Kanako is super great! She provided excellent information on the food samples we tried (where they came from, what part of the body, the differences between qualities, etc). She was so upbeat and very sweet. She really took time to give the group a great experience and showed us the best spots in Tsukiji Outer Market to eat at. She took care of getting us the food and avoiding long lines. At the end, she brought us to a lovely garden full of blooming sakura trees to eat our cute strawberry mochi!
Was such a great way to experience the unique and delicious foods of Japan! I loved all the food samples and enjoyed the temple tour and skyscraper view :) Ken was nice enough to help me to my train :)
Had a great time. I went on this solo and got grouped with a family of 4. Our tour guide, Yoichi, is very energetic and made sure everyone felt welcome in the tour. He brought us around Tsukiji and helped us take pictures. Highly recommended.
Really good experience, Amy went above and beyond and told us what she thought was a good vs bad deal at the market. she came prepared for the hot day and was really fun!
This is an absolutely brilliant tour! Our guide took our small group around the market, keeping us all together and accommodating requests, finding us samples (and the absolute best fatty tuna!), things to buy and then taking us for excellent sushi. Finally a walk to an observation deck to view the bay and the local area - a great way to spend some time!
Our guide Kiyo (I hope I got that right!) was amazing. She was so lovely and informative and took us to amazing food stalls at the Tsukiji fish market. She even waited 10minutes for us when we got lost! Highly recommend.
Molly the guide was exceptional! Her knowledge about the market history, culture and general background information was first class. We had fun, enjoyed tasting the food and interacting with the group as a whole. Perfect day in Tokyo.
it was such a great experience. we were lucky to iNok as our guide because he was very knowledgeable in the Japanese food and the hiatory od Tsukiji Fish Market.
A very informative tour. The protocols of the temple and the description of all the rituals set us up for the rest of our vidits yo shrines and tempkes in Osaka and Kyoto. The fish market restuarant offered acdelicioys taste of traditional japanese food. Well worth the cost.
This tour is to Tsukiji but we got to try different snacks and even went up to the high floor of a building to see the great views of Tokyo.
