Best Authentic Osaka Food Tour
Osaka is a town of food and fun! Kentaro with Arigato Travel chose the best examples of both in old Osaka. We sampled traditional Osakan sweets, drinks, sushi and skewers all whilst Kentaro explained history, etiquette, culture and local lore. We visited a hidden Shinto shrine, an authentic blade manufacturer and took part in the carnival atmosphere which is Shinsekai in southern Osaka. With a zest for life and fun, Kentaro was the perfect guide.

Cozy Food & Atmosphere
Even thought this was in a super busy area, the route picked by Melissa avoided the crowds and allowed us to get to know the little alleys and hidden gems in busy Dotonbori. As someone who’s been to Osaka many times before, this tour changed my perspective on a lot of things about the city and the touristy areas. Im grateful for Melissa for guiding us with so much passion and joy. It was memorable! Thank you!

Harajuku food tour was amazing
The tour was excellent and we would highly recommend. All of the food options were different and things that we would not have tried or found on our own. Melody was our guide and she shared so much information with us about the area, food and interesting fun facts about Japan and the lifestyle.

Well worth it 👍
We really enjoyed the variety of food and sights on this tour. Guiding is so beneficial when you are in a city you are not familiar with. In three hours we saw and tasted things that we may not have found in a week of searching. Our guide Ami was fantastic too. Would highly recommend.

Wonderful and Informative Matcha Kyoto Green Tea Tour with Excellent Guides
My husband and I had a wonderful tour with Atsuko and her colleague who introduced us to the culture, history, and cuisine of Matcha, Green Tea in Kyoto. The tour was well organized and we were a small group so we did quite a lot in our 3 hours tour in Uji: we visited a historic tea house and met the owner, whose family has been making Matcha for generations. In addition we had a delicious local lunch; made our own Matcha; viewed the tea fields and also saw the grounds of Byodoin Temple, which is a UNESCO World Heritage site. Personal, informative, and fun, this tour was well worth the cost. I highly recommend it and would do it again in a heartbeat.

Good food, great experience!
Wonderful food, and a knowledgable and friendly guide. Vasilli made us comfortable and showed us things that I know we would never have found on our own. Lovely experience

Arigato's classic Tsukiji food tour - a great and safe way to experience Japanese market food
This was my fourth group experience with Arigato Japan Food Tours, and it hit the mark. Even during last October's busy fall season, they managed a perfect, well timed walking and tasting experience at the Tsukiji central market for our large group of 15. They divided us into 3 small groups to make it more manageable. Lauren Shannon, one of the owners, was not with us this time, but the guides she selected were knowledgeable, organized, flexible, and fun to be with. They knew the oldest families in the market so it made it more personable to taste fresh tuna from a family that's been in the wholesale fish business since the 1850's. We had a variety of tastings, and some offerings were cooked. This tour is one of the highlights of Tokyo if you want to plunge into Japanese traditional food.

Great Experience with Francois
We did the private version of this tour with Francois. The tour was great and so was Francois. We especially enjoyed the sushi - best I've ever had! There was also chicken wings with a pepper dusting which were so good that we went back a second time. The places we visited were restaurants we would never have found on our own!

Fun with Wesley
We had a great time with Wesley! He customized our stops for our group and accommodated some dietary restrictions. We learned a lot about Japanese customs and Shibuya. He even took us to the train station and helped us get our train cards and rode the train back with us to where we were staying. The chicken wings and yakisoba were our favorite dishes.

Fun and filling food tour
Russ was fun, funny, entertaining, and informative on our food tour of the Pontocho neighborhood in Kyoto. He took us to at least 8 places to eat in this energetic, crowded, cool neighborhood. We had fried food, ramen, chicken, and sweets. More than enough food for dinner, and a couple of drinks. I was solo but enjoyed hanging with a couple from Ireland and a family from California. Russ even sent us home with several nicely wrapped desserts treats. Thanks, Russ!

Great mix of food & history
We did the Tokyo Original Underground Tour in Tokyo with Josh and loved it! He was a wonderful tour guide that was very informative and genuinely seemed to enjoy passing along history about Japan culture and history. The food stops were picked well & a had good variety. It really helped us branch out and explore different parts of Tokyo we probably wouldn't have before. Definitely recommend - we hope to try another tour in the future.

Food tour with Yoshi was 10 out of 10
YOSHI!!! Yoshi was our tour guide, and he was absolutely the best—highly recommend! His knowledge, enthusiasm, and storytelling made the tour both informative and fun. The history and fun facts he shared helped us truly understand the city, its people, and how everything connects. The tout took us to parts of the city we never would have discovered on our own. Thank you, Yoshi, for such a memorable and enriching experience—we learned so much and enjoyed every moment.

Jane is the best tour guide!
Jane did an amazing job! My husband and I came to Tokyo before and felt like we had so many of the go to foods, but Jane surprised us with places and food we have yet to try which was a nice change up. Highly recommend!

Tsukiji food tour
Jane was an absolute amazing guide. She provided a unique experience all the while weaving in the history of the land and the local spots that we visited. And the food that we ate was absolutely delicious. Can’t wait to go back and experience it all again.
