A great tour experiencing Sendai culture and food in "bunka yokocho" and "iroha yokocho"! The area was the first part of Sendai to recover after the war, and because of which, many restaurants still have the same feel it did 60 years ago. You really feel like you're transported to a different realm with more than a hundred shops lining this labyrinthine marketplace. Without a tour guide I would definitely feel overwhelmed. All three restaurants were delicious, my favorite being the first one which served yakitori, or chicken grilled on skewers. The level of tastiness from the chicken was out of this world! I would recommend the heart and breast accompanied with an ice cold beer. The next restaurant was great because it had a nice selection of Japanese sake. The food was also tasty, particularly it's broccoli tempura. The last and final izakaya had the best 'local' experience because we got to talk with the owner and chef, in Japanese called the 'o-kami-san.' she was actually from iwate prefecture and served us a delicious dish of oden, which is a bunch of boiled fishcakes and vegetables. She also served us some specialty Japanese sake from iwate. Extremely fun and satisfying experience. Would do again 10/10.

The flexibility to chose locations that suited our wants and abilities was great. Hiro San was very quick to put together an itinerary that accommodated a family with a stroller-baby (no monkey park due to long unpacked walking paths). Taking in the beautiful temples and view of the Kyoto from the west was breath taking and the guide was able to explain many things we as new Japanese learners could not read or know through cultural knowledge. Overall a great experience, a wonderful and lively guide, and some great memories.
