This is an invitation to a tasty and lively food experience at the No. 1 market, Tsukiji. The place is a treasure trove of delicious seafood, so let's sample some of the ’catch of the day’, sold fresh or skewered and grilled at the store front!

Tsukiji Market

Tsukiji market stands at the pinnacle of seafood supply for the Tokyoites, with the supreme quality and diversity of goods sold. It has a reason: Tsukiji was the world's No.1 fish and vegetables market until 2018, when its wholesale section was moved to Toyosu. The retail section and a part of the wholesalers remained in Tsukiji, and the place is bustling with ordinary customers and professionals as before. Ideal place to have sushi or sashimi!

11:00 AM

Namiyoke Shrine, Tsukiji

We cannot end this tour without a visit to Namiyoke Shrine, which has been the guardian shrine of Tsukiji for more than 350 years ever since the land around this place was reclaimed from Tokyo Bay. The strong ties between the shrine and the market are well reflected in the peculiar monuments that are found in the shrine precincts.

11:30 AM

Either ①stay on in Tsukiji, or ②visit Ginza, or Tsukiji Hongwanji Temple

After the visit to Namiyoke Shrine, you have several options:

①stay a little longer in Tsukiji for shopping/lunch. I will show you some good shops/restaurants. (Please note that lunch is NOT included in the itinerary, so once you are happily settled, that will be the end of the tour.)

②head to a nearby tourist spot, such as Ginza or Tsukiji Hongwanji Temple. Ginza is Tokyo's most expensive and elegant shopping district just two stations away from Tsukiji. If you would like to find a very special souvenir, this might be the place to look for. Instead of Ginza, we can visit Tsukiji Hongwanji Temple, a Buddhist temple located just across from the Tsukiji market. The architectural style of the Main Hall is very unique, having an ancient Indian style exterior and a traditional Japanese style interior, with a touch of Western influence.

About Tour Guide Keiko O.

Hello! I’m Keiko.

The memories of travels are somehow linked with foods: I absolutely agree with this. How about you? Travel and food are the two things I love, and I would be delighted to share my passion with you!

Before becoming a government licensed guide, I worked for 40 years as a bank manager. Throughout my career, I was always in contact with overseas, communicating with many people from across the world. Also, I lived in London for 3 years and went to elementary school there. Having such a background, I naturally became very much interested in cross-cultural exchange. Whenever I travel abroad, I always try to experience local culture, because it gives me a chance to encounter many interesting things.

As a guide, I wish to not only introduce the beauties and wonders of Japan, but also to take you on a first-hand experience tour of our country, especially focusing on Japanese culinary culture. It will be nice if you can take home what you experienced here and enjoy cooking Japanese dishes in your county – a lasting souvenir! My 40 years’ experience in traditional Japanese kaiseki cuisine might be helpful here.

Come and explore Tokyo with me!

Reviews

A special day with a very special guide!

We hit the jackpot with a last minute booking with Keiko a fabulous guide for Tokyo. When we mentioned our desire for all things food related she took charge and didnt disappoint! Our tour began at the Tsujiki food market and today it was life changing is an understatement. Keiko masterfully guided us through the hundreds of stalls and shops making for the most memorable food experience we’ve ever had. We learned so much and saw things we would have never been able to see or experience on our own. The rest of our tour was also spectacular highlighting various shrines and temples. Keiko answered all of our questions and even helped us purchase train tickets for our future travels. We loved our time with Keiko and highly recommend booking her time for a special tour of Tokyo!

Jennifer-san, Howard-san, Jack-san and Lauren-san, thank you very much for walking all day long with me. The pleasure was mine, because I love guiding especially when I am with guests with special interest in food! You encouraged me by saying 'we never say NO!', which rang happily in my ears! I hope you are having a fruitful time in Japan, and that you would come back again sometime in the not-too-distant future! Keiko

Great tour of the fish market!

Kieko walked us through the fish market and showed us to different stalls and we tried a bunch of food. Couldn’t have imagined the same experience without her! Really great experience

Sarah-san, thank you very much for taking your limited time to do a market tour with me. It would have been nicer if all the shops were open, but I hope you could feel the vigor and charm of the place that attracts so many people. I wish you a fruitful and enjoyable stay!

I will take you to 3 izakayas (Japanes Bars) that Japanese usually go in Shinjyuku.

I can recommend you delicious foods & drinks and order it for you, so you can take the stress out of language barriers. Also during the bar hopping, I can show you nice places in Shinjyuku.

You want to experience Izakaya like locals? Are you a little reluctant to drink in Shinjuku Kabukicho or the youth town of Shibuya? If so, I recommend Ginza, Yurakucho area! The area has some different profiles. There are deep izakaya alleys underneath the JR railways that retain a postwar atmosphere and also high-end streets where the district became first westernized after the Edo period. You can enjoy 2 very different types of drinking spots while touching about the history.

It should be one of the real trills to enjoy the local foods. This tour offers you an experience of Japanese casual breakfast, lunch, and dinner. To know local foods is to understand the local culture. I, the certificated national tour guide, bring you to three casual restaurants for breakfast, lunch, and dinner respectively. You can enjoy the tour at a reasonable price.
