A licensed guide meets you on foot; food and transport cost extra, and the tuna auction is not included. 4.77 from 167 reviews at €95 per person for 4h. In our comparison: #42 of 45 in Food & Drink Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (table below). ## Overview Eat and shop like a Japanese local and immerse yourself in this food-themed trip inside both of Tokyo’s two famous fish markets, Toyosu and Tsukiji. Quite possibly the best places to get a sense of Japanese culinary culture! Meet up with your guide at your hotel or Toyosu to view the fish selling and processing from the observation deck. Afterwards, head toTsukiji Market where you will experience the energy and excitement of the local kitchen. As you navigate your way through this labyrinth of all things seafood, learn from your guide about the market’s history and why many of Japan’s top chefs visit daily to pick up the freshest-quality ingredients. After the tour, you can stay in the market to enjoy the rest of your breakfast or lunch at your leisure. This is not the tour with the early morning tuna auction.
