Great combined tour - The tour was really good. Our guide Naoko was so nice and sweet. She showed us the stands with the most tasty food in the Tsukiji Market and gave us time to buy some things too. Then we went to the restaurant to learn how to make nigiris and they even did a fish cuting session. It was really nice. On the way to the restaurant Naoko even explained a bit of japan's history.

Like sushi? Must give this a go! - We did this tour on our last day in Japan after a 2 week trip. It was amazing. Our guide, Akiko was amazing. Supper knowledgeable, funny and so kind. She made the morning even before we tried our luck at making sushi. The sushi making class was fun and delicious. Highly recommend!
