Meeting Point

Tsukiji Hongan-ji Temple

- We meet at the entrance of Tsukiji Hongan-ji, beside the large stairs. I’ll be waiting on the left side. Meeting at your hotel may be possible depending on location. Please ask in advance. Tsukiji Hongan-ji is a unique Buddhist temple with an uncommon architectural style, blending Japanese and Western influences.

Tsukiji Outer Market and food tasting

One of Tokyo’s most famous markets, Tsukiji Outer Market offers a lively and immersive food experience. As we walk through its narrow streets, I introduce the history of Tsukiji and its role in Tokyo’s food culture today.

You’ll have the opportunity to try specialties that interest you along the way. Food and drinks are not included, and guests pay directly at each stall. I’ll recommend quality vendors, explain different dishes, and assist with ordering if needed.

If you have dietary restrictions — including vegetarian or vegan preferences — I’m happy to help you find suitable options. Please let me know in advance so I can guide you more smoothly.

In addition to food, we also browse local shops selling tea, Japanese knives, ceramics, and kitchen tools, while I share practical tips about ordering and local food etiquette.

About Tour Guide Rodrigo S.

English

Hello! My name is Rodrigo, and I am a Brazilian guide who has been living in Japan for over six years.

My tours focus on creating experiences through walking tours. We explore different neighborhoods, visit markets, enjoy local food, go shopping, and experience everyday Japanese life in a natural and relaxed way.

All itineraries are flexible and adapted to each guest’s interests, whether that includes food, shopping, culture, neighborhoods, traditions, or daily life in Japan.

I help with language barriers, local etiquette, customs, transportation, and everyday situations that can be confusing for visitors.

I have a strong passion for sports and offer sports-focused experiences, such as running routes around Tokyo. We can explore the city through parks, riversides, and local areas. I also guide hiking and trail experiences near Tokyo, for example, Mount Takao.

I speak Portuguese and English and would be happy to guide you during your visit to Tokyo.

Português

Olá! Meu nome é Rodrigo e sou um guia brasileiro que vive no Japão há mais de seis anos.

Meus tours são focados em criar experiências por meio de walking tours. Exploramos diferentes bairros, visitamos mercados, experimentamos a comida local, fazemos compras e vivenciamos o cotidiano japonês de forma natural e tranquila.

Os roteiros são flexíveis e adaptados aos interesses de cada visitante, seja gastronomia, shopping, cultura, bairros, tradições ou a vida diária no Japão.

Ajudo com a barreira do idioma, etiqueta local, costumes, transporte e situações do dia a dia que podem ser confusas para visitantes.

Sou apaixonado por esportes e ofereço experiências esportivas, como percursos para correr em Tóquio. Podemos explorar a cidade passando por parques, margens de rios e áreas locais. Também guio trilhas e caminhadas nos arredores de Tóquio, por exemplo, o Monte Takao.

Falo português e inglês e será um prazer te acompanhar durante sua visita a Tóquio.
