Overview
The perfect tour for all of you foodies out there!
This tour allows some time to explore one of Japan's most elegant shopping districts.
If you think Pike's Place Market in Seattle is impressive, you haven't seen anything yet! Handling over 2,000 tons of marine products per day, the Tsukiji Fish Market offers a wide variety of sights, sounds, and smells that will capture your senses and invigorate your day. With a guide by your side the whole way, you will start by exploring the wholesale area which represents the main hub for buyers and sellers. As trucks whiz by with hawkers shouting at the top their lungs, you will develop a new appreciation of this historic trade that has greatly shaped the area. By the time you arrive, most of the local workers have already been there for 5 hours!
The outside market is where the portions are a little more appropriate for your appetite and this is the perfect place to track down some local delicacies. Endless stands of fish, vegetables, spices, and sushi provide an inside scoop in to how the locals prepare meals in an area where seafood reigns supreme. Many people say that you haven't had a true Tsukiji Fish Market experience until you have indulged in a sushi breakfast, so weigh your options as you peruse the aisles!
