The Tsukiji Outer Market, established in 1935, remains a lively hub of Tokyo’s culinary heritage. Originally supporting the fish auctions, it grew into a network of over 400 shops and eateries. After the wholesale market moved to Toyosu in 2018, the Outer Market preserved its charm, offering fresh seafood, traditional ingredients, street food, and kitchenware. Its narrow alleys and family-run stalls blend modern flavors with the spirit of old Tokyo. This tour begins at the unique Honganji Temple and takes you deep into the heart of Tsukiji’s vibrant market. With over three years of living here and connections through my wife, who grew up in the area, I’ll guide you to hidden spots and local favorites. We’ll visit the historic Namiyoke Inari Shrine, stroll through narrow alleys, and savor some of the freshest sea-and street-food Japan has to offer. Along the way, I’ll share stories of the market’s past and offer personalized recommendations to help you experience Tokyo like a local.
