Tokyo Private Walking Tour Tsukiji Kept Secrets

Four hundred years ago, Tsukiji was a stormy stretch of open water. Legend says a prayer to the sea calmed the waves, clearing the way for a shogun to reclaim the land. Fishermen from Osaka built the area, and the food they created out of necessity still shapes what you’ll taste today. While the wholesale market moved to Toyosu in 2018, Tsukiji’s outer market remains. Sample the street food that helped make this one of Tokyo’s most famous food destinations, while discovering the small shrines and hidden histories woven into the neighborhood. With a local expert, connect Tsukiji’s land, faith and food through stories most visitors miss. As a completely private tour, the experience is yours to shape. Linger at a shrine, follow your nose down a side street, or ask the questions guidebooks skip.
