    Delicious local food in the outskirts

    This is a place I rarely see foreigners
    They offer the best curry rice (Japanese style) I’ve ever had. My recommendation is the Tonkatsu curry with cheese and eggplant toppings. Just amazing

Review Friend: Mariana

Tell us, how was your experience with this friend.

Write about your own experiences guiding as a Local Friend. You can write these on your own voice, relating the unique experiences you were able to give who was traveling with you. Example: "Last week, I guided a traveler from Spain who wanted to experience the city beyond the main attractions. We started with a quiet morning at a small coffee shop only locals know, then wandered through a street art alley where I could share the stories behind each mural. They told me it was their favorite part of the trip because it felt like discovering a secret side of the city, one they would have never found alone."
