Tokyo Ueno Bar-Hopping Tour: Savor Sake & Street Food Like a Local

Hiro was the best guide! He waited for us despite us being very late. Hiro showed us a side of Tokyo we could have never found by ourselves. It was an amazing tour he was so knowledgeable and truly and expert guide. We learned so much and had an amazing time. I hope we get to meet Hiro again one day!!!

We had a really enjoyable evening with Hiro in Ueno. He was great company, very knowledgeable and informative. His local knowledge took us to several really good Izakaya over the course of the evening and his food and Sake recommendations were excellent. I particularly liked the Takoyaki (octopus balls) and would never have thought to order them unless he had suggested it.

Our group had the pleasure of touring Ueno in Tokyo with Hiroaki Morita, and the experience was exceptional in every way. Hiro-san proved to be an outstanding guide—knowledgeable, thoughtful, and genuinely passionate about sharing the history and culture of the area. His deep understanding of the historic town of Ueno brought every location to life. We learned fascinating details about the neighborhood’s past, its temples, parks, and cultural landmarks, all presented in a way that was engaging and easy to appreciate. It was clear that Hiro-san takes great pride in his work and cares deeply about providing a meaningful experience for his guests. Beyond his expertise, Hiro-san’s kindness and attentiveness truly stood out. He was caring, patient, and consistently made sure everyone in our group was comfortable and enjoying the day. As an unexpected bonus, Hiro-san also turned out to be an excellent photographer. He took beautiful, professional-quality photos of our group throughout the tour—pictures we will treasure for years to come. The most remarkable moment came when my wife realized she had misplaced her iPhone. Hiro-san immediately sprang into action. He calmly called several of the establishments we had visited earlier, tracked down the phone, and personally retrieved it for us. This level of dedication and kindness went far beyond what we would normally expect from a tour guide. Hiroaki Morita provided an unforgettable experience—professional, knowledgeable, compassionate, and truly committed to his guests. I cannot recommend this tour and this guide highly enough. Anyone visiting Tokyo would be fortunate to explore Ueno with Hiro-san.

This a a great experience! Absolutely seamless. Hiroaki Is delightful. He loves this area and knows all the hidden spots. If you want a true local experience, this is the tour and guide for you.
