Tokyo, Japan, February 2022 -- During regular times, Arigato Travel's main mission is to provide travelers from all over the world with authentic, local experiences in Japan. However, they also offer great recommendations and activities for locals, especially for foreigners and expats living in Japan.

You're living in Japan and feel like you are not exploring and discovering enough of the country? A lot of people might feel stuck in their everyday lives, and want to enjoy memorable and more in-depth experiences. Everyone knows the big cities such as Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, Hiroshima and so on, but have you ever thought about Gotemba City in Shizuoka Prefecture?


At the base of the magnificent Mt Fuji, Gotemba City is a hidden gem! Perfect for a day trip from Tokyo or for a staycation, this destination is one of Arigato Travel's favorites to enjoy a relaxing time and of course, delicious food. Because they understand that travelers and locals don’t have the same needs and expectations, they have adapted versions of their tours for people living in Japan. This means you’ll definitely learn something new and have a good time even if you’re a long-time resident! It’s also important for Arigato Travel to bring you to more hidden local businesses to show support for the local community, especially during these hard. covid times.

Being a tourist in your own second home can be a great thing. If you're looking for unique experiences in a lovely town, Arigato Travel's local guides are excited to share with you Gotemba's special stories while introducing you to interesting places and seasonal foods!
