Overview

Discover Japan's amazing fish and sushi culture on a special tour of Yokohama Fish Market! Browse colorful Sushi toppings and learn about fresh fish caught by Kanagawa's fishermen. Your guide, who has fished from northernmost to southernmost islands, such as Hokkaido to Kyushu, for over 50 years, knows how fish is caught and kept fresh, and how fish and seafood were preserved before widely spreading freezing technology. Enjoy quizzes and learn cooking tips from your guide. Afterwards, enjoy a delicious fish dish, especially a Sushi plate, if you had time (Food price is not included in this tour).
Become a Sushi master too and surprise your friends at the Sushi restaurant! You learn not only fish name in Japanese, but also how to ask fish name in Japanese! Join me on an unforgettable adventure!

What to expect

Join me for a fun adventure to explore Japanese fish for Sushi! Our tour starts at an authentic lively fish market. Enjoy a variety of fish caught that morning at over 20 local fishing grounds. As we stroll through, you learn fascinating facts about where the fish come from, how they're caught, and how they end up at the market. Plus, I'll quiz you along the way!

You can taste FREE TUNA! & purchase fresh tuna fillets or blocks. Without your knowledgable guide, navigating the market's local Yokohama dialect can be tricky.

The tour wraps up with a walk around the in-market restaurants and shops offering delicious fish dishes and sushi (food not included).

This tour is perfect for:
-Sushi lovers eager to learn more about ingredients
-Anyone who loves fresh seafood

Meet me at the NORTH gate of JR East Yokohama Station. We’ll return to Yokohama station around 9:00 ~ 9:30, but feel free to stay behind and enjoy a meal at one of the market’s restaurants.

Did you know there are NO fisheries in the greater Tokyo area? Do you still prefer the less fresh fish at Tsukiji/Toyosu market in Tokyo? Just 25 minutes from Tokyo to Yokohama Station, enjoy an authentic Yokohama fish market tour.
