What Is a Private Tsukiji Outer Market Tour in Tokyo Like? A Licensed Guide's Report
The guests were a group visiting from Europe. First, I guided them to the Tsukiji Outer Market. At the outer market, we walked around and visited various shops, and at the Tsukiji Uogashi food court we sat down to enjoy cola and beer, while one of the guests who was hungry enjoyed a tendon rice bowl. They seemed to have already had breakfast, and mentioned they would like to come back again on another day. After that, we toured the intermediate wholesale market at Tsukiji Uogashi, and since they wanted to walk around the outer market once more, they enjoyed Yubari melon, strawberry candy, and strawberry daifuku at a shop. As one of the guests was interested in kitchen knives, we looked at knives at shops such as a specialty knife store. Some of the guests also purchased Japanese plates and other items. Regarding the tuna auction at Toyosu Market, I explained that you need to go around 5:30 in the morning to see it, but that the viewing area itself could be seen. They then said they wanted to purchase Shinkansen tickets at the Marunouchi North Exit of Tokyo Station, so I took them to the JR East Ticket Center at the Marunouchi North Exit. It was around 10:40, and since they said they would enjoy the rest of the day on their own, I ended the tour.

We had an absolutely wonderful day with Fumiko and Nino. We saw all the sights we wanted to see in Tokyo. Nino was able to move us efficiently through the city dropping of at the various sights and picking us up without waiting! Nino’s vehicle was comfortable and absolutely spotless. Fumiko reach out to us via email and made up an itinerary that was perfect for our time schedule she is a true professional! We highly recommend this tour and you could not find a better guide and driver combination than Fumiko and Nino.

We had a great time on our tour. Our guide, Fumiko, was very good. She contavted us about two weeks before the tour so she could customize the activities. She was incredibly helpful during all of the planning. She met us at our meering poit with a sign that had identified her, which made the start of the tour easy. Thw tour itself was awesome. She gave good insight about all the locations that we visited. I highly recommend her for any tours.

Don’t visit Tokyo without a guide! You’ll need help to find the good restaurants and interesting spots.
We had a tour with Ms. Fumiko. She was a both knowledgeable and nice guide. She even contacted us days beforehand to design the tour to meet our specific needs and wishes. Much appreciated!
