Title: What's a Private Toyosu and Tsukiji Market Tour with Tuna Sushi Breakfast Like? A Licensed Guide's Report

I guided guests visiting from North America to Toyosu Market and the Tsukiji Outer Market. They found the tuna auction very interesting and wished to have tuna sushi for breakfast, so they enjoyed a full tuna feast at the Tsukiji Outer Market. They tasted otoro, chutoro, and akami, and were especially impressed by the chutoro that seemed to melt in the mouth, telling me it was the best sushi they had ever eaten. We took a short break at a coffee shop, and when I talked about John Lennon, they purchased a T-shirt from the shop as a souvenir.

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.
