Jessica took Yvonne and I on a local bar/izakaya/yakitori tour. Because it was raining steadily, we focused on indoor establishments within a short walking distance. Jessica is very familiar with local specialties and introduced us unique items that we were unlikely to discover on our own. She also tailored the menu to our tastes, accomodating my desire to try different types of sake and shochu, as well as Yvonne's desire for various types of seafood and preparations. The establishments themselves catered primarily to local residents, and we did not envounter other tourists. Jessica is fun, a good conversationalist, very knowledgeable about anime and local culture in general, with excellent people skills.
Sena is a lovely professional who knows all the best places to sample great food in Kichijoji. We finished the tour in Inokashira Park, watching the boating on the pond. I worked my way through some of the treats I’d saved but I still had enough left for my evening meal. This is a great introduction to this area and many new delicacies. Along with unique small local shops in the side streets, Sena showed me the bountiful shopping areas within Kichijoji Station. A super place to wander about and enjoy some time in the park.
Carlos was a great tour guide! He was very knowledgeable about Japanese culture and made sure we were “good”tourists in Japan. He was easy to talk to and we had a lot in common. It was like hanging out with a good friend! He gave us great recommendations for the rest of our trip. Highly recommend!
Our group of six was traveling through Japan in search of authentic, local experiences, and our time in Kanazawa with Monse was one of the highlights. She did an incredible job showing us the local scene, with fantastic restaurant picks and insight into the culture. Monse’s energy, warmth, and likable personality made the experience even more memorable. I highly recommend this tour—and especially Monse—to anyone looking to go beyond the typical tourist path. Monse, if you see this, I hope your presentation the next day went great!
