    So helpful
    I love listening to you guys and this has been so helpful planning my trip!
  • tokyofoodie
    Thank you!
    I found your podcast after my trip to Japan last May and wished I had found it sooner. You cover a lot of areas and restaurants that weren’t on my radar for the first trip...and some of my favorite spots like Afuri which I had found on Yelp. I have used your podcasts to compile a list for my next trip this March. Thanks for all you do!

    The Japan podcast to listen to
    I have checked out a number of Tokyo and Japan podcasts aNd believe this is the very best one of them all. Some of the others I have listened to have little regard for the interests of the listener. I want to hear tips for visitors and this podcast is full of them, covering great neighborhoods, things to see and do and of course some of the best restaurants to sample. I have listened to every podcast, some episodes multiple times, keep up the great work!
  • Going to Tokyo
    Great work
    Real Tokyo is informative and entertaining. It's a great resource for the traveller to Japan because it includes recommendations to restaurants, gardens etc. Please consider visits to the major museums such as the Mori Art Museum and numerous art galleries that specialize in modern art like Take Ninagawa, Taka Ishii, Misako & Rosen, Nanzuka etc. Also, consider visits to modern architectural sites. Keep going...we love your work!
