3 hours (approximately)
Offered in: English

Dive into Tokyo’s most legendary food scene and taste your way through the heart of Japan’s seafood culture.

This tour starts early for a reason. Tsukiji gets hectic fast, and this isn’t a rushed, tick the box experience. We move through around 10 different food spots at a relaxed pace, which takes time if you want to do it properly. Starting at 7:30am lets us beat the crowds, move comfortably through the market, and get the full experience instead of getting caught up in the chaos.

Come hungry, you’ll leave not just full but deeply satisfied after an incredible food experience. Think hot, fluffy tamagoyaki, melt-in-your-mouth tuna and rich otoro, fresh seafood straight from the market, and a mix of Japanese sweets & seasonal treats!

Along the way, we’ll duck into nearby temples and shrines for a quick change of pace. More than anything, this tour is about bringing people together, foodies, travellers, and curious minds connecting over some of the best seafood Tokyo has to offer.
