Reviews for Arigato Travel / Arigato Japan Food Tours

We had a wonderful food tour in Kyoto with Mark! It was our first night in Kyoto and it was the best way to start. We learned so much, ate a delicious dinner, and loved getting to know Mark. Highly recommend this tour!

Loved my food tour in Hiroshima with Ami. She is so knowledgable and fun, and was happy to adapt mid tour to accomodate things I was interested in. I learned about the food and culture, as well as local history. Loved it. Thanks Ami.

Fun food tour in Osaka

Fun food tour with Ken. He had us try foods that we wouldn’t have tried. Also, took us to a few non food places. My boys especially loved the shooting arcade he took us too. The knives store/demonstration was nice too.

Fun food tour in Harajuku

This tour was better than I expected! I thought we would just be doing some food tastings. But our tour guide, Hannah, explained the some of the fashion trends in Harajuku, took us to several interesting places we wouldn’t have gone to on our own and told us about the food and did all the ordering. It was great! We ended with taking cute photos at a Photo Booth.

Nightlife Osaka Street Food Private Tour!!

I was met by Jahmelah from Arigato Travel and did the Nightlife Osaka Street Food Private Evening Tour. It was fantastic. I loved every minute of the 3-4 hour tour of street food and night life. The food was delicious, fresh and interesting. The nightlife was fun and so educational about Japan! I highly recommend!

Great Food, Mixed Experience The food on this tour was exceptional — outstanding quantity, quality, and variety. We enjoyed generous portions of delicious local specialties. However, finding the meeting spot was very difficult. The instructions pointed to a mural that had been taken down with no clear alternative. Our guide Mae was friendly and knowledgeable, but she seemed awkward and not very engaging. She didn’t encourage group introductions, so we felt disconnected and noticed other guides were much more lively. She’s nice and knows her material, but may be better suited to a different role. Hoping the company can provide support without this affecting her job. The food made it worthwhile, but better logistics and energy would improve it.

Golden Gai food tour

This was a great tour. We ate and had drinks at a lot of places we would not have otherwise found. Claire was a fantastic tour guide.

Yummy Kyoto food tour!

Our tour guide was Lin and we had a wonderful time. She took us around Kyoto and besides taking us to the unique and authentic shops of Kyoto for all our special treats, spices and sweets, she gave us some cultural insights of Kyoto. We ended our night with a wonderful meal and great company and conversation. Lin was a delight!

Must do in Kyoto

We took the Kyoto Pontocho Walking Tour. Lin was a gem of a guide and we loved every minute of the experience. We took tours from other operators while in Japan and Arigato is the way to go. Lin explained the culture, history, had great stories and vignettes to share, and most of all, the food she picked was amazing!

A fascinating snapshot

A fascinating & fun filled tour. Our guide Daniel shared lots of interesting snippets of information & really knew the area well. I won’t forget drinking a Pyrex measuring jug full of beer!

Finished an incredible Tsukiji fish market tour, and it far exceeded my expectations! Our guide was absolutely amazing—friendly, engaging, and incredibly knowledgeable. I was blown away by how delicious everything was. I learned so much, enjoyed every stop, and the small group made the experience even more fun and relaxed.

Our guide was Lee and he was awesome! Funny, energetic, answered any questions we had, dropped some knowledge about Osaka. Was amazing with our kids keeping them entertained and involved. Highly recommend if you have a choice in picking a guide!

Truly a special experience, especially with the 16th generation matcha family. Noboru is a fantastic tour guide, and really paints a picture with his words of what Uji once was.

We had a lovely food tour with Shigeki today. He took us to restaurants we would not have found ourselves. We sampled a variety of delicious Japanese foods and drinks also.

My colleagues and I had a food and craft beer tour around Umeda with Sebastian and it was fantastic. Sebastian was flexible to our needs, knowledgable about the area and Japan, and also just a top guy who you’ love to spend time with. I know Japan can seem difficult to navigate at the best of times and I’d highly recommend this for anyone looking for a well-organised, fun way to spend time in Japan without the mental gymnastics.

Food Tour with Kids (AND Alexandra!)

I am so happy someone suggested I book a food tour in Shibuya! I am even happier I did it with Alexandra and through Arigato Food Tours. Not only did I get to try different types of food (from different regions), the tour had a great structure and our guide was incredibly knowledgeable. From telling us about food origin, to picking picking out local landmarks, to letting me in on some of the "locals" questions I've had here it was a game changing 3 hours (actually more- she went above and beyond). It was also extremely family friendly and Alex was patient with my kids (who are both sassy and slow walkers). Arigato! Arianna & Co

Vasilimio was an excellent guide for us through Japan and most definitely a highlight of our trip. Not only did he share extensive knowledge of the history and culture in Tokyo but, he had a unique perspective because he has traveled to many other countries. He helped create very special memories for our family. Highly recommend!!
