Taste a variety of unforgettable dishes, from savory street food to traditional regional specialties that capture the soul of Osaka.
Our expert guide will share insider stories about the city’s unique traditions and lead you to hidden gems, including a secret shrine tucked away from the bustling streets—a serene escape most visitors never discover.

What To Expect
Dotombori Glico Sign
Starting on the the bright and busy Doutonburi area we will learn about Glico man, a Filipino sprinter named Fortunato Catalon who inspired a nation and a company!
Dotombori
Similar to Shibuya (its counterpart in Tokyo) the lights and sounds of Dotounburi often lead you astray to overly-commercialised restaurants with queues of tourists outside. We want to take our guests to places they would certainly miss without a local's guidance. We will take secret alleys, not long after we begin the tour, toward the shrine wedged out of sight from the average passerby.

Gion food tour

4.00We did a food tour in Gion Kyoto. Our guide was very good. We had a difficult customer in our group and our guide handled the situation very calmly and professionally. The tour was interesting and food v, tasty. We did think it was a little on the expensive side though. A travellers tip- July is very very hot in Kyoto, take this into account if you are planning on doing any walking and take lots of water with you.

5.00This was our 2nd Arigato food tour and it certainly was another amazing experience! This time, we did the nightlife food tour in Osaka and Ike was amazing at introducing our group to Osaka’s amazing food options! Thank goodness for our great guide, Ike! He took us to places we could never have found on our own. Ike was so nice and interesting to talk to. Very happy we did this tour. Highly recommend it,
Good!
