Highlights
- Tsukiji Hongwanji Temple - Tsukiji Hongwanji Temple is a Buddhist temple is unlike any other, especially in terms of its architecture. While the outside of the temple is reminiscent of South Asian and Indian traditional design, the inside adds even more to the mix. It has seen a deal of damage over the years. It burned down just 40 years after it was erected in 1617, and was destroyed again in the great 1923 earthquake.

Lovely way to spend a morning in Tokyo - Our family had a wonderful time on this tour. Our guide was lovely and thoughtful, pointing out different options of vendors to visit, based on our interests. The cooking class was just the right level for us - we learned enough techniques that I think we could pull off creating the sushi, japanese omelette and miso soup recipes. The cooking instruction was easy to follow and fun, and we created a lovely lunch for ourselves!

Fabulous Tokyo food experiences!! - The fish market tour was so much fun! Terrific sights and tastes. Midori was an amazing guide.
The cooking class was also very enjoyable and so much fun. I couldn’t believe how delicious the sushi and miso we made was! Hirano was a very patient and skilled instructor.

Enjoyable morning in Tokyo - The fish market was definitely worth a visit. Our guide showed us her favorite spots, and we wish we had eaten less breakfast so we could enjoy more samples there. We had some extra time so she showed us a nearby shrine as well. Then onto the cooking school just near the Imperial Palace. The class was well organized, and we made the rolled omelette in addition to sushi and miso soup, and then had a chance to enjoy what we had made. Tip: go early and visit the temple which serves as a meeting point for the tour, its very unique.

Best for groups - Super nice! The staff is really friendly and it’s a fun activity to do as a group. First a short guided tour of the local market which pushed us to try new things and better identify certain local products. Then head to the kitchen where we had fun making our own sushi... and eating them :P

A culinary walking tour - A walking tour in the market with lots of tastings and the best part is having a guide who explains to us all the things we tasted. And finishing with a cooking class on Japanese dishes. A great discovery.

Amazing! - Very fun and insightful walk through the Tsukiji Market with Akiko and Miho. They showed us some popular stands and shared many tasty samples with us.
Miwa was our lead chef who taught us how to make delicious sushi, omelet and hemari. Very memorable tour and class with wonderful hosts. I’d highly recommend to all.

Highly recommend - Amazing experience. We got to try a ton of things that we never would have thought to try at the market. Cooking class was great and was a pleasant surprise that we made more than just sushi.

I would do it again - This tour is lots of fun. It starts with a walking tour of the old fish market, which is a great experience. Then you make sushi guides by professional chefs. My only wish is that the kitchen was a little closer to the old fish market. Well worth it.
