Experience Details
Although lesser known than other fish markets in Tokyo like Tsukiji or Toyosu, the Adachi Fish Market is a bustling institution that has been providing some of the freshest seafood to the city since 1945. This Adachi Fish Market Tour is an exclusive opportunity to get a behind-the-scenes look at Japan’s fish market culture and discover some of the tastiest seafood delicacies (as well as some strange sights) in Tokyo.
You’ll arrive at the market early in the morning and meet your host, who will guide you through the stalls where busy fishmongers will be setting up their fresh offerings. Expect to see seasonal fish and seafood like tuna, salmon, scallops and also unusual sea creatures you’d rarely get to see outside a market like this.
While the largest fish market in Tokyo, Toyosu Fish Market, is known for being strict and not allowing tourists inside the wholesale market area, if you still want to experience the wild and fascinating world of seafood in Japan, this tour of the Adachi Fish Market welcomes you!
Please note that while you can enjoy the seafood restaurants bordering the Adachi Fish Market any day of the week, you can’t always get access to the fish market’s wholesale area, as it’s only open to the public on one Saturday every two months, from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. Please feel free to inquire with your host to check the available dates.

Experience Location
Tokyo’s second largest fish market, the Adachi Fish Market is located in Kita-Senju, an area which has a long history of accommodating travelers passing through. During the early years of the Edo period, traffic through Senju was quite heavy and Kita-Senju was a postal station where Daimyo stopped to rest before continuing their travels. Now a residential area, Kita-Senju is far from the typical image you might have of Tokyo (neon lights, swarms of impeccably-dressed people). Full of narrow streets and very local hidden gems, in Kita-Senju you can find the freshest produce at affordable costs.
