Japan has a large selection of local foods and regional specialties. Each region in Japan is known for a particular dish, whether it be the savory okonomiyaki pancakes of Osaka & Hiroshima or the sweet aroma and tasty castella pound cakes of Nagasaki. By using only the best of the region's local ingredients, each prefecture's dishes represent the region's unique history and flavors.
While some dishes have gained popularity abroad like sushi, there are other dishes you may not know like Hoto noodles, manju, or gohei-mochi that are waiting for you to try. All of our Japan tour packages include regional dishes so you can experience the flavors of Japan like a local during your vacation. We can also arrange a Custom Private Japan Tour with all the best foodie spots west of Tokyo (even add a visit to a Fake Food Factory).
