Reviews for Arigato Travel / Arigato Japan Food Tours

Excellent Guide

Our guide, Akiko, was excellent. She was very personable and knowledgeable. Akiko was very accommodating when we said there was something we wanted to try or wanted to avoid. All around excellent tour guide and worthwhile experience.

Great street food tour in Osaka!

Great tour! Made multiple stops and tried amazing street food. Our guide, Natsumi, was wonderful and very knowledgeable. She introduced us to food at multiple stops and explained the origins of them. We loved it all and having Natsumi leading us made it all so simple. Thanks!!

Tour and guide were fantastic

The food was wonderful, and the tour guide Vasilii was incredible. Very knowledgeable not only of the food, but of Tokyo as a whole. You can tell he really enjoys the city and especially letting people know how great it is there. Can't recommend him or the tour highly enough

Teenagers and kids will love this!

We had so much fun! My kids were being entertained by our guide, Daniel, and he even got the 10 year-old to try sushi (he ate four pieces!) Our teenagers were so entertained and laughed all night while trying new foods and learning a lot about food customs. The parents got a special treat too. Our guide-in-training, Alex, was able to spend quality time answering all on our questions so we felt like we really had a special time as well.

Aleef rocks!

Aleef Daniel was an incredible tour guide! He shared with us his favorite local Hiroshima cuisines (okonomiyaki was our favorite) and was very knowledgable about the foods and the area. He was nice and very easy to get along with, from start to finish. We had an incredible time and would do this tour again!

I took this tour in 2019 and was excited to go back with my wife and daughter. Although the tour guide was very friendly and engaging, we found the choice of restaurants to be underwhelming. It felt like we didn’t really get the value for the cost. Previous food tours in other cities left us excited, wasn’t the same outcome with this food tour. They should reconsider restaurant choices, as we wouldn’t visit any of those restaurants.

Amazing Experience

We booked a three-hour experience and were fortunate to have Rai as our guide. Despite the rain, he brought us to four fantastic spots, each unique and memorable. He even stayed an extra hour so we could complete the full tour. I would recommend it to anyone visiting.

Great food tour

We had a food tour led by Saika. The tour was informative and fun, and the food was delicious. Saika took the time to teach us about Japanese culture, and took us to a variety of great food spots. Would highly recommend this tour.

Must do!

We had such a wonderful time with Saika on our food tour! We had lots of great food, drinks, and got to see all the sites of Shibuya that we would not have experienced on our own. Thank you Saika for making our first day in Tokyo so fun and memorable!

Amazing way to authentically visit Harajuku

Our guide was very knowledgeable and super accommodating. She was also super patient with my overly chatty children! The food stops were well spaced, had local vibes, and were a great variety of savory/sweet. I’ve been on food walking tours all over the world and this was one of the better ones I’ve gone on.

Fishmarket Tour (Tokyo)

Makkiko was a wonderful guide. She was not only warm and welcoming, but also knew the area very well. We ate our way through the fish market with her. She is the best!

A great food tour ****Ray! Thank you for a wonderful dining experience!***

A wonderful experience! Our tour started on time. A perfect meeting location. The summary provided on Trip Advisor is 100% accurate. You will visit several wonderful small eateries with menus from across Japan as well as learn about Japanese dining customs & practices. My only wish is that we had this tour at the beginning of our trip. Ray, our guide-extordinare was just perfect! His love & passion for his adopted country made the evening very special. The pace was just right & the restaurant choices were wonderful. Ray is very knowledgeable, friendly & professional. A delightful genuine person. His assistant Maria was charming and had much to share & contribute. Please make sure to have a good appetite! No snacking before hand! :-)

Jane was awsome

Jane was amazing. We took a three hour tour with her of the fish market and learned so much. Jane did a great job of sharing the culture and the the hidden gems of the market. She also listened to the guests and made sure she catered to what we wanted to get out of it.

Find some hidden gems!

Meeca was a fantastic tour guide. She was very knowledgeable and took us to many hidden gems that we would never have found on our own. There were several cool little activities for our 7 year old daughter mixed into the tour and she really felt a part of it.

Delicious Food Tour at Kyoto's Nishiki Market

We did a food tour of Nishiki market in Kyoto. Ana was our guide. It was an amazing experience. She explained the history of the market, the food and shared interesting Kyoto/Japan facts with us. She accomodated our tastes and we felt very comfortable passing on octopus w quail egg. Highlights included beef curry bread, yuzu honey hot drink, gluten bread, cake that looked like a fish w chocolate cream insife, different types of furikake, sesame specialty store, obanzai restaurant for lunch, soy milk donuts, 7 spice ice cream and more. Lots of snacks plus sit down lunch were included in the tour ticket price. Ana is from Portugal. She speaks English, Japanese and Portugese. She's delightful. We got lucky. Only the two of us on the tour bc it's February, not busy.
