Start your Japan adventure with an unforgettable culinary journey through two of Tokyo’s most iconic neighborhoods, Yurakucho and Ginza. This 3-hour immersive food tour is the perfect way to experience Tokyo’s vibrant dining scene and get a taste of its culture when you first arrive in Japan.
Feel the energy of Ginza’s upscale streets, where history and luxury blend seamlessly, and contrast it with the retro charm of Yurakucho’s Yokocho alleys. Stroll beneath glowing red lanterns and neon signs as the scent of sizzling skewers and freshly grilled seafood fills the air. Your guide will take you back in time to the Showa era, where cozy izakaya (Japanese pubs) offer an authentic taste of local life.
Savor regional specialties from across Japan, from perfectly crisp rice crackers made with a secret recipe dating back over 200 years to delicious dishes at hidden gems only locals know. Listen to the hum of lively conversations, and let the unique ambiance of each stop envelop you

5.00We did an Arigato Food Tour on our first night in Japan and loved it so much, so we booked another! Our second tour was with Ethan and it was such a great experience. We went on our last night in Japan and tried foods that we hadn't tried yet and explored a new neighborhood. Highly recommend!

5.00We had the pleasure to have half Japanese-half Brazilian Ully10 as a guide. She gave culinary and cultural tips and did so with great enthusiasm and authenticity. Ask for Ully if you want to do this tour of Ginza.

5.00We had a great time with our tour guide, Kazuko, she introduced us to so many different types of tasty fish that we saw at the fish market. She was very knowledgeable about all the different seafood options available for us to eat for lunch. She is a very kind person and a joy to be around.
Delicious and fascinating tour

5.00The food was wonderful, and the tour guide Vasilii was incredible. Very knowledgeable not only of the food, but of Tokyo as a whole. You can tell he really enjoys the city and especially letting people know how great it is there. Can't recommend him or the tour highly enough
Must do!

5.00We really enjoyed the tour. Wesley is a great guide, very friendly, knowledgable, and fun. The food stops were so much more than tasting the delicious food, so interesting to learn about the stories of the dishes coming to the table, the places, and their origins. Experiencing the tea tasting at a small tea shop made us aware that appreciation of the tea culture needs to be nurtured, especially among the younger generations. Overall it was a great experience. We highly recommend the tour!
