Tsukiji fish market tour
I had a great time in Tsukiji. Ayumi was a wonderful guide. I learnt so much from her, not only about the food we enjoyed at the markets and the Sushi restaurant but also about the history, culture and language of Japan. It was a bonus to get to see trainee sushi chefs at work. Ayumi also went above and beyond, guiding me to my next place of interest, Tokyo tower. Thank you Ayumi for a lovely day.
Perfect taste of what Japan has to offer
Perfect way to spend my long layover at Haneda. Mieko was a delight - kind, knowledgeable, passionate. Got to try so many new things that I would have never tried on my own. Highly recommend! Can’t wait to go back to Japan.
A glimpse of the Tsukiji “outer” market
Sean, our guide was very kind. We did learn that the market is closed on Wednesday and Sunday ( and our tour was Wednesday) so keep this in mind. But that did mar our experience. There were some shopping stops (tea, knives, pottery) but also mochi, wagu beef, and sushi along with other smaller samples along the way. We learned a bit about Japanese culture and history and met some nice folks on the tour- only 4 of us in total.
