Great tour learning about...

Great tour learning about Japanese traditions, local specialties and the Shibuya area with guide Hoshi. We had a variety of different types of Japanese dumplings, checked out the famous Shibuya Scramble and savored tuna prepared in several cooking styles as we walked through the bustling streets of Shibuya. Finished our tour with a traditional pancake with red bean filling! Great tour, tasty food and an awesome guide - Hoshi!

Delicious food tour

Thoroughly enjoyed this food tour. Yusuke was a great guide. He spoke excellent English, and was very good at engaging with the group and getting us to bond. He gave us insight into different types of Japanese food and drinks, including some regional specialties. There were many dishes at the 4 different venues and all were delicious. We sat and ate in 3 restaurants, and had a takeaway bite from another in the middle of the tour. Shinjuku is a lively area to see as it goes dark.

Yum and all of the Fun with at the Tokyo Tsukiji Fish Market

I didn't have a single bad bite at all. Our guide Eriko was so nice and thoughtful. She gave us a little bit of history, recommendations, and even helped us navigate the inner market for tastings not included on the official tour but we were able to purchase with yen (so bring cash!) We ended our tour with a special treat, seeing up close Chef Moritaya fileting a fresh tuna and then made our own seafood salad. A special thanks again to Eriko for curating a special experience at the Tsukiji Fish Market!

Awesome Tsukiji market tour

The tour was conducted by Nori and couldn’t have been better. He led us through the whole market place, shared information about various japanese foods with us and even showed us how to pray at a shrine. He was very attentive and asked the group what kind of food we’d like to try. He also showed interest in the group and we had some nice conversations. I can totally recommend this tour and want to highlight that Nori was an awesome guide.

We really enjoyed our day...

We really enjoyed our day touring Tokyo with our tour guide Asaka. We could not have had a better tour guide to help us explore this amazing city. This was our first visit to Toyko and we we were intimated by its size. Asaka was able to take us to many of the main attractions while helping us feel comfortable travelling on public transit. We learned and saw so much thanks to Asaka. And she provided us with great suggestions of places to explore on our own in the three days we had remaining in Tokyo. Thank you Asaka for making us feel so welcome. And thank you for sharing your knowledge and passion for your beautiful city.

Tokyo Tsukiji Fish Market Tour & Sushi Making class with Pro Chef

Silvia_C, Apr 2026

Great day exploring Japanese a food culture and making sushi!

The tour of the outer market was great! Shoko-san did a great job in helping navigate the busy streets, pointing out long standing businesses in the area, and encouraging to try some delicious local foods. She allowed enough time to do purchases and also consume the food while we were moving around the area. She has excellent English and knows the area very well. As for the sushi class, it was such a treat. We have the pro-chef teach us the right way to prepare the sushi with a food instructional demo before we made our own. There was also a very professional presentation and presenter that helped explain what we were doing and the ingredients we were using. The objective of the class was to learn how to form the sushi pieces, not making everything from scratch. The rice recipe and other useful materials were shared at the end of the class via QR code. Overall, it was a good half day spent knowing better about Japanese food culture, and being able to assemble and then enjoy the shushi we made during the course.

Tokyo Night Foodie Tour in Shinjuku - Seasonal Sushi, Wagyu Beef

Donald_M, Apr 2026

Better than your average food tour

We’ve done walking food tours in many cities but this was definitely a cut above the rest. Our excellent host, Hiro, took us first to a sushi restaurant to try a wide selection of fish and then to a BBQ restaurant where we cooked various cuts of wagyu under his supervision, finishing up with gelato under Godzilla’s watchful eye. Hiro was generous with his explanations of the history and traditions around both foods and we came away with a much better knowledge as a result. (We also compared the chances of Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 or Japan 🇯🇵 winning the ⚽️ World Cup in 2026!)

Tokyo: Tsukiji Fish Market Food and Walking tour

Martha_G, Apr 2026

A must do especially if you're a solo traveler

As a solo traveler, this such was a good decision. Yayoi, our guide, was very informative and helpful in explaining the food and interacting with the vendors on your behalf. It's hard when you don't know the language and you have no idea what they're selling. She was very kind when I told her I'd never eaten sushi before and asked if I wanted to just eat one piece to try. I took her up on her offer, she got me one piece, and very momentously, I ate it. I'm glad she offered because I didn't know I could just have one piece and she made it easy for me.

Nice local night out in Shibuya

Our guide took us to 3 very different local places that we would not have found otherwise. They offered a variety of different types of food and drinks and we enjoyed it all. We were stuffed and you could drink pretty much all you wanted. We had two others with us and the guide (sorry I am not great with names) and they were all great company. It was a nice night out in Shibuya.
