What to expect

Calling all foodies! Visit the historic Tsukiji Market and discover its background and hidden gems. Start off enjoy a special breakfast before exploring the bustling outer market and sampling famous Japanese foods.

Despite the move of wholesale vendors from Tsukiji's inner market to Toyosu Market, this is one neighborhood that is still worth visiting. More than 100 years of history is still kept alive with 65 specialty vendors who chose to remain and keep Tsukiji going.
In this tour, you will get to taste specialties from the area which you cannot find elsewhere! Fuel up with coffee at one of Tokyo's best artisanal spots and a special Tsukiji breakfast at a local restaurant before exploring this remarkable area with your local guide.
Try fresh sashimi and other seasonal culinary delights, trying out 10-12 different dishes at 4 food stops, including some green tea and other traditional Japanese sweets!
Get ready for quite a bit of walking on this tour, but the delicious food and the insight into Tsukiji's hidden charms and underlying history are well worth it.
