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

[Japan Guide Agency (JGA Inc.)](https://www.j-g-a.org/) guide led a private tour for a group visiting from North America, taking them to see the tuna auction at Toyosu Market, followed by a visit to the intermediary wholesalers' market and a stroll through the Tsukiji Outer Market.

One of the guests, who loves fishing, was thrilled to see so many kinds of fish. At the Tsukiji Outer Market, the guests bought the famous tamagoyaki (rolled omelet) and a pack of chopped Oma tuna at a seafood shop, and everyone enjoyed them together at the food court on the third floor of the fish market. As the guests wished to continue exploring the outer market, we parted ways on-site rather than returning to the hotel.

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.
