    A very interesting experience
    AudreyGillette, Apr 2024
    We are so glad we did this tour - even if we had to get up at the crack of dawn. Our guide, Fumi, contacted us in advance and even reminded me, when it was time to apply for the lottery. Sadly, we did not get into the lottery, but we still had an amazing time. We had an excellent viewing spot, where we could see much of the auction and Fumi had all sorts of material to help us understand what we were seeing. After the auction, we had the most amazing sushi breakfast. Do note, the cost of breakfast is not included, nor is the taxi to the auction. However, they were both worth it. After breakfast, he walked us around the market, where he explained different items and we got to try several new things. The only unfortunate thing about the whole experience was Fumi's accent. He was very kind and had a lot of knowledge and information to share. Sadly, he was extremely difficult to understand. I am hard of hearing and this added to the challenge, but my family assured me that even they were having a really difficult time understanding him. We even asked him to speak slower but that did not help.
    Early morning start for tuna auctions
    Leisa_J, Dec 2023
    From the day I booked the tour our guide Fumi was in contact with me. Making sure we applied for the tuna auction lottery to be able to go to the viewing platform - which we were successful in. Fumi met us in our hotel lobby arranged the taxi and then gave us a very comprehensive explanation of the workings of the tuna auctions. Super interesting. We then went for a tour of the wholesale markets where Fumi showed us various speciality Japanese foods and the knives used by the Japanese chefs. Who knew there are 25 knives just for tuna. Fumi was very passionate and explained everything well. My whole family enjoyed the tour and learnt a lot about tuna auctions and Japanese culture and history.

    Great experience with Fumi. He is very knowledgable and gave us insights to understand the fish market better. Sushi breakfast after the tour was outstanding.

    The Toyosu Fish Market Experience
    JohnC_G, Dec 2023
    Learning about the fish auction and the development of the new fish market was fascinating. Our guide, Fumi, was very passionate with teaching us about the auction, the building, the adjoining market, and the sushi lunch experience. He provided visual aids for the topics to strengthen our understandings. It was a very early start to the day and well worth it!

    Thank you very much for your very warm review. I hope you and your family will continue to frequently visit or live in Japan.
    Morning at the Fish Market
    Lori_J, Nov 2023
    Fumi was a great guide. He was very knowledgeable about how the fish market operated and made sure we understood how the auction worked. He took us to the best Sushi where we ordered the omasaki (chefs chioce) best sushi experience ever. The market on the otherside of the bridge had many food vendors and shops. Very early pick up but great day!

    Everything you could hope for in a tour!
    Ashley_P, Apr 2023
    Fumi was a wealth of knowledge!! He was able to answer all of our questions and even gave us paper handouts that had facts about sashimi and even language/etiquette tips. Not only did we learn so much about the tuna auction itself but during the tour around the market, we also learned about sake, miso, Japanese desserts etc. The sushi breakfast and tour around the fish market were special as well. Highly recommend Fumi’s tour!
