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 Market where you will experience the energy and excitement of the early morning tuna auction. With all this walking, you learn 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.

Note*1: The tuna auction is viewed from a public space on the third floor.

We ask that your be aware that Toyosu is a place of business. To keep fish sanitary for consumption, you cannot enter the main auction floor. The tuna auction length varies daily due.
