Tokyo Tour: Discover the Best of Tsukiji Outer Fish Market!

The Tsukiji Outer Fish Market, established in 1935, remains a lively hub of Tokyo’s culinary heritage. 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 food tour begins at the Honganji Temple and takes you deep into the heart of Tsukiji’s vibrant fish market. 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 personalised recommendations to help you experience Tokyo like a local. This tour can also be combined with the private Japanese tea ceremony. Please send a request to get more details.
