We had a wonderful, delicious tour of Hiroshima food stops with guides Miyako and Masako from this company. We learned about many aspects of what we were eating and drinking, and their choices of stops were well-planned and creative. We did not know you could buy both momiji manjyu cakes and real oysters from vending machines, for example! The choice of the Okonomiyaki restaurant could not have been better - so very delicious and an incredibly friendly and warm family cooking for us - it was absolutely delightful. Our whole evening was wonderful and lots of fun. We highly recommend this company.What a fantastic evening in the company of our sparkling and super-friendly guide, Miyuki! I think the highlight was the Okonomimura, in a tiny and very lively upstairs bar - but it was also lots of fun to do a Sake tasting, visit a small brewery, and some souvenir snack shopping in one of the l...
What a fantastic evening in the company of our sparkling and super-friendly guide, Miyuki! I think the highlight was the Okonomimura, in a tiny and very lively upstairs bar - but it was also lots of fun to do a Sake tasting, visit a small brewery, and some souvenir snack shopping in one of the longest-established food stores of Hiroshima. Aside from the food and drinks though, what really made the evening was our wonderful guide - thanks so much Miyuki, you really brought Hiroshima to life for us!All of us had a great time chatting and visiting several interesting places. I liked the Iyokan(citrus)tonic(a soft drink) very much. The taste was good and the story how it was grown and made was fascinating. Thank you Arigatou Japan and the tour guides for the day!!

Thank you Arigatou Japan and the tour guides for the day!!My husband Gareth and I had the best time with Miyuki on our tour.

The Best of Hiroshima Food Tour was a fun and filling experience! Tetsuo's pride and excitement for his town's food and drinks were clear from the onset. This tour ended up being a private tour - at no extra cost to us - which made it even more personalized. That said, this being our second experience with Arigato, it would not have made a huge difference because Arigato's guides are always attuned to the current group they are leading. Thank you, Tetsuo, for a terrific experience.There were no group tours available so I emailed Arigato and they very quickly responded and organised a private tour for me. I Had a brilliant tour with Tetsuo-san, visiting some funky places (soy sauce popcorn and retro games anyone?!) as well as trying some more traditional snacks and drinks....
There were no group tours available so I emailed Arigato and they very quickly responded and organised a private tour for me. I Had a brilliant tour with Tetsuo-san, visiting some funky places (soy sauce popcorn and retro games anyone?!) as well as trying some more traditional snacks and drinks. Tetsuo-san was super knowledgeable, as well as very friendly and easy to talk to. The three hours flew by. I highly recommend this tour, everything about it was great, and I really appreciated the small tweaks for my pescatarian preference.
