Reviews for Arigato Travel / Arigato Japan Food Tours

The best day out!

We had an incredible time exploring Yanaka with Jacob. We learnt to much about the area and the food. The tea ceremony was an absolute highlight! We’ll never forget the amazing hospitality of everyone we met on the tour. Thank you for making our honeymoon trip so special! A brilliant tour!

Excellent street food tour with some fun activities thrown in. Natsumi our guide was very knowledgeable.

The street food tour of Shinsekai was a good introduction to some Osaka’s street food. Particularly liked the octopus. Natsumi was a very likeable and interesting guide. She was knowledgeable and picked some great places to visit.

Great guide, tons of food — come hungry!

Jane was our guide, she wasso kind and knowledgeable. Only thing i regret, there was so much food and I couldn’t finish all. So, if you’re taking afternoon tour, i guess better to have a light lunch so that you are not full.

Excellent experience

Really excellent experience with a very good tour guide, Mickey. She went out of her way to make everything great for us. Not only did we eat delicious food along the way but we got a brilliant insiders view of the city and some corners which we simply would not have found ourselves. Highly recommend it.

Overall good experience

The travel guide was very friendly, and the explanations on the different types of native foods and their origins were clear. I also got to practice a bit of Japanese and using chopsticks. Aside from the tour, I got to take part in amusement games such as throwing ninja stars, archery, and shooting.

Super leuke informatieve tour

Een ontzettend leuke informatieve foodtour. Onze gids Ully kon ontzettend veel vertellen over het eten, de wijk en de gewoontes. Zeer afwisselend en je komt op plekjes die je anders niet zou ontdekken.

Good food tour in Osaka

We spent one day in Osaka, and ended with the food tour. Very good tour, with lots of interesting stops, including a knife store, and a Shinto shrine, as well as fun food. We were three people, ages 78, 82, and 20. We all enjoyed it.

Fun Day in Uji

The matcha tour in Uji was a great tour. Ako was a wonderful tour guide. Despite an absolute downpour of rain, she kept smiling and energetic, even as she got soaked with rain getting tickets to the temple while we all remained dry. Ako was full of interesting information. The tea house we visited was really interesting in terms of its history and the matcha making experience at the tea house was a lot of fun. All of the food along the way was wonderful. Thank you Ako for a great day!

First Timers

Never been on a food tour before so did not know what to expect, but our tour guide was very friendly and knew where to go to get the best and different types of Japanese food. Will definitely try more food tours on our future trips, thank you Arigato.

Family Adventure in Harajuku

My family had an amazing time with Hannah! We were promptly picked up at our hotel and had an easy ride into Tokyo. We had a chance to discuss our interests and what we would get a chance to see and dialed into our personal tour of Harajuku. It was great to walk and explore while also stopping in for delicious snacks along the way. From the matcha lattes to masubi it was a perfect afternoon adventure. Our stop for lunch to make Okonomiyaki was a treat enjoyed by everyone including our 4 & 8 year old sons. The walk down Takeshita Street was a lot of fun with tons of great shopping and sightseeing. Hannah was an amazing tour guide with so much knowledge of the area and history. She also captured a bunch of family memory photos which was so nice. All in all 100% worth doing!
