Toyama boasts a charm that is truly one of a kind. What makes this area so special is the perfect combination of mountains and ocean, located so close to one another, and the way in which the produce from this region is harnessed to create a cuisine that is truly unique. As you journey from the northern coastline and further south into the mountains, you will discover a subtle yet distinct shift in the flavors of the region's cuisine and sake – a testament to the rich and diverse ingredients that come from Toyama's natural environment. Toyama is truly a feast for the senses, offering a gastronomic adventure that is as unforgettable as the landscape itself.

The tours that we offer change year to year. One year might be Niigata and/or Akita, the next could be Wakayama, Kyushu and Okayama.

Where we decide to go depends on the amount of interest we have in certain tours.

We are constantly curating new tours and experiences for our guests - many of who return year after year. The tours below are itineraries that we have offered in the past. Whilst we try and offer experiences as close to what we have shown here, sometimes things change, places close and people move on.
