Overview

If you know Tsukiji, you will understand Japanese food culture!
Our English-speaking guide will show you how to enjoy the Tsukiji Fish Market, not only the fish.

The Tsukiji Outside Market is a vibrant area where a variety of Japanese foodstuffs are gathered. It was adjacent to the former Tsukiji Market, which until a few years ago was Tokyo's central wholesale market.
Even now that the former Tsukiji Market has closed, it remains a popular shopping and dining destination for tourists.

You will tour the market with an English-speaking guide while buying snacks at recommended stores.
You will also visit Tsukiji Honganji Temple and Tsukiji Namiyoke Shrine, which are essential for getting to know Tsukiji.
Later in the tour, you can purchase your favorite lunch and enjoy it with our purchased snacks (lunch fee is not included ).

*Snacks purchased on this tour include seafood and meat. Please inform the guide if you have any other allergies.
