Tsukiji Hongwanji Temple is a Buddhist temple is unlike any other, especially in terms of its architecture. While the outside of the temple is reminiscent of South Asian and Indian traditional design, the inside adds even more to the mix. It has seen a deal of damage over the years. It burned down just 40 years after it was erected in 1617, and was destroyed again in the great 1923 earthquake. You will meet your tour guide at the main entrance of the temple then start to the tour. The tour does not include the tour of temple so please come earlier and see inside if you are interested in seeing it.

It used to be best known as one of the world's largest fish markets, handling over 2,000 tons of marine products per day before the relocation in 2018.

It was very great getting to learn how to make sushi! I didn't realize how simple the process is, and it has given me the confidence to make it at home! The food market was very busy and difficult to observe, but we will be sure to visit later! Nono and Hiroko were wonderful guides and teachers!

Miho was a great tour guide with a warm personality who took us to the fish market and to our class. We actually bought quite a few things from the fish market to snack on and take back home. The class was fun and we learned how to make a few things as well as enjoyed the meal together after. A very nice experience.
