Shinsekai with Sebastian!

We took a daytime tour of the Shinsekai neighborhood with our awesome tour guide Sebastian. He took us to places to eat we would have normally strolled right past and got us set up with local delights. He also found us a shaved ice the size of a boulder. Amazing. Along the way, he shared all kinds of knowledge about the neighborhood. A great tour from a great guy.

(Translated by Google) 23:47 B04. aRil (22) We went on a food tour in Osaka today. Our guide, Diante Fogle, was first-class. He not only let us sample a wide variety of Japanese specialties (he asked about any food intolerances beforehand and whether anyone had any dietary restrictions), but he also told us a lot about Japanese history and led us through small, hidden alleys that we would never have discovered on our own. We received sweet treats and a magnet as a souvenir. Thank you so much, Diante. We would book this tour with you again anytime. We went on a food tour in Osaka today.

Er hat uns nicht nur reichlich japanische Spezialitäten probieren lassen ( es wurden vorher Unverträglichkeiten abgefragt und ob jemand irgendetwas nicht essen mag), sondern hat uns auch viel über die Geschichte Japans erzählt und uns durch kleine, versteckte Gassen geführt, die wir alleine nie entdeckt hätten. Wir haben süße Leckereien und als Andenken einen Magneten geschenkt bekommen. Vielen Dank Diante. Wir würden diese Tour jederzeit wieder mit dir buchen.

We had an amazing tour, and an amazing tour guide Miyuki. We happened to come during the annual sake festival, and although lines were long and distillery’s were crowded, Miyuki made sure we were able to try everything we wanted to try! She was very efficient in making sure we were always trying something new! We learned so much about Sake and the reason it’s made in Hiroshima! She even walked us to our train time and made sure we know where to go, even though we went well over our tour times. She was very personal and easy to hold a conversation with. We are so thankful! Thank you Miyuki

What a wonderful morning we had with our fabulous tour guide, Glenda. We learned so much about the Tsukiji fish market - it's history, customs, layout - and had the opportunity to taste different kinds of seafood including tuna, salmon, eel, vegetables, miso, tea and even puffer fish! Glenda was delightful - full of information, fun to talk with, open, friendly, accommodating and so personable. We highly recommend this tour (ask for Glenda if you can!) - you won't regret it!

Ken took us on a wonderful street food tour. The stops and reservations had been made and the choice of venues and food was excellent. So many new experiences peppered with history, cultural influences and anecdotes. Thank you Ken! Our teen grandchildren also loved it. You were most informative and engaging! Ursula and Martin

Amazing tour guide

We had an amazing tour with Yappy! He was personable and warm. He made us laugh and also shared his culture and language with us. We used some of his helpful phrases for the rest of our trip! We had the freshest of tuna and huge oysters! He told us fun stories and was very prepared. We would do any tour with Yappy! Thanks so much!

We had an evening walking tour in Kyoto with Morten. We had a great evening with some awesome food and sweet treats. Morten was a great guide, we talked about Japanese history and were given a quick introduction to Kanji. My wife is vegetarian and there were options in all the places we went to. Thanks for a great time!

We had a wonderful tour in Kyoto with our tour guide Tak. He was very knowledgeable and such a nice guy. We really enjoyed all the food we got to try. Tak was so kind and even brought us a gift of origami which was beyond special. We will definitely be hanging it in a special place of our home. We would 1000% recommend Arigato travel if you are looking for a guided food tour. Well worth the investment! Thanks Tak and Arigato Travel!

Great

We had a great food tour in Shibuya. Our guide was Saika and she was wonderful, entertaining and knowledgeable. She knew the area well. She took us to wonderful restaurants, and we had a great variety of Japanese food. It was a lot of food to eat, maybe a little too much, but we enjoyed it very much and learned a lot. The food was delicious and the house was extremely engaging. Don’t hesitate to book this tour.

entertaining, umami filled and great fun fish market tour

Hugely enjoyable tour with our enthusiastic guide, Yappi, starting with the best cup of coffee in Tokyo followed by a light breakfast and a few appropriate new words. Then an intensive tour of the fish market with tastings and a delicious picnic at the end. Who knew oysters could grow to be so big! We tasted the finest sashimi, and other delicacies previously unknown to us (might give sea urchins a miss in future but you’ve got to try them to know!).

We had a terrific evening with François exploring the amazing Shimbashi district. He's knowledgeable, funny and took us to places we'd never have discovered. Also, do arrive hungry! Would absolutely recommend his services, he is full of interesting tips, helpful advice, and we had a wonderful experience as part of our first trip to Japan.

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Alex. He introduced us to the Shinjuku area of Tokyo really well, explaining some of its history and quirky culture as we moved around. We stopped at four places and had an excellent range of food. Each place was quite a different experience and included restaurants that we would never have tried without a guide. Thank you Alex

Sandra gave us a wonderful tour in Harajuku! We wandered the streets and heard so many great stories and insights about the neighborhood, Japanese food, customs and culture. It was also really great to hear from Sandra what it is like living in Japan as someone that is originally from Spain. Thank you for filling our stomachs with very tasty food and our hearts for everything that is crazy, cute, and fun in Harajuku! Highly recommend the tour and our tour guide Sandra!
