Enjoy an exclusive tour of the world-famous Tsukiji Fish Market led by an acclaimed chef

For our overseas guests, one of the most fascinating elements of their experience has been the tour of the Tsukiji Fish Market. Famous worldwide for being the largest seafood market in the world as well as one of the greatest in terms of scope and quality, Tsukiji is also regarded as a center for raising first class chefs in Tokyo, the city with the highest number of starred restaurants according to the 2010 Michelin Guide.

Tsukiji Fish Market has a rich history dating back to the early 17th century. Originally situated in the Nihonbashi area of Edo, it gained prominence as one of the largest and most renowned fish markets in the world. After the Great Kanto Earthquake in 1923, the market was relocated to its iconic location in Tsukiji. However, the market has since experienced a partial relocation. Up until 2018, the Tsukiji fish market consisted of two parts: the inner market (for wholesalers open mainly to only professionals) and the outer market (hosting various exquisite seafood restaurants). Eventually, concerns regarding outdated infrastructure prompted the inner market to move to the Toyosu Market, whereas the outer market remains in Tsukiji. Toyosu was designed to cater to the evolving needs of the seafood industry, providing a more modern and spacious facility.

The wholesale market of Tsukiji Market, which was also known as the "inner market" and was famous for its tuna auctions, closed in October 2018 and moved to a new site in Toyosu. However, the Tsukiji outer market, with its many shops and restaurants, did not close and still remains in business. Tsukiji Market is believed to be one of the best locations in Tokyo to enjoy fresh seafood as most of the fish served at Tsukiji Outer Market is delivered directly from Toyosu Market. We invite you to visit Tsukiji with a knowledgeable guide to experience the wonders of professional seafood.

We would like our guests to be able to get a taste of what the Tsukiji Fish Market is really like, and so we have prepared an exclusive tour with an expert sushi chef, who will accompany you into parts of the market normally off-limits to outsiders and also experience how chefs selects fish and kitchen products.
