She first took us through the inside fish market where people buy wholesale fish then we went outside to the food market where we had the BEST wagyu skewers. They were so good we actually went back after the tour to buy another. Our last stop on the tour was in a restaurant where a sushi chef cut and prepared fish for a sashimi bowl for all of us to enjoy. Everything we ate was delicious and I'm so happy we booked this experience. If you can, request Chi Haru/Sunny for yours!”

“My guide was kind and friendly and gave a nice tour. But the company itself was incredibly unhelpful and didn’t seem to care about my experience at all. They provided the wrong starting location and when I reached out to them they send the same wrong directions again and told me there was no refund and stopped all communication despite me contacting them repeatedly. Luckily I thought to look back into the details and I was able to piece together the starting point and found it on my own. Fortunately my guide was still waiting there even though it was almost 45 minutes after start time! Once I explained the…”

“Our host Yuriko was absolutely amazing with not only taking us through and letting us be part of the tea ceremony but she is also an accomplished player of the traditional Japanese instrument which she played for us on three occasions in between the tea ceremony, she had a beautiful studio with lovely kimonos on the wall and English was great and I think the reason she does so well os she does not only do the tea ceremony but also playing for us and talking about the history of music as well as the tea ceremony so you actually get two things for the same price as one, well…”
