This tour is designed by a professional guide who visits the market almost every day. Our team will provide high-quality guidance on the market.
At Toyosu Market, the world’s largest seafood trading hub, you’ll witness the famous tuna auction and learn about the market’s inner workings and seasonal ingredients. The tour is packed with stories only locals know—things you won’t find in guidebooks. We’ll also introduce you to the best shops for buying kitchen tools like Japanese knives and ingredients like matcha and katsuobushi. Want to enjoy sushi during the tour? We’re happy to take you!
■Lottery for tuna auction observation
This is optional. We can tell you how to register for the lottery of the tuna auction observation. If you want to see from the 1st floor, please reserve your tour by the 5th of the previous month. (Please don't forget that you still need to register for the lottery!) If you lose the lottery, we can still see the tuna auction from the 2nd floor.

5.00My son and I really enjoyed the fish market tour. Our guide, Nobby, was kind and provided a lot of great information. It was really cool watching the tuna auction, even through the upstairs window. We then took a bus to the Tsukiji market where we got to see fish, produce, and other products up close. Lots of beautiful fish and shellfish. After the tour, Nobby dropped us at a good sushi restaurant.

5.00Our experience in the tour was incredible. Our guide, Sachiyo, was extremely knowledgeable, kind, and communicative in the days and weeks leading up to the tour. We knew exactly what to do with regards to applying for the lottery to go on the floor and knew exactly where and when she was picking us up. Sachiyo was highly attentive to our needs as well and brought us exactly where we wanted to go, providing valuable insights and answering all of our questions along the way. I highly recommend this tour and Sachiyo for anyone looking to tour the fish markets and see the tuna auction. I would recommend her and the tour to any of my friends in an instant.
