Tsukiji Fish Market in Tokyo was once the world's largest and most famous seafood market, renowned for its early morning tuna auctions and wide variety of fresh seafood. Located in central Tokyo, it operated from 1935 until it officially closed in 2018, when the inner wholesale market moved to a new location in Toyosu. However, the outer market, filled with street food stalls, restaurants, and shops, remains open and continues to attract tourists and locals looking to experience traditional Japanese food culture. Tsukiji is still a vibrant symbol of Tokyo’s culinary heritage.
Ginza, Tokyo's luxurious shopping and entertainment district, is a must-visit for travelers seeking the best of the city's upscale offerings. Here, you can stroll along Chuo-dori, lined with flagship stores of international brands and prestigious Japanese boutiques. Ginza also offers everything from world-class sushi at Michelin-starred restaurants to charming cafes. With its blend of high-end shopping, dining, and cultural experiences, Ginza offers a quintessential Tokyo experience. We will especially experience local sweets and the Ginza 6.
DECKS Tokyo Beach, located in Odaiba, is a dynamic shopping and entertainment complex featuring diverse attractions. The main attraction is Hikara Yokocho. It is a delightful dining and entertainment area that captures the nostalgic charm of Japan’s Showa era (1926-1989). Designed to resemble a traditional Japanese alleyway, Hikara Yokocho offers a unique atmosphere with retro decor and a lively, bustling vibe.
Aqua City Odaiba is a premier shopping and entertainment complex located in the scenic Odaiba district of Tokyo. Overlooking Tokyo Bay and the iconic Rainbow Bridge, Aqua City offers visitors a delightful blend of shopping, dining, and entertainment options. One of its standout features is the Ramen Street on the 5th floor, a paradise for ramen enthusiasts. It offers a delightful culinary journey through Japan’s diverse ramen landscape, making it a highlight for food lovers visiting the complex. Whether you’re a ramen aficionado or trying it for the first time, Ramen Street provides an unforgettable dining experience.
The Statue of Liberty in front of Aqua City Odaiba is a captivating landmark that offers a unique blend of East and West. This replica of New York's iconic statue stands proudly by Tokyo Bay, providing a striking contrast against the backdrop of the futuristic Odaiba skyline and the stunning Rainbow Bridge. Originally installed temporarily in 1998 to commemorate the "French Year in Japan," the statue became so popular that it was reinstalled permanently in 2000. It has since become a beloved spot for both tourists and locals, offering fantastic photo opportunities and a scenic viewpoint, especially at sunset. The Odaiba Statue of Liberty adds a touch of international charm to this vibrant waterfront district.
The Unicorn Gundam statue in Odaiba is a spectacular sight for anime enthusiasts and visitors alike. Standing at a towering 19.7 meters (about 65 feet) in front of the DiverCity Tokyo Plaza, this life-sized statue is a tribute to the iconic Mobile Suit Gundam series. The Unicorn Gundam is particularly impressive due to its ability to transform between two modes: Unicorn Mode and Destroy Mode. At specific times during the day, the statue undergoes a transformation sequence, complete with lights and sound effects, thrilling onlookers. This stunning piece of art and engineering is a must-see attraction, symbolizing Japan's rich pop culture and technological prowess.
Toyosu Senkyaku Banrai Village is a vibrant marketplace located in the Toyosu district of Tokyo. This bustling hub is known for its diverse selection of fresh seafood, local produce, and gourmet foods, making it a paradise for food lovers. The village offers a mix of traditional Japanese markets and modern dining options, where visitors can enjoy everything from sushi and sashimi to street food and international cuisines. Additionally, the venue frequently hosts cultural events, cooking demonstrations, and workshops, providing an immersive experience in Japanese culinary traditions. With its lively atmosphere and wide variety of offerings, Toyosu Senkyaku Banrai Village is a must-visit destination for those looking to explore Tokyo's rich food culture.

The tour to the fish market really excited me. I admired the wide range of seafood and fish and tried a lot, everything was very delicious 😋. This was a great insight into Japanese food culture and should not be missed. Mega great 🤩!!!
Hallo Gabi, vielen lieben Dank für deine tollen Worte. Ja ich konnte sichtlich spüren, wie dir der Fisch geschmeckt hat. Das war ein Spaß! Ich freu mich schon auf unser nächstes Abenteuer zusammen. Jero
This was the second day and tour with Jero and we discovered another part of the city. We went to the fish market and had some delicious seafood. After that we ate a snack in Ginza. Very delicious! We took the train to Daiba and have seen tokyos skyline. We ended up in a small hidden fish village and enjoyed our evening there. In case we come back to Tokyo we will go on another trip with him.
Thank you so much for your lovely review Lucy! It was an absolute pleasure exploring even more of Tokyo with you on our second day together. I’m so glad you enjoyed the seafood at the market and those snacks in Ginza. Tokyos food scene is endless! That 'hidden fish village' is one of my favorite secret spots to escape the hustle and bustle, and I’m happy it was a special ending to your evening. It would be a joy to welcome you back for a third trip whenever you return to Tokyo. Safe travels until then! Best regards, Jero
Already in advance we booked the fish market/skyline tour on recommendation. We were very grateful for this tip because it was the best tour ever! From the booking we were very well informed via WhatsApp. Excellent support from the German-speaking Jero, we were given. He showed us corners and places that we would not have found ourselves due to his charming nature and in-depth knowledge. We can only warmly recommend Jero and would book him again anytime during our next stay in Tokyo. Absolutely top!
Lieber Georg, wow, vielen Dank für dieses überragende Feedback! 'Die beste Tour ever' – das hört man als Guide natürlich unglaublich gerne und es motiviert mich riesig. Es hat mich sehr gefreut, euch die Stadt von ihrer authentischen Seite zeigen zu dürfen. Besonders schön, dass euch die Kombination aus fundiertem Wissen und den versteckten Plätzen so begeistert hat. Genau diese 'Aha-Erlebnisse' machen meinen Job aus. Vielen Dank auch für das Lob zur Betreuung im Vorfeld; mir ist es wichtig, dass meine Gäste schon vor der Landung in Japan ein gutes Gefühl haben. Ich freue mich schon jetzt auf euren nächsten Besuch in Tokio! Beste Grüße, Jero
We booked the 'Fischmarkt/Skyline' tour (with Jero in German) on recommendations and are totally thrilled! It's all-round carefree care that starts in advance via WhatsApp! Jero responds individually to one and we would never have found the many insider sightseeing points alone! We found the background knowledge and additional information outstanding. Jero has given us wonderful hours with his charming, pleasant nature! You can tell that he designs his tours with enthusiasm and passion. We can highly recommend this tour and Jero to anyone to experience individual, stress-free and extraordinary in Tokyo! A big thank you to Jero, for a great day and on a next visit to Tokyo we would definitely book him again, as a tour guide❣️
Liebe Katrin, vielen Dank für diese wunderbare und ausführliche Bewertung! Es hat mir riesigen Spaß gemacht, euch den Fischmarkt und die Skyline von Tokio zu zeigen. Es ist gut zu wissen, dass ihr die Vorab-Betreuung per WhatsApp und die Auswahl der Insider-Spots so geschätzt habt. Mein Ziel ist es immer, dass sich meine Gäste vom ersten Moment an gut aufgehoben fühlen und Ecken entdecken, die in keinem Reiseführer stehen. Dass mein 'Herzblut' für diese Stadt bei euch angekommen ist, bedeutet mir sehr viel. Es war ein toller Tag mit euch und ich würde mich sehr freuen, euch bei eurem nächsten Tokio-Besuch wieder begleiten zu dürfen. Es gibt noch so viel mehr zu entdecken! Alles Liebe und bis zum nächsten Mal, Jero
Jero took us to both the older and new Fish Markets, as well as to the island of Odaiba. We could see Mt Fuji and a great view of Tokyo’s skyline from there. It was the second tour by him and I’d highly recommend any of his tours.
Thank you so much again, Lori! 🌅 It was wonderful spending a second day exploring with you. The mix of the old and new fish markets, the walk through Odaiba, and then that perfect view of Mt. Fuji, super rare! I’m really glad we got to enjoy it together. I appreciate your kind words more than you know, and I’m always happy to show you more of Tokyo whenever you’re back!
This was our third tour with Jero and he showed us completely new sides of this great city again. According to our wishes Jero adapted the tour individually to us. I wanted something traditional, my son cars and anime. Even the tour planning with Jero’s enthusiastic suggestions and ideas in advance was incredibly fun. Despite rain, equipped with rainshoes, and transparent umbrellas (thanks Jero), he prepared us again a fantastic day. Jero’s enthusiasm and passion for showing all the places he loves so much and his ever-optimistic and sunny ways are rousing, inspiring and incredibly personable. Besides, you never get enough of listening to him. His in-depth knowledge and wealth of experience are almost inexhaustible. Something very special is Jero’s authentic and warm manner, which gives the feeling of being out with a good friend. Not only did we feel attentively cared for by him at all times. Above all, it is also the many shared experiences that make Jero’s tours so extraordinary. You want to explore, get to know, enjoy and experience Tokyo lively, authentic and with a friend? Then we guess from the bottom of our hearts, Jero books. The best guide ever. Saying goodbye to him was very difficult for my son and I after this last tour and we are already looking forward to our next tours with him. Tokyo only with Jero 😊.
Liebe Juliane, ich weiß gar nicht, was ich sagen soll! Deine Worte gehen echt direkt ans Herz. 💛 Die dritte Tour mit euch war wieder etwas ganz Besonderes. Trotz Regen (die stylishen Regenschuhe bleiben unvergessen 😄) war der Tag einfach rundum schön – so voller Energie, Neugier und Spaß. Es bedeutet mir viel, dass ihr meine Begeisterung für Tokio so teilt. Mit euch unterwegs zu sein, fühlt sich tatsächlich eher an wie mit Freunden, nicht wie mit Gästen. Eure Offenheit und gute Laune machen jede Tour zu etwas, worauf ich mich riesig freue. Der Abschied fiel auch mir schwer, aber ich bin mir sicher, das war nicht das letzte Mal! Ich freu mich schon jetzt auf unser nächstes Abenteuer in Tokio. 🌸
We weren’t in Tokyo for the first time, but the tour with Jero was still more worthwhile. He could answer many questions you have when you are in this city or country. Highly recommended
Vielen lieben Dank, Claudia! 🇯🇵 Ich freue mich sehr, dass euch die Tour so gut gefallen hat, gerade weil ihr Tokio ja schon kanntet! Es war richtig schön, mit euch durch die Stadt zu spazieren und gemeinsam noch ein paar neue Seiten zu entdecken. Hoffentlich sehen wir uns bald mal wieder!
It was our first time in the bayside of Tokyo and we simply loved it. Thank you Jero for showing us the different faces of this incredible city .
Thank you so much, Daniel! 🌅 I’m really glad you enjoyed discovering Tokyo’s bayside — it’s such a special part of the city, with a completely different atmosphere from the busy center. It was great exploring it with you both and sharing another side of Tokyo’s character together. Hope the city keeps surprising you each time you visit!
Amazing tour on the bayside of Tokyo. We would never be able to plan it by ourselves. Skyline, delicious street food!! Thank you Jero for the wonderful day
Thank you, Iris for the 3rd day! I’m so happy you enjoyed the bayside tour as well. The skyline views and street food make it such a special part of Tokyo. It was a pleasure showing you around, and I’m sure we’ll see each other again on another Tokyo adventure!
It was just awesome! Jero showed us such great corners of the city and was really a great guide that I would recommend at any time (and will ;-)). If you are in Tokyo and want to see the city from a different perspective, then you should really book a walk with Jero! We will come back and will certainly plan the next tour with this top guide.
Vielen lieben Dank, Natascha! Es freut mich riesig, dass euch die Tour so gut gefallen hat und ihr Tokio aus neuen Perspektiven entdecken konntet. Es macht einfach Spaß, die Stadt gemeinsam zu erkunden und euch die versteckten Ecken zu zeigen. Ich freue mich schon sehr auf unser nächstes Abenteuer zusammen – bis bald in Tokio!
