★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 757 reviews · 3 hours · from $96

Review of Tokyo’s Tsukiji food tour, with Wagyu, sushi, market culture, guide tips, pricing, accessibility, and booking advice.

“Great tour! The guide was amazing and the food was incredible. We did 830 on Saturday morning (it was drizzling rain a bit) and it was very crowded, so if you can, I recommend mid week. We had a great time tasting all the food and the presentation from the Chef at our last stop. Our guide even explained a lot of history, we met at a Shinto shrine and were able to do the cleansing ceremony before the tour. He also explained a lot about the market food and helped us pick out the right tea to bring home!”
