What you'll see and do
Tsukiji Hongwanji Temple
Tsukiji Hongwanji Temple is a Buddhist temple is unlike any other, especially in terms of its architecture. While the outside of the temple is reminiscent of South Asian and Indian traditional design, the inside adds even more to the mix. It has seen a deal of damage over the years. It burned down just 40 years after it was erected in 1617, and was destroyed again in the great 1923 earthquake. You will meet your tour guide at the main entrance of the temple then start to the tour. The tour does not include the tour of temple so please come earlier and see inside if you are interested in seeing it.

Such a wonderful experience exploring Tsukiji Market, discovering fresh Japanese ingredients, and making authentic Japanese dishes by myself. Travel is not just about seeing new places and tasting great food — it’s also about creating beautiful memories through new experiences. ❤️

Fabulous tour and fun sushi making
Wonderful market tour! Akiko has been a fabulous guide to uncover the marvels of Tokyo’s food market. It was so good that it felt way too short and we could have spent many more hours tasting and discovering incredible foods! The sushi class was also a lot of fun, really interesting to get the secrets to great sushi making! The whole family thoroughly enjoyed the experience and we’d warmly recommend it!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your words! We are so glad that you have experienced Japanese tradition throughout our tour. Hope to see you again in Japan!

AMAZING EXPERIENCE - Nono is the best!
We had Nono as our guide and she was super sweet!! We learned a ton about the fish market and the best places to get food there, which was really helpful as it can feel overwhelming since there’s so much. She also was an incredible teacher for the cooking class portion and had a lot of patience with us as we learned and was really encouraging and kind. We loved getting to make sushi, miso soup, and the egg roll with her and the food was delicious!! Thank you for a wonderful experience.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for joining us this time! We are more than happy to hear that you enjoyed the tour. We hope that this experience will lasts in your lifetime. Arigato-gozaimasu!

Why this scores 76
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Tokyo Tsukiji Fish Market Tour and Sushi Making Lesson: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tokyo.
How much does Tokyo Tsukiji Fish Market Tour and Sushi Making Lesson cost?
+
Prices start at $15000 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Tokyo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Tokyo Tsukiji Fish Market Tour and Sushi Making Lesson take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Tokyo is not rushed.
Is Tokyo Tsukiji Fish Market Tour and Sushi Making Lesson worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 422 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Tokyo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Tokyo Tsukiji Fish Market Tour and Sushi Making Lesson?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Tokyo Tsukiji Fish Market Tour and Sushi Making Lesson suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 9. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 3-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Tokyo Tsukiji Fish Market Tour and Sushi Making Lesson?
+
Around 148 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Tokyo can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Tokyo and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Tokyo Tsukiji Fish Market Tour and Sushi Making Lesson start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Tokyo within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Tokyo?
+
Tokyo is less a city than a stack of neighborhoods with completely different opening hours. A guided food crawl through Shinjuku's Omoide Yokocho gets you past the no-tourist curtains, while the day trips west to Hakone and Fuji need an early start to be worth the fare. Our ranking weighs guide quality heavily here, because in Tokyo the guide is the product. On Outty we rank every Tokyo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Tokyo Shinjuku Chopsticks Making Class, Tokyo : Asakusa Chopsticks Making Class, Shinjuku Night Food and Bar Crawl. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Tokyo?
+
Late March to May for blossom, October to November for clear Fuji views. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Tokyo?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
