    Asami was amazing!!! She did an exceptional job of taking us around the fish market, explaining Japanese culture and importance, and the fish she had us taste was out of this world!! I would definitely recommend this tour (and specifically Asami as your tour guide!) if you’re going to Tokyo!

    Great Fun and Knowledgable Guide

    After a stumbling block with dates (my fault) we were able to rearrange this tour a week later and so glad we did. Ryan our guide was knowledgable, kind and courteous. We very much needed his input into some of the fish, vegetables and fruits on show. Great breakfast stop and a few delicacies on our way through the market. Very enjoyable 3 hours.

    Excellent journey with Ayumi!

    Our private tour of the Tsukiji Market with Ayumi was fantastic and stands as a highlight of our trip. While we knew that we would be capable of navigating the market ourselves and that the fish auctions were moved months ago we still thought it would be helpful to have a local, experienced, native speaker guide us through the market. We could not have been more right, Ayumi is a very considerate and thoughtful host and showed us far more than we would have explored on our own. Her intimate knowledge of the various vendors and personal passion for the foods truly set her apart and paired perfectly with our interests! I would definitely recommend Arigato and specifically Ayumi to anyone seeking a local expert to help them navigate the bustling market!
