Taka was an amazing guide. - We were a family of six and had him all to ourselves. While there were fewer reviews compared to other tours, we booked this one because we didn't want any issues like not being able to hear the guide due to large group sizes. This tour was small, fun, engaging, and informative. Under Taka's guidance, there was so much to see, taste, and learn in a fantastic setting, and our experience at Tsukiji Fish Market was greatly enriched by his expertise. I highly recommend this tour.

Thank you, Seiya! - I was so happy to be able to explore the market with guide Seiya. He was kind and truly dedicated his time to connecting with us throughout the experience. Seiya showed great interest in getting to know our preferences and recommended foods we would truly enjoy from the many options available at the market. His English was very easy to understand, and it was the first time I was able to successfully communicate with a Japanese person during my visit to Japan. Thanks to his thoughtful guidance, this experience became personal and memorable. Thank you, Seiya, for the wonderful tour!

Stop searching! Choose this tour! - I highly recommend it with Seiya-san. He introduced not only the market and its food but also areas of Tokyo and Osaka. The sushi was exquisitely flavorful, and I don't think I’ll ever be able to eat California rolls from my home country again. By learning about the rich history of the market, I gained an even deeper appreciation for Japan's fresh and delicious food.

I'll come again in spring - Sakura was a delightful and friendly guide on our tour of the local markets. She was very knowledgeable, and her smile made the experience even more enjoyable. Under her guidance, we ate, drank, and had a great time. It was the perfect introduction to our stay in Japan. I highly recommend this tour and Sakura as your guide if you want to immerse yourself in Japan's culture and flavors.

Great tour! - Excellent tour! Sakura-San was so helpful and kind. Food choices were great, especially given our 11 year old picky eater (and we didn’t have to sacrifice our food interests either). We really enjoyed ourselves.

Great visit to market! - Lovely food and fun conversation with local. Market had some closure due to holiday but guide pivotted quickly and we had a nice time. She advised us what to try and it was a ton of fun. Lunch was fantastic.

Memories with a very kind guide - Ran was our guide for this tour and did a great job taking us to all the included destinations and activities. She was friendly, energetic, sociable, knowledgeable and made our time fun and informative. We experienced the culture and were introduced to amazing food at the market. Ran also provided great recommendations for purchases and helped other tour members find what they wanted on the market. This tour was definitely enriching and worth our time and money. Ran went above and beyond after the tour, driving me to the nearest station and making sure I got the correct ticket. It was a great trip, definitely recommended!

Fun tour with an expert guide - We had a wonderful experience! The small group made it enjoyable, and we got to sample a variety of foods. Our guide was knowledgeable about the market and spoke excellent English. We even received helpful tips for our stay in Japan! We've already booked ShibuyaSky and are excited for it.

I also booked a tour for another location. - Our guide was very kind and knowledgeable. There was another group besides us, but they covered us so we could talk to each other. I became friends with the people I met on this tour, and I decided to join the tour again in Shinjuku on a different day! We are planning to have Ran-san be our guide again.

Delicious fish, history, and a friend-like guide - We made a reservation because we wanted to eat fresh fish and enjoy a tour while learning about the history. Our guide, Lynn, was very knowledgeable and treated us like a friend, which left us with very fond memories.
