Arrival at Tsukiji Market
Short 7-5 minute walk into the Outer Market. I’ll give a brief history.

Fresh seafood sampling
Stroll the main alleys to watch seafood displays and sample small tastings (sashimi, hand rolls, shellfish) from trusted vendors. I’ll explain fish names, seasonality, and safe-eating tips. (Many stalls sell ready-to-eat portions.

Visit a traditional knife / utensil shop and show how Japanese kitchen knives and tools are selected and cared for.

Quick sit-down sushi / recommended counter
If you’d like, we’ll stop at a small sushi counter or seafood restaurant for a recommended quick bite (1–2 pieces) or tea. I’ll suggest dishes based on your preferences and help order if needed. (Note: restaurants can be busy — I’ll choose a low-wait option.)

The tour with Mido was simply wonderful. Not like being with a guide, but like being shown around the city by a friend. Entertaining, exciting, and also educational. We immediately got along and had an absolutely great time. For anyone who wants to get to know Tokyo off the beaten tourist path, a tour with Mido is a must. Full marks—highly recommended!

“Hiring a relaxed friend for an adventure ”
I can’t say enough good things about Mido. He gave me the opportunity to see 300% more sights than if I’d tried on my own. He was a laid-back knowledgeable local with a no-pressure attitude about exploring. Mido is really good at this type of work, and it’s clear with the way he treats you and talks to you.

4. Enjoy Japanese casual meals
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.
