Fascinating Salarymen district tour

We had a lovely tour although the weather was dismal, pouring with rain! John took us to the salaryman’s district and the stories and information he held was fascinating. We were restricted to food because of my wife’s dietary requirements, but that we had was very tasty. The drink was good too and we were too engrossed to take more photos.

5 Star Experience!

We had an absolutely incredible food tour in Tokyo with Ema from Arigato Travel, and it was hands down one of the best experiences of our entire trip! The evening started with a thoughtful tea tasting, which set the perfect tone and made the whole tour feel so well planned. From there, Ema took us to a wonderful local Japanese restaurant, followed by another authentic spot where we enjoyed both cold and hot udon noodles. Ema has such a gift for making you feel welcome — he took the time to learn our likes and dislikes, then ordered for us with perfect intuition every single time. After dinner, he treated us to a delicious dessert and then took us to the most amazing view and park at the top of Ginza 6. Throughout the evening, Ema shared fascinating cultural insights that made everything so much richer — like how slurping noodles is customary and that you should never pour your own sake because it's considered bad luck. He was patient, never rushed us, and made us feel like we were exploring Tokyo with a good friend. Ema is a true five-star guide in every sense — kind, smart, funny, worldly, and such a joy to spend time with. We laughed, learned, and ate incredibly well. If you're visiting Tokyo, do yourself a favor and book a tour with Ema and Arigato Travel. You won't regret it. Thank you so much, Ema — you made our evening unforgettable!

Great underground tour

We went on the Tokyo Underground Tour to do something a bit different as we've been to Tokyo quite a lot of times and also we live in APAC so the kids were familiar with Japanese food. It was great, a combo of history, architecture and food. Really recommended. The guide, Chris, integrated the kids into the tour in a great way and gave them fun challenges to do as we walked and honestly feel know Tokyo, the underground and the city much better now. And great food of course.

Shigeki is the best! Let’s learn and eat and have fun!

Shigeki did the best! Temple visit. Wandering seamlessly at so many food stalls. A bit of lecturing about the history. And, of course, the food! Started with a small cooked nosh. And then integrated walking and eating!

Great experience with a great guide

We had a wonderful food tour in Osaka with Melissa. She was very informative, knowledgeable, and interesting. We felt like we were out for the evening with a new friend! We tried many new food items and had a great experience at several restaurants. We would highly recommend the tour and especially enjoyed Melissa’s guidance.

Kyoto Nishiki Market Food Tour

Led by our expert guide Raquel, we sampled delicious dishes, snacks and sake while immersed in the atmosphere and rich history of the bustling Kitchen of Kyoto. Raquel shared her favourite foods with us and introduced us to dining etiquette over lunch, along with her experiences living in Japan. A wonderfully memorable and highly recommended adventure.
