Description
It is said that breakfast is the most important meal which helps you get ready for the day. Isn’t it a great idea to have some breakfast before you start exploring the market? After enjoying an early breakfast, taking an easy, relaxing stroll around the market might be a good option to get some exercise. You can enjoy watching the energetic and friendly people working there. They sell a large variety of stuff including fish, seafood, fruit, and other well-selected domestic foodstuffs.

Amber was a gorgeous guide on our tsukiji market tour recently - could not have been more informative or charming. We loved everything we saw and tried and the stand up sushi at the end was a true highlight - unmissable. Though the market is understandably becoming a bit of a tourist trap , we still felt it was a tour with doing and meeting Amber was a highlight

Although it was quite hot the guide Chisato gave us ample break time and took us to cool spots to try out local Japanese snacks. She showed us temples and gave us a little history too. All in all a fun tour.
