Tsukiji & Toyosu Market Local Food Tour — Guide Mina

Solo Private Tour of Toyosu Market, Tsukiji, and Kappabashi in Tokyo: A Licensed Guide's Report

Today I guided one of the guests on a private tour. We started the morning at Toyosu Market, where we viewed the tuna auction from the visitors' observation deck. Afterwards, the guest enjoyed breakfast at a sushi restaurant, and I also showed them several shops inside the intermediate wholesale market building. The guest showed strong interest in the fresh seafood and specialty food ingredients. Next, we moved to Tsukiji, where we first saw the tuna after it had been broken down at Tsukiji Uogashi, then walked around the outer market. The guest became interested in some pottery seen in the outer market and expressed a wish to see other similar shops. So after guiding them to Sensoji Temple, we headed to Kappabashi Kitchen Town, where the guest took their time enjoying shopping, focusing mainly on pottery and cooking utensils.

Tour Report by Mina

As a passionate traveler, I’ve explored many countries and always enjoyed meeting people from different backgrounds, discovering new cultures, and sharing meaningful moments.

In recent years, I’ve come to appreciate my own culture more.

Having lived in Tokyo for over 20 years, I’m still fascinated by how the city constantly changes, blending fresh energy with deep-rooted traditions. From its vibrant streets to quiet temples, from seasonal flavors to historical crafts, there’s always something that inspires me here.

I would love to share the beauty and depth of Japan with you.

Let’s make lasting memories together.
