This three-hour walking tour includes a visit to Toyosu Market where the morning tuna auction is observed from a public viewing area on the third floor. The auction time varies daily and entry to the auction floor is not permitted to maintain food safety. Participants meet their licensed English-speaking guide at a designated location in Tokyo or at Toyosu Market. After watching the auction, the tour continues to Tsukiji Fish Market, the former main fish market of Tokyo known for its wide variety of seafood and local food stalls. Guests have time to explore and sample foods here. Note that tours may not be available at Tsukiji during late December and early January due to holiday closures. The tour concludes at Toyosu Market, Tsukiji Market, or another agreed-upon location in Tokyo. Transportation to the meeting point and between markets is on foot, and no vehicle is provided. The guide provides information about the markets’ history and why many top chefs shop there daily. Participants can stay at the market after the tour to continue eating or shopping at their own pace.
