1Tsukiji Fish Market
Explore Tsukiji Fish Market on a small-group walking tour with a local host. Visit specialty shops, see ingredients and foods that may be unfamiliar to first-time visitors, and learn how they are used in Japanese cooking. Your host will share local context, market stories, and practical tips while introducing the people and businesses that keep Tsukiji’s food culture alive. With a maximum of 8 guests, there is plenty of time to ask questions and explore at a comfortable pace. After about one hour, walk to our nearby classroom in Tsukiji for the sushi making class. Both parts of the experience take place in Tsukiji, so there is no cross-town transfer between the market tour and sushi class. This compact format makes it easy to experience both Tsukiji Fish Market and sushi making in one morning.
1 hour • Admission ticket included -
2Tsukiji Jogai Market
Continue directly to a hands-on sushi making class in Tsukiji. Follow clear English guidance as you make 10 pieces of sushi, including tuna and salmon nigiri, vegetable sushi, traditional inari sushi, and a tuna roll. Arrange your sushi in a handcrafted wooden bento box and create your own beautiful Japanese sushi bento. Experience fresh wasabi and learn simple elements of Japanese food culture as you work. Once your bento is complete, take photos and enjoy the sushi you made yourself for lunch. No previous cooking experience is needed. Because the class also takes place in Tsukiji, there is no transfer to another neighborhood—you can finish the experience and continue exploring the market or central Tokyo right away. Quality ingredients sourced through trusted Tsukiji connections bring the flavors of the market into the class. You’ll turn them into a sushi bento designed to look as beautiful as it tastes.
