This three-hour walking tour in Tokyo begins outside Tsukiji Hongwanji Temple, where participants meet the English-speaking guide. After a brief introduction, the group spends about five minutes at the temple entrance, but the tour does not include entry inside the temple. Next, the tour continues with a one-hour walk through Tsukiji Outer Fish Market. Visitors explore various seafood and local food vendors, learning how to enjoy the market, which no longer includes the inner wholesale section due to Tokyo government restrictions. After the market visit, transportation is provided to ABC Cooking Studio, the largest cooking school in Japan. There, participants take part in a 90-minute sushi making lesson led by skilled instructors. Aprons and drinking water are supplied during the class. After preparing sushi, guests eat their own creations for lunch. The tour does not include watching the tuna auction or hotel pickup and drop-off. After the cooking lesson, it is a short walk to Tokyo Station, Ginza, and the Imperial Palace for those who wish to continue sightseeing independently. The tour requires a minimum of two guests, is suitable for ages nine and older, and does not allow strollers or luggage. Ingredients used in the sushi lesson may vary by season and availability, and participants can request alternative ingredients if needed.

Tsukiji Hongwanji Temple
The tour begins at the main entrance of Tsukiji Hongwanji Temple, which features architecture influenced by South Asian and Indian styles. The temple was first built in 1617 but suffered damage several times, including a fire 40 years after its construction and destruction during the 1923 earthquake. The tour does not include entry inside the temple, so visitors interested in the interior should arrive earlier.
