Itinerary

  • Toyosu Market

    Toyosu Market (č±Šę“²åø‚å “, Toyosu Shijō) opened on October 11, 2018 on the man-made island of Toyosu in the Bay of Tokyo. It took over the wholesale business from the aging Tsukiji Market and provides tourists with an opportunity to observe the market action and to dine at restaurants across its large, modern premises. The huge wholesale market consists of three main buildings: two buildings for seafood and one for fruits and vegetables. All buildings are connected with each other and Shijo-mae Station via walkways, and tourists can enter them along dedicated routes and view the action from observation windows that look onto the auction and wholesale halls for tuna, other seafood and produce.

    2 hours

  • Tsukiji Fish Market

    Meet up with your guide at Tsukiji Honganji Temple, just outside the marketā€™s main gate, in the morning. As you navigate your way through this labyrinth of all things seafood, learn from your guide about the marketā€™s history and why many Japanā€™s top chefs visit here daily to pick up the freshest-quality ingredients. You never know what you might find as you stroll past the stalls of this amazing food center. You might see piles of sea urchin (uni) stacked neatly in boxes, watch as vendors carve massive Bluefin tuna or spot puffer fish floating in tanks.

    1 hour

  • Ameyoko Shopping Street

    One of the favorite pastimes of many a visitor to Japan is going on a souvenir shopping spree, hauling in as many amazing goods and deals as possible. In Ginza, people shop for high-end and trendy fashion in its many department stores and high-class duty free shops, while Shinjuku is known for its abundance of massive electronics retailers ā€“ Tokyo offers many a shopping spree hot spot.

    30 minutes

  • Senso-ji Temple

    Sensoji Temple is one of the most famous temples in Japan. It looks back on a 1,300 year-long history and is also famous for its entrance gate called Kaminarimon which stands out through its large red lantern. Sensoji itself is not the only reason why you should visit the area. The oldest shopping street in Japan, called Nakamise Dori is located beyond Kaminarimon and leads to the temple's main hall. On Nakamise Dori you can buy traditional Japanese craft items as well as delicious snacks such as fried mochi (glutinous rice cakes).

    30 minutes

  • Nakamise Shopping Street (Kaminarimon)

    Nakamise is the most famous shopping street in Asakusa. The street runs for 250 meters on the main approach to Sensoji Temple and is lined on both sides with shops selling traditional souvenirs, snacks, and sweets. This street is actually on temple property and so it starts and ends with a temple gate: at the southern end is the outer gate of Kaminarimon, and at the northern end is the inner gate of Hozomon. Between these two gates are 89 shops, with 54 shops on the east side, and 35 shops on the west. ā€œNakamiseā€ is a traditional name given to shopping streets on the grounds of temples or shrines, so this is not the only ā€œNakamiseā€ in Japan, but it is one of the oldest and most famous.

    30 minutes

  • Kappabashi Street (Kappabashi Dogugai)

    Kappabashi Street (ć‹ć£ć±ę©‹é“å…·č”—, Kappabashi Dōgugai) is a shopping street between Ueno and Asakusa, which is lined with several dozens of stores selling everything needed by restaurant operators, with the exception of fresh food. You will find specialized stores for dishes, pots, pans, cooking utensils, stoves, tables, chairs, signs, lanterns and more. There are also a few stores which sell plastic and wax food samples, used by many restaurants in their show windows.

    30 minutes

  • Tsukishima Monjya Street

    Monjayaki is a liquid-y, hot, admittedly unattractive dishā€”but, once you get over looks and into substance, youā€™ll forgive its appearance and dive in. A thin batter made with flour and dashi (Japanese stock) forms the base, and with myriad combinations of toppings thereā€™s something for everyone. If youā€™ve never tried itā€”either intentionally like me, or through not knowing it existedā€”thereā€™s only one place to go in Tokyo, and itā€™s literally called Monja Street.

    30 minutes

  • Yanaka Ginza Shopping Street

    One of best shopping streets in Tokyo, with the well-remained old town ā€œShitamachiā€ atmosphere. Explore the nostalgic side of Tokyo through Yanaka Ginza Shopping Street! Yanaka (č°·äø­) is a quiet neighbourhood in Taito ward, east Tokyo. The area is known as old-town district (Shitamachi in Japanese) where nostalgic and rustic vibes are well remained. Yanaka can be accessed from Ueno easily and itā€™s in a walking distance from Ueno Park. Yanaka is a residential and low-key commercial district where many locals live, and old shops and buildings gather. Yanaka Ginza (č°·äø­éŠ€åŗ§) is localsā€™ favourite place to shop, eat and hang out with neighbours. Itā€™s the most lively part of the district where visitors can feel the true vibes of local activities.

Great experience

Published on Dec, 2024

Our guide Yoshi was great! The tour was a lot of fun and Yoshi was very informative. We learned a lot on the tour and we even got to see a really nice garden since we had extra time!

A Must-Do tour of the Tsukiji and Toyosu Markets

Published on Nov, 2024

We had a fabulous experience with our guide, Masatoshi Fujii, and were able to see the wholesale, retail and consumer markets, as well as the former Tsukiji Market and learn so much about them. All of this would have been difficult to have done without him. And, he was a pleasure to be with.

A great visit in Tokyo

Published on Nov, 2024

Excellent program that we elaborated with our guide Kensi. We went to the Tokyo tower and the Hama-Rikyu garden and then to the fish market. Kensi gave also a lot of indications and advise in view of our future visits . Very nice and friendly. A very good experience.
