Overview

Our tour will take you through the charming area of Yanaka, filled with nostalgia and rustic charm. Our tour will offer you a sightseeing opportunity different from the “big city” feel of other parts of Tokyo. Yanaka was one of the few areas that survived the Great Kanto Earthquake and Fire of 1923 and was spared the Allied fire bombings during WWII. An afternoon stroll down the tiny side streets that dissect the area south of Nippori Station will highlight the diversity of craft still being produced in the area: textiles, ink prints, wood carvings, traditional cuisines, stationery, pottery, jewelry, and much more. You will have the chance to try local street snacks, stop by shops that are over 100 years old, see local shrines and temples and enjoy a regional and seasonal lunch, before ending with a traditional tea ceremony with Wagashi (traditional Japanese sweet). By the end of this lovely tour, you will have tried a lot of different Japanese dishes and drinks that locals LOVE!

Old Tokyo, hidden gems

Published on Oct, 2024

Loved the tour of an old section of Tokyo. Many hidden gems. Perfect pace. Delicious food tasting. And a beautiful surprise at the end. The guide was charming. Highly recommend

A wonderful tour through Yanaka.

Published on Oct, 2024

Our tour through Yanaka with Satoko was excellent!! Our family thoroughly enjoyed it. Satoko was an excellent guide; she was professional, friendly and answered all our questions. The Tea Ceremony was the highlight!!! We also enjoyed lunch and sampling sweet delicacies of Japan. Thank you Arigato Food Tours!!

Old town Tokyo with Makki

An awesome tour with Makki , fun and we learnt lots , she was a fabulous guide , fun and interesting . We really enjoyed the day

Tastiest tour!

Published on Sep, 2024

Visiting from New York, my daughter and I had the pleasure of a 3-hour tour of Tokyo’s old neighborhood in the northern part of the city with Arigato Travel. Our guide, Claire, made it fun, informative, and quite yummy! We got to sample many tasty treats unique to the area. And the shop owners, who knew Claire, were welcoming and engaging. She also shared colorful facts about the Yanaka Ginza shopping area and the various Shinto and Buddhist shines and ancient cemeteries along the way, awakening a surprising fascination in my young daughter. Even though we had a tea ceremony reservation time to keep (and you CAN’T be late for that!), she was patient and flexible as we wandered into the artisanal boutiques for a bit of shopping. Claire made sure we were right on time for the tea ceremony, which was much more authentic and warmly inclusive than the last one we did. I can’t recommend this tour more enthusiastically. It was a grand experience, from start to finish!!

Fantastic food tour!
