What people are saying about Chuo City

Our tour guide Tetsu was our favorite our whole time in Japan. Super friendly, easy going, kind and excellent knowledge on the market. The sushi restaurant for lunch was the best sushi we had - there was such a long line that we would have had to wait in without Tetsu, that alone was worth the tour! Thank you Tetsu for being so kind :)

We had a good time with Yoko. She took us around the market and found us fresh Bluefin Tuna. We finished the tour with a Sake and Sushi brunch. Informative tour on a cold day.

Fumiko was a great friendly host! We learned some basic Japan and she made our trip through the market less stressful! Amazing fresh tuna and sushi as well :-D

The guide was very good English speaker and well know of the area. We really enjoyed the tour guide until the last minutes. I really recommend.

Comprehensive and illustrative insights on the market and Japanese food - we really enjoyed it!
