2.Tsukiji Fish Market Food and Walking tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,724 reviews · from $30

Join a small group of up to 10 for a two-hour walk through Tsukiji, beginning at Hongwanji Temple and continuing into the outer market. Guides such as Rie, Haydn, Jim, and Minori help you choose seafood, sushi, omelets, fruit, and street food, with dishes paid for separately.

“Was not a well organized tour. We booked a tour of the Tsukiji fish market, but our first stop on the tour was a temple and then the guide walked us over to the fish market area. The tour offered very little information on the history of the fish market and even less information on the daily going ons. We could have just walked the market on our own and probably learned more from that experience.”
