon snack or dinner to chance.
There are plenty of opportunities to get stuck in too; with cookery courses abound, you'll be making authentic dishes long after you return home, and whether you're in Hiroshima or Tokyo, local guides will happily take you to hidden gems with the best local dishes.
Those looking for something a little more swish than street food on htheir vacation or holiday won't be disappointed. A meal at one of Japan's many Michelin starred restaurants is just one example of special you can splash out on.
Feeling thirsty after all that? Take part in a sake tasting session with an expert in Tokyo, or, just talk to our guides or consultants who know all the best bars throughout Japan!
