Personalised & Private Hiroshima Food Tour With A Local Foodie
What your day looks like
Foodies are in for a treat with the lively food culture in Hiroshima! Follow your local guide downtown as you discover hidden gems and traditional dishes. Sample delicious oysters and tuck into a forkful of national identity with ‘Hiroshima Okonomiyaki’ - much like the famed Japanese pancake dish, but this version also contains yakisoba noodles and is fried in mouth-watering layers. Explore onwards to a standing bar where you can tick off local delicacies and craft beer from your list. Wander through the beautiful Shukkeien Japanese gardens for a traditional tea ceremony and the maple-leaf shaped cakes ‘Momiji manjū’ as your dessert. Our handpicked hosts are culinary connoisseurs and history buffs, bakers and bankers, students and seniors. Like the people who travel with us, they have different backgrounds and interests – but they’re all so passionate about the place they call home, they choose to spend their free time sharing it with like-minded travelers matched to them.
