Tokyo, Japan, February 2022 -- Arigato Travel is proud to announce its collaboration with Gotemba, a charming city in Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan. They are teaming up to offer 2 local and authentic tours including traditional Japanese experiences and culture to foreigners living in Japan and to future travelers when borders reopen.

Gotemba is a hidden gem and yet it is an easy day trip or wonderful overnight excursion from Tokyo. Arigato Travel recommends this if you want to get outside the crowded Big City and take time to relax and enjoy local vibes.


You can enjoy a full-day tour joining the Zen Experience and Gotemba Local Hidden Gems & Culture Tour (6 hours) where you can try the local food and craft beverages, visit a special temple and immerse yourself in a personalized zen experience, make your own traditional and all-natural indigo-dyed souvenir, and connect with the stories of this historic town!

Gotemba is also a great place for bar hopping so if you're more into the nightlife, you can also enjoy a 3-hour Food and Izakaya (Pub) Hopping experience and spend an evening in this small city WITH a local expert and enjoy the drinking culture AS a local! You will have a chance to enjoy delicious drinks inspired by the ingredients of Shizuoka and Gotemba City, visit local izakaya (pubs) and try regional dishes! This is a great way to get tips and tricks for dining and drinking culture in Japan.

Because Arigato Travel cherishes this off-then-beaten-track destination, they are planning to team up with all their travel partners and agencies to offer these local activities to people from all over the world.

There are so many things to do and see in Gotemba and they can also offer custom programs for guests with specific requests! Contact them by emailing them at [email protected] and their team will get back to you.
