Toyosu Market
Toyosu Market is one of the largest wholesale markets in Japan, which opened in 2018 after being relocated from Tsukiji Market. A tour course overlooking the Fisheries Wholesale Building and the Fruits and Vegetables Building has been developed within the market. Visitors can observe the vitality of the market and the people working there, and experience the dynamic nature of the huge market. On this tour, you will observe a tuna auction from a special deck. The sight of huge tuna from all over Japan and overseas is a spectacular sight. Visitors are fascinated by the serious competition between the auctioneers and wholesale brokers, who shout back and forth to each other. The auction is held in the early morning, so you need to get up early, but it is a worthwhile experience.

Tsukiji Fish Market
Tsukiji Market opened in 1935 and has supported Japan's food culture as ‘Tokyo's kitchen’, and even after its relocation to Toyosu Market in 2018, many shops continue to operate as the Tsukiji Outside Market, where you can enjoy specialities made from fresh ingredients such as sushi, seafood rice bowls and egg rolls. The lively atmosphere unique to the market still remains and is loved by tourists and locals alike. As a place that embodies the history of Japanese food culture, the Tsukiji Market is a special place that, together with the Toyosu Market, gives a sense of its evolution.

Tsukiji Hongwanji Temple
Tsukiji Hongwanji Temple is a temple of the Jodo Shinshu Honganji sect in Chuo-ku, Tokyo, originally built in Tsukiji in the Edo period (1603-1868), but rebuilt in 1934 after being damaged in the Great Kanto Earthquake. The main hall is built of stone, with large arched windows and an eye-catching dome roof. The design is modelled on ancient Indian temple architecture, giving it an exotic feel that is unusual for a Japanese temple. Furthermore, the front of the main hall is decorated with colourful stained glass, creating a space where tradition and modernity merge. Inside, a majestic statue of Buddha is enshrined, creating a solemn atmosphere, while the spaciousness of the hall makes visitors feel at home. The Tsukiji Hongwanji Temple is a special spot that combines exotic architecture and modern initiatives that are different from traditional temples, and combines historical value with new attractions.

New appreciation for Sushi!
This was a wonderful experience. Well worth the 4:00am meeting time. Moeka (our guide) was amazing and we learn so much.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your wonderful review. We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed the early morning tuna auction experience and your time exploring Toyosu and Tsukiji with Moeka. Starting the day at 4:00am is certainly early, but seeing the lively atmosphere of the market and witnessing the auctions up close is truly a special experience. We’re also glad you enjoyed riding the trains in Tokyo for the first time and learning more about Japanese market culture throughout the tour. Moeka will be delighted to hear your kind words. Thank you again for joining us, and we hope you enjoy the rest of your journey in Japan! Maru MY Travel Consulting Inc.

We hope to provide you a wonderful experience again soon. Warm regards, Maru

Why this scores 66
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Tuna Auction in Toyosu and Tsukiji Fish Market Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tokyo.
How much does Tuna Auction in Toyosu and Tsukiji Fish Market Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $70 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 Tuna Auction in Toyosu and Tsukiji Fish Market Tour take?
+
Plan for about 4.3 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 Tuna Auction in Toyosu and Tsukiji Fish Market Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 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 Tuna Auction in Toyosu and Tsukiji Fish Market 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 Tuna Auction in Toyosu and Tsukiji Fish Market Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4.3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Tuna Auction in Toyosu and Tsukiji Fish Market Tour?
+
Around 1 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 4.3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Tuna Auction in Toyosu and Tsukiji Fish Market 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 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.
