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.

My husband and I had so much fun learning how to make sushi. Chef Kate and host Haruko were wonderful and the food was delicious! I would highly recommend taking the class. It was fantastic!

Such a wonderful experience exploring Tsukiji Market, discovering fresh Japanese ingredients, and making authentic Japanese dishes by myself. Travel is not just about seeing new places and tasting great food — it’s also about creating beautiful memories through new experiences. ❤️

Hiroko and NoNo is very good and very kind
Wonderful market tour! Akiko has been a fabulous guide to uncover the marvels of Tokyo’s food market. It was so good that it felt way too short and we could have spent many more hours tasting and discovering incredible foods! The sushi class was also a lot of fun, really interesting to get the secrets to great sushi making! The whole family thoroughly enjoyed the experience and we’d warmly recommend it!

We had Nono as our guide and she was super sweet!! We learned a ton about the fish market and the best places to get food there, which was really helpful as it can feel overwhelming since there’s so much. She also was an incredible teacher for the cooking class portion and had a lot of patience with us as we learned and was really encouraging and kind. We loved getting to make sushi, miso soup, and the egg roll with her and the food was delicious!! Thank you for a wonderful experience.
