Excellent tour! Yoshi is a great guide!
Yoshi's tour was really amazing! He guided us to various restaurants, all foods are very yummy! His explanarion about Tsukiji is very interesting, he also is good at communicating with guests. Yoshi's English is also perfect. What a great time in the final destination that we enjoyed Japanese Sake with extremely yummy tuna...! Not all restaurants of Tsukiji are so yummy so if you want to experience Tsukiji Market I defenitely recommend Yoshi's tour!
Operator response
Tetsuro, I’m really touched by your kind words! Guiding you through Tsukiji was a blast, and your curiosity made it even more special. I’m so glad the tour—and the food—hit the spot. Let’s share more laughs (and sake!) again soon!

Had a Perfect Breakfast!
I booked this tour because I had joined Yoshi's Shinjuku bar hopping tour before and enjoyed it so much)!! He was very knowledgeable about Tsukiji fish market and knew many restaurants that I could not have found on my own.I was very happy to be able to eat tuna, oysters, sake, and other delicious food from the morning.Thank you very much Yoshi-san!
Operator response
Yukichi, it made me so happy to see you again! Thank you for trusting me with another tour. I’m really glad you enjoyed the Tsukiji experience—there’s nothing like sake and fresh seafood in the morning, right? Let’s explore more hidden spots together next time!

Authentic and fun Tsukiji food tour with a local
We had an amazing time on the Tsukiji food tour! Our guide, Yoshi, was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. Having lived near Tsukiji for many years, he definitely knew all the best food stalls and places. He took us to some of his favorite local spots, and each one was a hidden gem. I think our highlight was buying the fresh sashimi at the fishmarket and enjoying it upstairs at a place that recommended sake pairings to what we ate. There is also not only fish and Yoshi was happy to adapt the tour to our interests and tastes. He showed us some places with amazing matcha and wagyu beef if we wanted to try. But honestly, every bite of what we had was delicious! Going early in the morning helped us avoid the busy crowds, so we had a relaxed experience exploring the market. Yoshi also told us some background information about the market and recommended great souvenirs to get when we passed some shops that we liked. I highly recommend this tour for food lovers who want an authentic Tsukiji adventure! Thank you, Yoshi!
Operator response
Elvira, I can’t thank you enough for this wonderful review! I’m so happy you enjoyed the mix of fresh seafood, wagyu, and matcha—and that we could avoid the crowds with our early start. Sharing my favorite local spots with you was a joy. Hope to see you again for another tasty Tokyo adventure!
