Excellent way to learn about Japanese cuisine.
Excellent 3 hour morning tour. Started with a classic Japanese breakfast, tour of the fish market, surrounding area, picnic and desserts. Amazing place and Jane was funny and interesting. A must do.
Operator response
Jane is an absolute rockstar (and pretty hilarious, if we do say so ourselves), so we’ll definitely pass your high-fives her way. Thanks for spending your morning feasting with us. Come back and see us the next time you're in the neighborhood!

Enjoyable morning Tsukiji Fish Market Tour.
This was very fun and interesting. It is quite busy here but our tour guide knew where to go that were less crowded. We tried lots of delicious food. Come on an empty tummy!
Operator response
Thanks so much for the fantastic review! You absolutely nailed the golden rule of Tsukiji: always arrive with a dangerously empty stomach! Thanks for spending your morning eating your way through the maze with us.

A morning with Moto at the market
This was one of our favorite tours of the entire trip. We met our guide, Moto-san, at Turret Coffee, which is on the Michelin Guide. We then walked to the market and had a traditional Japanese breakfast. After that, we walked and shopped the market, collecting samples, snacks and fish for our lunch. We had ice cold oysters, roasted black soybeans, tuna from the Tuna Princess and more. We stopped at the top of the market for our lunch which included how to grate fresh wasabi, fresh pickled vegetables including the beautiful baby aubergines. One of the best treats was Moto chronicling our day with photos that were shared with us.

A great food-based tour!
I had a very fun, informative, entertaining and filling time for a tour of Tsukiji Outer Market. During which I had the biggest and freshest oyster I am ever likely to have! Our guide Yappy was great, his working knowledge of the original market was extremely insightful and I feel like we got to see things many may not. I’d highly recommend such a tour of the outer market and surrounding area, lest you get a bit overwhelmed by the food choices!

What a fantastic Tsukiji experience to share! We’re delighted to hear Yappy helped make the market feel both approachable and fascinating through his knowledge of the original market and surrounding area. It’s wonderful that you discovered unique spots and enjoyed such memorable food along the way, especially that incredible fresh oyster! We’re so glad the tour helped you navigate the overwhelming variety of choices while still feeling fun, informative, and delicious from start to finish.
