Considering a Tsukiji Fish Market tour? If ever there was an adventure to be had in Japan it's in the country's incredible array of delicious food.
And, thanks to the worldwide love of sushi, everyone knows that fish holds a special place in the heart of the Japanese diet. The national home of that staple is the iconic Tsukiji Fish Market in Tokyo.

The famous inner market moved to Toyosu on 11th October 2018. So, tours will not visit the inner market (wholesale business area). Instead the tour will walk around Tsukiji outer market and Uogashi wholesaler market.
So, if you want to experience this amazing cultural and foodie tour yourself in its new location, now is the time to book!

I am looking for an English-speaking guide to give us a tour of the Tokyo fishmarket on the morning of Sunday, April 9. We can start early, but we need to be in Harajuku by 11 AM that day. We are a family of two adults, two teenagers and one child. Five people total. Do you have a guide that could do that tour for us?
Hi Perry – thanks for your question. I do not know a guide personally, but Viator and GetYourGuide both offer some excellent options for the Tokyo fishmarkets. Use the filters on both sites to refine the results (e.g. duration, which fish market, etc.).
