Behind the Story: Unveiling the Real Toyosu Market
Everyone in Japan knows the name Toyosu Market, yet very few have actually been inside since its relocation. Many international visitors arrive expecting a bustling, active fish market, only to leave disappointed when the public viewing areas offer little access to the real action behind the scenes.
This tour provides rare insider access by having you accompany a professional buyer who actually sources ingredients directly from the market. You'll witness the true heart of the market up close—an experience the general public typically cannot access. It's a unique chance to genuinely feel the pulse of Japan's largest fish market.

・Schedules may change due to weather conditions.
・Food and drink expenses during your Toyosu/Tsukiji food tour are at your own cost.
