“We had a wonderful visit to the Tokyo Fish Market with our guide, Jim. He created a relaxed and easy-going atmosphere and shared many interesting insights into Japanese culture—both from a local perspective and from his experience as a foreigner living in Japan. Jim introduced us to a variety of foods we probably wouldn’t have tried on our own, and we truly appreciated his guidance and clear explanations. Overall, it was a fun and enjoyable tour in a small group of eight people, and we would gladly recommend it to others!”

“We LOVED our tour with Keiko! She was so warm and welcoming and has an incredible knowledge of the rich and interesting history of Tsukiji Fish Market and Japanese culture. We started with the freshest tuna one could ever imagine and ate our way through the market - delectable miso cod, oysters, the freshest most delish tamago you will ever have, ice cream...the list goes on and on.

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We recently did a walking tour of the Tsukiji Fish Markets and absolutely loved the experience. Our tour guide, Kawa, was awesome — incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate about the history, culture, and food of Tsukiji. We learnt so much throughout the tour and really appreciated the insights Kawa shared that we never would have picked up on our own. Having Kawa guide us through the markets truly made the experience so much better, more meaningful, and far more enjoyable. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Tokyo — it was a highlight of our trip!”
