We had an incredible tour of the Tsujiki fish market Nana our tour guide was knowledgeable and fun she described in great detail the nuances of modern Japanese culinary culture and talked of some old customs too. We sampled some great food fresh fish eggs and sweet strawberries washed down with some nice sake and cold beer. We even learned how to make sushi and had a nice lunch at a local restaurant thank you for the experience

It was a rainy day in Tokyo and our guide Sean really made the best of it! We tried a variety of items, and Sean had a few recommendations of additional things to try, like the wagu beef skewers, which we’d recommend. Sean also gave us a brief history of the market. All in all, a very yummy experience!

If you start your trip with Tokyo, this tour may be a good option. However, in our case, we finished the trip with Tokyo, and after having the chance to see many similar markets during our trip (notably markets in Kyoto), the market of Tokyo was not very different.
Pros of this tour:
- You have the chance to see how they make a "special egg omelets" as you will see the kitchen.
- The guide will let you know if the price of the different shops are good or if it is too expensive.
- The guide will show you the best spot to enjoy sashimi + terrasse.
Cons of this tour:
- As for any tour in Japan, do not expect to have a guide that will be 100% fluent in English. Not very fluent in English = necessarily limited in the type of information you will get.
- The guide was mainly providing information about the ingredients and vegetables of the different markets. As our group was more interested about historical information, most of the information received was not pertinent for us.
- Do not expect to see Tuna cutting in this tour. The restaurant at the end of the trip was good, but the chef prepared sashimi of a very small fish.
Would we recommend this tour?
We did not feel that paying $CAD 650 for a group of 5 was a good deal.

We did tours of each of the major markets in Osaka, Kyoto, and Tokyo. This was by far our favorite one. Our tour guide, Hiro, did a great job of mixing in folklore, history, and fun facts into his tour and also easily answered any questions we had. We had a great sampling of different foods and left very full, which is what we wanted!

Hiro was the best guide with a great sense of humor, very personable, and made the tour very enjoyable. We got to try many different types of food and he took us to a few places that presented a great photo opportunity. I cannot recommend this tour enough.

Romy took us on a private tour of the inner and outer markets and was a delight from start to finish! Romy asked us what our favourite foods were and then sought it out within the market arranging for samples of everything from dashi to sake. She was very informative and we developed a true friendship! Thank you so much Romy for entertaining a group of 5 englishmen! You're a super star!
