We enjoyed!!!
We had a wonderful time - this is a beautiful area of the city. Kozi was a great guide! The temple was market were very interesting yet the gardens were so unexpected in this pocket of the city!
via Tripadvisor
Shin is great
Shin is an excellent guide!! We had a private tour that he adapted to what we wanted and we felt super comfortable with him at all times. I 100% recommend getting to know and touring Tsukiji with him and with this tour. As he said “a very nice experience with friendship” so we are leaving Japan with a new friend!!

Loved this foodie/history/gardeners dream tour
Guide was friendly, knowledgeable, had a great sense of humor and taught us so much about the history of the tsukiji market and the Buddhist temple and Shinto shrine in addition to the garden and tea house. Loved every minute of this tour, extremely valuable for the cost, would recommend and would be back to do it all over again next time!

Temple, Food Market and Royal Gardens
Very interesting tour with Fujii. He went out of his way to personalise the tour which was just for the 2 of us. He knew a lot about the Buddhist temples where we started and we enjoyed the food market and gardens.

Tsukiji Food Strolling and Hama Rikyu Garden Walking Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tokyo.
How much does Tsukiji Food Strolling and Hama Rikyu Garden Walking Tour cost?
+
Prices start at ¥4,000 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 Tsukiji Food Strolling and Hama Rikyu Garden Walking Tour take?
+
Plan for about 2.5 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 Tsukiji Food Strolling and Hama Rikyu Garden Walking Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 18 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 Tsukiji Food Strolling and Hama Rikyu Garden Walking Tour?
+
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 Tsukiji Food Strolling and Hama Rikyu Garden Walking Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Tsukiji Food Strolling and Hama Rikyu Garden Walking Tour?
+
Around 6 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 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Tsukiji Food Strolling and Hama Rikyu Garden Walking Tour 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 Best of Shinjuku: Izakaya Food Tour (3-4 Stops, 14+ Tastings), Tokyo: Asakusa Senso-ji Temple & Old Town Walking Tour, Matcha Making Class in Tokyo with Authentic Japanese Sweets Set. 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.
What is included in Tsukiji Food Strolling and Hama Rikyu Garden Walking Tour?
+
Included: Local tour guide; and Admission fee to Hama-rikyu Gardens (300 yen/pax). Not included: Lunch; and Snacks. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Tsukiji Food Strolling and Hama Rikyu Garden Walking Tour?
+
