Beyond the food, we visit the unique local religious sites that protect the market’s merchants.

🗓️ Sample Itinerary
While the location is set, the stops are not; your guide will tailor the route & pace to your group. Here’s an example of how the tour might go:
Start by walking through Tsukiji’s outer market stalls, sampling fresh seafood, street food and sushi as you go, and browsing the traditional knife and dishware shops tucked between the food stands.
From there, visit Namiyoke Inari Shrine, known locally as the market’s guardian shrine, before finishing at Tsukiji Hongwanji, a striking Buddhist temple with Indian-inspired architecture that feels worlds away from the market just outside.
Depending on your preference, you can either keep grazing street food throughout, or sit down for a proper meal along the way.

“Shaye was awesome! It was so helpful having someone to take us around to different spots in Kyoto. It saved us so much time and allowed us to get more background on the locations. Shaye and I also traded skin care tips and I left Japan with several of her product recommendations.”

“Our Tokyo tour with Leon was absolutely fantastic! His guidance led us through the city’s old and new aspects, imparting valuable skills like purchasing subway tickets and suggesting additional trips. Beyond all this, what we liked most was Leon himself: he’s friendly and really funny, he knows a lot about Japanese culture and traditions.”
