★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 2 reviews · 4 hours · from $62 per person

Meet at Daimon Station for a four-hour private tour led in English. Make miso with 150-year-old shop rice koji, shape Tokyo-grown rice onigiri, taste five amazake drinks, visit Kōdōin for matcha, ride a rickshaw near Tokyo Tower, and sample sake at Minato Shuzo. Guide Konomi is one of the English-speaking guides associated with this experience.

“Konomi was a fantastic guide who was knowledgable, approachable and spoke perfect English. The Miso making/Sake tasting/triangle rice making was very interactive. Shortly after we got a tour of the Mita Tower area on the human pulled rickshaw which looked like hard work but was very comfortable for us. We felt like king and queen. The tea ceremony was very authentic but also friendly. We enjoyed our fun filled day. As someone who is often critical of the value for money of tours, I'd say this package offers good value for money.”
