This private tour takes you to both Toyosu Market and Tsukiji Outer Market, two of the most important places to experience Tokyo’s food culture.
The experience usually starts early in the morning at Toyosu, where you can observe the famous tuna auction. From the viewing platform, you’ll see professional buyers inspecting and on high-quality tuna in a fast-paced environment. Access to the ground-level auction area depends on a lottery system, but the upper observation deck is always available.
After visiting Toyosu, the tour continues to Tsukiji Outer Market, known for its street food and small local shops. Here, you can walk through narrow alleys filled with vendors selling sushi, grilled seafood, tamago, mochi, and other Japanese specialties.
A key part of the experience is tasting fresh food, often including a sushi breakfast recommended by your guide. You’ll also have time to explore shops selling knives, ceramics, matcha tools, and traditional ingredients.
Because this is a private tour, the pace is flexible and adapted to your interests. The guide also explains how the market works, the role of seafood in Japanese cuisine, and how to choose quality products.
This experience is ideal if you want a mix of food, culture, and local insight in one of Tokyo’s most iconic culinary areas.
