Can You Visit Toyosu Market and the Tsukiji Outer Market on a Private Tokyo Tour? A Guide's Report

I guided a group visiting Japan for the first time to Toyosu Market and the Tsukiji Outer Market. One of the guests enjoys sushi, and their favorite is medium-fatty tuna (chu-toro), so at Toyosu Market they watched with great excitement as many tuna were auctioned off one after another. The tuna auction viewing had been one of the top items on their sightseeing list, and they were very satisfied with it. At the Tsukiji Outer Market, I gave an overview of the shopping street, recommended several shops for tuna and tamagoyaki (rolled omelet), and then we parted ways on site.

Hi friends, I’m Seky, a tour guide in Tokyo, but I cover all over Japan, namely from Hokkaido to Kyushu. I have lived overseas for more than 15 years in total, such as US, UK, Singapore and others, and enjoyed local culture there. Back in Japan, I wish I could help travelers to Japan enjoy Japanese culture, and this is why I became a tour guide.
In Tokyo, my favorite places are Shibuya, Harajuku, Asakusa, and if you are interested in fish market, I’d love to take you to the world largest Tuna auction and/or if you are sports lovers, I’ll go to ball games (baseball) too.
