My husband and I had an incredible morning on this tour! We both love food and the markets did not disappoint! Kenji was incredibly knowledgeable and kind. He showed us all the best places to get food and took us to some really beautiful spots! Highly recommend!

It was an eye-opening trip. Thanks to Coco for her flexibility and professionalism despite the terrible weather. Coco was patient, helpful, and knowledgeable. We had a great time and would recommend this for any Tokyo beginners!

Tsukiji was great! Would have preferred a more leisurely experience though. We went to Toyosu after. Not much to see there in the middle of the day. Overall, our guide seemed more focused on checking off sites rather than letting us enjoy the experience. Also didn’t need to see the shrines Too much time spent on transportation. (I had requested to meet at the market but our guide said no). It also would have been better to finish with Tsukiji instead of Toyosu so we could have enjoyed more time at the market and eaten lunch around there.

Ken is a fantastic guide. Without asking he customized the entire trip. Ken even found a taxi at the end, which got us to a river cruise ahead of our scheduled departure.

We had a great morning with Mio, our expert local guide. She met us promptly at our our hotel and led us to nearby Shinjuku Station where we had the opportunity to experience the busiest train station in the world at rush hour. Quite a memorable experience! We then took the Tokyo monorail to the wholesale fish market (Toyosu) where Mio told us how the morning Tuna auction was conducted and guided us through the viewing area above the auction floor. We even saw a replica of the largest tuna ever sold at the auction (over 500 pounds). We then went to the nearby Block 5 fruit and vegetable building. A very interesting place and not to miss if you are already at Toyosu. We then went to the Tsukiji market where you can find, taste and buy all types of food. It was very busy (unlike the commercial markets), but Mio expertly led us through the crowds and provided us with the opportunity to try many different foods. Thank you, Mio, for a wonderful time.

We had the tour today with Naoko, a young Japanese Biology major with a passion for English. It was very helpful to have her along for the explanations about the amazing variety of food and kitchen accessories. She also explained how many of the ingredients are used to create the Japanese dishes. Friendly and with an excellent English, she was a great guide.

Great visit with a very informative guide despite Tokyo weather! Visited Tsukiji Food market, and a Temple in the outer market. Then Toyosu fish market where we had a delicious lunch.

We had a wonderful guide Koji. He sent messages before the trip. He picked us up at the hotel. He explained everything and even helped us to get our IC cards recharged. He is knowledgeable, kind and very thorough. I will recommend him.

Lily was a fabulous guide. We were so daunted by the train system. Lily helped us with the Suica card and it was plain sailing from there. The food was amazing. Lily had a depth of knowledge that made the market interesting. Take cash - a lot of it. Especially if waghu is your thing.

The information was exactly what I wanted to know! The tour was through the places I’d hoped to see and experience. Our guide was wonderful and very kind and answered all our questions!

I do not recommend this tour at all. The guide seemed to be in a rush and just walked us from place to place without explaining us anything. We met at our hotel and took the subway to the market. He first walked us to Toyosu and showed us the auction hall rather quickly, he didn’t say much and didn’t give us a lot of time to read the descriptions on the walls. Then he walked us to the intermediary market, but again just walked us there without saying much else, no time to read on our own. Then he took us to the food stalls where we were hoping he would recommend good stalls or at least tell us about the food, but that was not the case. Then we took the subway to Tsukiji, where he essentially showed us where the market was and left. We would have been better off wandering around the markets by ourselves, which is what we ended up doing. Understand that his English was very poor so it was hard to communicate with him, but I did expect so much more for the price I paid. Save your money and go on your own terms, you’ll get the same experience and it’ll be less frustrating!

We had the best time on our tour of the Tsukiji market. Our guide, Yamasan, was wonderful! He made our day stress-free, informative and fun. Our family really appreciated the insights and support from Yamasan before our trip, as well as during. Having traveled quite a bit and enjoyed many tours through Viator, we have never had a guide go out of their way to welcome us to the city by leaving materials for us at our hotel in advance to ensure we were able to find our way. Additionally, we will always cherish the origami gift that Yamasan provided. Not doubt we will remember the tour, the food, the experience, but also our guide. Thank you for bringing joy to our trip and making our day at the market a highlight!

We went on extraordinary culinary experiences at Toyosu and Tsukiji Fish market with an excellent private guided tour in April 2024. Our guide , Miya, was very helpful and showed us all the hidden food gems of the fish markets . She had excellent knowledge of area and guide us to where all the best sushi and specialty street foods in the surrounding area of the fish market. I would highly recommend this tour for food lovers like us.

What a lovely morning we spent touring the fish markets. Miya picked us up at our hotel at 6am and ensured that we were able to see everything we requested. Miya is very knowledgeable about the fishing industry and the process of the tuna auction. We even received a short tutorial on the hand signals used by the tuna buyers to bid on each fish. Top that off with a visit to a hidden gem for coffee, tea and treats. Miya was so helpful and kind. Thanks so much for your professional support!

Exciting sharing a sushi meal in the old markets. Our guide was very knowledgeable and experienced. Thank you Yoshi.

We had an early morning start ,meeting Yoshi at the taxi down stairs from our hotel A wonderful start in the taxi to the new fish market, where Yoshi gave us an outline of the Japanese history. The new market viewing and tour of the tuna auction, and foods was detailed and interesting. We then went to the old market which was a wonderful cultural experience, with Yoshi giving detailed explanations. Even had a quick coffee stop which was John Levin's favourite coffee shop. Sushi meal in old market was a highlight. Yoshi was an attentive and knowledgeable guide. Thank you for such a great experience.

Show did an excellent job showing my family and I around the Toyosu and Tsukiji fish markets. We had a lot of fun and learned a lot of insightful things from him. Great person and tour guide!

This was a wonderful tour. Koji was wonderful and very patient with our group, there are so many things to see and experience on this tour we often got distracted. Tsukiji is large, busy, dense and so packed with things to see and do I would recommend having a guide and Koji was definitely one of the best guides we had in our three week stay in Japan.

Yoshi was absolutely amazing and very informative. He was friendly and great to chat to about everything! He knew the answer to every question about the markets I asked which was very helpful. We had a little time left so he showed me his favourite restaurants around when I asked. Cannot recommend this enough!

We had a great day of touring with Mr. Hakata. The tour to the new fish market was very educational and the old fish market was fun. But the highlight is taking the monorail seeing both the Tokyo bay and the downtown Tokyo. We definitely had a great time and enjoy the tour.
