Sushi Sukiyabashi Jiro Exclusive Omakase & Sushi Etiquette tour

3 hours

Your first day in Tokyo sets the tone for the rest of your trip. Rather than losing it to jet lag, summer heat, and unfamiliar train lines, this day is led by a local guide who travels with you by private car, shapes the pace and stops around your interests, and shares the everyday customs and manners that help Tokyo feel a little less foreign, right from day one. Your guide meets you at your hotel lobby and gives you a short briefing on the day ahead before you set off together. A typical day moves through the calm of Meiji Shrine, the energy of Shibuya Crossing, the contrast between Zōjō-ji Temple and Tokyo Tower, and the old Edo atmosphere of Asakusa — shaped around what you'd like to see. Along the way, your guide can introduce local food and, if you wish, a sake tasting, paid separately so you remain free to choose. You also leave with practical tips for the rest of your stay, from a friendly, knowledgeable local guide.

This activity allows you to visit many famous spots punctually and efficiently using public transportation. Food is another major highlight of Tokyo. You can savor fresh seafood, Wagyu beef, and other delicacies prepared with traditional Japanese culinary techniques. While Tokyo is the city with the most Michelin-starred in the world, you don’t have to dine at high-end establishments to enjoy delicious cuisine. High-quality meals are also available at lunchtime.

This tour is unique because normally you don't get to visit Toyosu Market with a local chef, and you can't cook fish purchased and selected by you in the most important fish market in the world. It is also unique because the chef who performs this activity is trained in Japanese and western Mediterranean cuisine, so it is even more attractive for every tourist to try these exotic, super fresh, and special fish the way they prefer.

Tokyo Enlightened

Our tour guide was truly one of the highlights of our trip to Japan.She was incredibly knowledgeable, thoughtful, and genuinely cared about making our experience special. What impressed us most was how she went beyond simply showing us the sights. My daughter is very interested in fashion, and our guide not only understood that interest but Juri was able to share fascinating insight into the evolution of Japanese fashion as well. She personalized the experience in a way that made my daughter feel especially engaged and made the tour memorable for us. Her knowledge of Japan, its history, culture, and traditions was exceptional, but it was her warmth, enthusiasm, and willingness to go above and beyond that really stood out. There honestly wasn’t anything Juri could have done better. She didn’t just give us a great tour, Juri made our trip to Japan better, and that is probably the best compliment we can give. We are incredibly grateful to have had her as our guide and would recommend her without hesitation.

Custom private day tour in Tokyo

For our family of four’s first time in Japan, we wanted an English-speaking guide to help us navigate and learn. Nagahori, set up a custom schedule of multiple sites based on our preferences and met us right at our hotel to make things super-easy. He was extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and prepared and took great care to make sure we were all having a great time, especially our children (10 and 13 yo). We especially enjoyed learning about Japanese religions and language. He was also a great photographer and put together a wonderful photo album so that we’ll be able to cherish the memories of our trip. We also got to try some delicious Gyudon that he helped us find (even after the first place was closed because of holiday). I would definitely recommend for any visitors to Tokyo.

Fantastic small group experience. Fun and very friendly guide Hiro who was already there 30 mins before the tour started. He was very welcoming and genuinely interested in all his group members. We got to experience top quality sushi we learned about the different types - the vegetarian option was really tasty too. Hiro explained the heritage of the Wagu Beef and provided a premium insight into the hype around this premium deluxe A5 brand of meat. The gelato was thd perfect way to cleanse the palate at the end of a wonderful evening. We were very lucky to have Hiro as our guide and to meet such lovely people in our group. Highly recommend this tour!

Good way to experience this bar area!

Our guide was truly great!! We had a nice small group and got to try a few different items and got some good information to start the next bit of our trip. I didn't love the area since the bars are so small.. but that just makes me extra happy I went with a guide!! I would have been overwhelmed on my own. This let me experience it all safely and with explanation!! Our group had a good time and went out after the guide went home.

It was a great tour with our guide Yoshio! It was more than just food sampling but there was plenty of very tasty treats. He started the tour with a visit to the Buddhist temple we met in front of. We also when to another shrine later in the tour. It was just our family group and he offered a nice break to cool down and have a refresher indoors (visited in July). He was very friendly and informative.

Fun and tasty afternoon

My 20 year old daughter and I did this tour during our first trip to Tokyo and it was one of our favorite activities! We met outside of a Buddhist temple and started with a short tour there. We then went into the fish market and learned about its history, as well of some the guide's favorite stalls. We had the time to purchase snacks before moving onto the class. Our class was led by Coco and an experience sushi chef. The chef demonstrated how to prepare fish for sushi, as well as sashimi. Plates with prepared fish and bowls of rice were set out for us and the chef walked through how to make different types of nigiri. Finally, we learned how to make a roll. We then got to eat our creations - delicious. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone who enjoys sushi!

Toshi tailors the tours to taste

Toshi is a very attentive tour guide. He communicates thoroughly before you start the tour, with exactly where to meet and what time to be there. He adheres to the Japanese Custom of arriving five minutes early. While meeting up with him, he made sure to confirm our dietary restrictions and also gauge our comfort level with certain foods before purchasing them or suggesting them. He also takes advantage of making small talk to ensure that the time is spent with engaging conversation and a bit of humor. One thing that we enjoyed was the pace. We did not feel rushed, and I got the impression that if we wanted to extend the tour, he would not proactively cut it short. One of the favorite things that we enjoyed was the quality of the picture he took of us. He really put effort into making sure that he not only captured you but the energy of the food market. When the Tour was ending, he would remember certain things that he offered to do, for example going with us to the subway station to buy tickets. Those things go a long way with me, especially coming from Los Angeles. The other thing that we liked was he made it clear that he did not want a tip or expect one. So we probably disrespected him by giving him a tip, but it was well deserved because we had a very good time.
