Geisha by Peru
We had the most wonderful experience with our guide Sebastian. His historical knowledge of Gion district in Kyoto and the Geisha was super and we loved walking through the quaint town, he was a mine of information. The meal was lovely in a traditional restaurant. We had a lovely evening. Thank you Sebastian and Arigato Tours.

Must do if you love food!
This was such a fun experience! We met Akiko in an iconic part of Osaka, learned all about the history, and were able to sample some unique foods! She also took us to a couple of game establishments and a cool knife store. Well worth the time. The food was plentiful, and there was something for everyone. She also asked our preferences--for instance,"were we adventurous eaters?" Had a great time and highly recommend!

Best night in Osaka
Our last night in Osaka we had a food tour with Kevin. I did not expect much because I thought we were going to go to the food stalls. Not so! Kevin took us to 4 different off the beaten path places to dine. We had everything from takoyaki to sushi and many other dishes topped off with taiyaki, fish shaped cakes. Kevin was fun and very knowledgeable. We had a memorable time. Take this tour!

Felt like an insider finding all the cool spots!
We had absolutely wonderful time on our tour! Russ was a fantastic guide, giving us an ongoing history and culture lesson as we ate at some of the best places of our entire trip. From little shops in the open market to cool izakayas tucked away where you'd never find them on your own, we felt like we were getting an insider's view. The time went quickly, and we were STUFFED by the end. Go light on food before the tour, and don't make any solid dinner plans -- you'll be satisfied for a while.

An incredible food tour!
Jane was incredible! She was very informative, and was very friendly. My sister is a vegetarian and made sure to accommodate for her. We truly enjoyed our food shops, and she always made time for questions and/or comments.

Osaka Shinsekai Street Food Tour – Evening
We had a fantastic experience touring the vibrant Dotonbori district of Osaka with Ike from Arigato Tours. Ike was an exceptionally engaging and knowledgeable tour leader, especially well-versed in the local street food scene. He introduced us to some amazing culinary treats, including takoyaki (octopus-filled dough balls), which quickly became one of our favorites, and taiyaki—fish-shaped cakes filled with sweet custard—that were both delicious and fun to eat. Beyond the food, Ike offered plenty of insight into Japanese customs and local traditions, which really enriched the experience. His friendly demeanor and pleasant conversation made the tour not just informative, but truly enjoyable. Thanks to Ike, we left with full stomachs and a deeper appreciation for Osaka’s street culture and cuisine.

Great informative tour with delicious and very filling food
We had an excellent tour with Yappy, and are more than our weight in delicious food. The tour included a quick traditional breakfast at a restaurant in the market, and lunch with purchases Yappy made at the market along the way. We sampled lots of food, had great history lessons and laughed a lot! Absolutely worth the cost. Our five twenty somethings enjoyed it as much as we parents did.

Bragging about Jacob!
Our guide for the tour, Jacob, was absolutely fabulous! Extremely knowledgeable, interactive, and such a good personality to serve as a tour guide. My husband and I loved our time with him and very much appreciated each place he took us to. It was a fabulous tour, and a definite highlight of our time in Tokyo!

Cold Soba is the best!
We really enjoyed this food tour in a neighborhood of Tokyo that we likely would not have visited on our own. Serena was an excellent guide, offering up plenty of history, culture, and food knowledge. Lunch was excellent and the other food stops were a lot of fun. Direction on where to meet where clear and location easy to find with the help of Google Maps. Would definitely book again.

Yanaka one bite at a time
We had a very enjoyable food tour of Yanaka with Michie and Joshua from Arigato Travel Tours. They were very warm and friendly and they shared a lot of interesting local history, including what to say at Japanese meals and information about the area’s shrines and temples, one or two of which we were able to visit along our walk. We tried senbei at Yanaka Senbei, beef and mushroom croquettes from Niku no Suzuki, yuzu sake at Echigoya Honten (a must), cream cheese & sweet bean paste bread and other baked goods at Hitotema bakery, fresh cherries (so different from Western cherries), matcha kakigori and the most amazing sweet potatoes, among other great snacks and street food. Lunch at a local soba restaurant was included, but the most memorable part of the experience was the tea ceremony at Gallery Okubo. This tour is definitely a highlight of our stay in Tokyo. Thank you so much, Arigato Travel Tours!
