I loved tasting all the different types of foods! The secret gardens and spots were very beautiful. I also loved that Brooke told the history behind each place we went to.

Fun and tasty tour with plenty of stops to sample delicious food (buns, mochi, octopus balls, custard waffle fish) and even a choose your own deliciousness part at a supermarket. Great personable tour guide, Brooke, as well, she was a pro at handling a large group too. I have been to Little Tokyo and the Arts District before but never knew about a couple of hidden gem spots! Take this tour, you won't regret it!
