“We had a wonderful visit to the Tokyo Fish Market with our guide, Jim. He created a relaxed and easy-going atmosphere and shared many interesting insights into Japanese culture—both from a local perspective and from his experience as a foreigner living in Japan. Jim introduced us to a variety of foods we probably wouldn’t have tried on our own, and we truly appreciated his guidance and clear explanations. Overall, it was a fun and enjoyable tour in a small group of eight people, and we would gladly recommend it to others!”

“My family had a great time learning how to make sushi! In fact, my kids tried "real" sushi and sashimi for the first time and they loved it. I think having my kids make their own rolls and sushi was the impetus for experimentation. Aside from that, the staff was excellent and the location was perfect. Likewise, we had a delicious sushi lunch!”

A 2-hour small-group walk through Tsukiji with street food stops, a traditional fish-cutting show, and a visit to Hongwanji Temple.
“Wasn’t for me. Just was a very unorganized and hectic, the temple tour didn’t add a ton of value. Skipped a few stalls because it was too busy. I would really recommend saving your money and just walking the market. Nothing in the tour was worth the money of the guide.”

“Our tour guide, Kazu, was absolutely fantastic! His knowledge of the market, recommendations and kindness made this a most fascinating tour.

Thank you Kazu.”

“We were a group of two families (four adults, two kids and two teens) traveling together in Tokyo. Everyone had a wonderful time on this half-day tour! It was enough to get a flavor of the local market/culture without losing the interest of the kids and teens (and husbands). We met Lucy at Tsukiji Hongan-ji. There was a little bit of a misunderstanding when we booked the tour. We thought that since the two families separately booked the same tour at the same time that we would be on the same tour, which is not the case (have one person book everyone on the same purchase to ensure that you're…”

“The tour was great. Our guide George was the most knowledgable guide we had in Japan and his english was the best we have heard in Japan in general. We tried amazing tuna sushi, eel, grilled scallops, wagyu etc. And learned a lot about Japan. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to discover the local culture and try the freshest fish possible!”
