Fish market and sushi making tour - Had a great time on the tour. The fish market was awesome to walk around, especially if you like cooking and seeing fresh fish, meats and vegetables. The sushi making was fun, and, of course, delicious. Glad we did this tour.

Amazing guides and tour! - We went on the Tsukiji fish market tour and sushi making class with Kei as our guide. The fish market was really interesting and Kei knew all of the best shops to take us to and had good - we did snack, dashi and tea tastings. As well as this, we went into the wholesale buildings and saw huge tuna. The sushi making class was even better - the sushi chef was fantastic and made the experience of preparing a breeze, he explained what each step was for and how best to eat the sushi. The fish used was extremely fresh and the meal was delicious. Overall, friendly guides and a great experience - highly recommend for anyone going to Tokyo. Arigato gozaimashita Kei san!

Great experience - Our guide Akiko was incredible. She was incredibly sweet and very knowledgable. At the fish market, she would point out stalls she recommended we try and we would ask if we should try certain foods at certain places and she'd give great suggestions. She was also really good about taking our pictures. From the fish market, we went to a sushi restaurant and learned how to make sushi. The staff didn't speak English but Akiko was a great translater for us and everyone there was so sweet. We got so much food and it was such a fun experience. I defintely recommend.

More about the sushi than the market - The tour was ok but it wasn’t quite what we expected with a focus on the sushi making with a short, slow walk around the outer fish market.
