Wonderful Shijuku Food Tour - I did 2 tours with Arigato last month. This was was in Shinjuku, Tokyo. Both were great. Everything really, the tour leader, food an stops. I did learn a lot from the guide. We went to places I would have missed if I was on my own. I especially liked the Omiode Yokocho

Flavours of Shinjuku - I really enjoyed this gastronomic tour. Sandra, our tour guide, was amazing and explained to us the diversity of the street food in Shinjuku. She showed us many different hidden restaurants in Shinjuku, where I found my new favorite ramen in Japan. And we finished our tour in a tiny bar and played karaoke with local people.
