Food Adventures Japan’s food tours are designed so our guests can see, experience, and learn about a wide range of Japanese foods and things associated with food, especially the stories behind the Japanese dishes you already know or want to learn about.  The STANDARD/BASIC TOUR offers people a chance to learn about shopping for food (at the fish market as well as specialty shops and departments stores); what dashi is and what goes into it; a brief introduction to tea ceremony; a walk through Kappabashi, Tokyo’s kitchen and restaurant supply neighborhood, and more.  During the day we will snack on some traditional wagashi confections, and you will have your choice of what to eat for lunch (not included).  If you are interested in sushi breakfast we can go to one of the best sushi restaurants in Tsukiji (not included).  There is a moderate amount of walking on the tour, although this can be reduced if needed.  This is not a bar hopping drinking tour!

PRICE:

One person: ¥30,000

Two: ¥40,000

Three: ¥50,000

TIME: Meet at your hotel early enough to arrive at Tsukiji by 9:45, or so

Finish by 5:00 or 6:00. No two tours will be the same; people walk at different speeds and there will inevitably be unexpected things to see and experience.  But if you must finish by a certain time we will be sure to do so.

AVAILABILITY:

No Sunday tours: the Tsukiji fish market is closed.  It is often closed on Wednesdays as well, and also on all national holidays.

PAYMENT:

For the time being payment should be in cash (Japanese yen) at start of tour.
