Discover the Heart of Tsukiji - It was a great tour. The Tsukiji Honganji Temple is a serene spot that blends Japanese spirituality and history. We then explored the Tsukiji Outside Market and enjoyed the unique flavors and crafts of the enthusiastic vendors. A visit to the Hakuyaku Inari Shrine was a sacred experience as we learned about its history and methods of prayer. At Tsukiji Fish Market, they witnessed fresh seafood being handled in a lively atmosphere and experienced the very essence of Tsukiji. The tour ended back at the temple with a renewed appreciation for Tsukiji and its artisans. I highly recommend this tour for its perfect mix of culture and energy!
