Wagashi Market Tours

We had a very good time on the tour, our guide knew about the market and how it works. We had a chance to try all kinds of different foods from sweets to different fish.

The tour was great. Tsujiki is a chaotic and confusing place. Chizeki was very interesting and informative, and his English is very good

Our tour was a perfect way to visit Tsukiji, with a friendly guide (we had Sandra) who knew the ins and outs of the market, and insight on some great treats we wouldn't have known about! We left the tour with full bellies and awesome memories. Highly recommended!

Although it's a seemingly steep price, with Josh expertly guiding us through and him and the teams willingness to facilitate for our dietary requirements, having the onus taken off yourself to explore and figure things out is incredibly helpful. It's absolutely worth it if you're tired of navigating alone or if you'd like a better insight to the market than what you could get on your own.

Wow, Lauren is so well versed in all things Japan! She does an amazing job explaining things and sharing lots of insights about the culture and history while also bringing you to lots of spots for food and drink. She is attentive to her guest and was impressive every step of the way. This was well worth everything, and we will remember this for the rest of our lives!

This tour was the first of four activities that I have booked with this outfit as part of my staycation plan during COVID. My guide Kaori contacted me before the tour to confirm our meeting place and as well to offer answering any questions. Upon meeting her, I felt that it was going to be a fun and easy-going day. She asked me for preferences and if I had been in the area before so to create a plan that would meet my expectations. Kaori answered questions clearly, provided detailed information and was open to my interests. The tour is packed with a lot of eating for the four hours. I suggest to not eat before the tour. Maybe do more street food (not all for the typical kinds) rather than two sit-down venues? All food was delicious. We zigzagged the market while Kaori explained culture, language, sites, and history. She was very open in providing translation to help me purchase some items. She actively and joyfully participated in helping make the best selection. I don’t know that I will find the same locales again - maybe a cheat sheet at the end with the recommenced eateries would help - but I look forward to my next visit to the market. I definitely recommend the tour. I also recommend to select a day outside of the weekend and avoid the crowds - unless, that’s part of your fun. We found that merchants had more time to chat with us, too. Kaori was great and I felt she was a friend-of-a-friend who took care of me! Thanks, Kaori!

A must do if you're a foodie! We were really lucky to have Asami as our guide on the Tsukiji breakfast food tour. She was incredible, great energy and an all round very nice person! Asami was very knowledgable about all the goings on in Tsukiji. The tour starts having a coffee (one of the best I've ever had) and finishes eating really delicious sashimi. I can't recommend it enough especially if you're a lover of seafood and fish!! - I also added on the option of buying a Japanese knife. Gotta find some awesome fish back home because I bought an amazing carbon steel sashimi knife!

Our tour was with Michie and we had a wonderful time. Initially we were quite intimidated by Tsukiji so it was perfect being able to have someone who could guide us through the market and show us delicious food! We sampled some foods like mochi, toro, uni (in the shell) and blowtorched scallops. There a lot of interesting things in the market so it was great having Michie there to introduce what everything was. She brought a folder with pictures which helped to explain the foods that caught our curiosity, eg. wagyu beef. Having Michie as our guide definitely enriched our experience in Tsukiji market.

This tour gave a fantastic introduction to the history and culture of Japan as well as Japanese food. The outer market of Tsukiji still has amazing food with lots of surprises! Not only delicious fish and seafood. Kay was helpful and a great navigator, she made this experience definitely unforgettable!
