What to expect

After meeting at Tsukiji Hongwanji Temple, you will venture to the main destination: Tsukiji Outer Market. Opened in 1935, Tsukiji Market was until recently the world’s largest wholesale fish market, and it remains Japan’s most popular food-related tourist destination. With over 360 establishments, it is home to a mix of wholesalers, restaurants, shops, market stalls, and other businesses, some of which can trace their history back to the market’s very beginning. Food lovers from all over the country flock to the area in search of the best and tastiest seafood ⁠— and they stay to marvel at the market’s charismatic workers and unusual products.

As part of this tour, you will walk around Tsukiji's streets with our expert guide. As you walk, you will learn a little about the history and culture of this exciting area and — even more exciting — try the very best street food dishes and snacks the market has to offer.

We can also visit nearby Namiyoke Shrine, tightly connected to the story of Tsukiji, if there is sufficient interest.
