Was interesting, but the larger part of the market is the „tourist“-market only one building is actually the fish-market. So if you have enough time in Tokyo go for it, if you are an a tighter schedule save your time.

We enjoyed our Fukuoka food tour. Our guide Jaye Jaye was terrific. Very friendly and we enjoyed talking with her and learning about her experiences living in Japan. The food stops were great and good value for what we paid. Would have liked more education/info on the location as we were walking. Although to be fair, it was raining, so communication was not ideal. There was miscommunication from the tour company, as we received an email the day before giving us the wrong tour date and time. No response on my email to confirm the day/time. Meeting location description could have been clearer, as Kego is a large park. Overall, I would highly recommend this tour and guide Jaye Jaye.

An informative tour on the heart of the tuna industry in Japan. Stella is a great guide, so much sharing about tuna and the auction system, the breakfast adds a super nice context to all we learnt.

We had a great time wandering the fishmarkets with Romy. She was able to provide us with great information about the fishmarket history and culture. We were able to try different foods at the small stores. It was great having someone able to give us insights we would not have got on our own.

We booked our Hakata Market tour after watching Shizuka Anderson participate in a similar tour with Mason on YouTube and we’re so happy we did. As mentioned in other reviews, Jaye, our guide on this experience, was AMAZING. We’ve been on a few Byfood experiences already and all of them have created memories that will last a lifetime. We’re novice “foodies” so the fish market, udon restaurant, and cafe were local places that we wouldn’t have known to seek out if not for the tour and a perfect introduction to Fukuoka food culture. Our minds were educated and our bellies filled. “A” for the experience and having a great guide in Jaye made it an “A+”. Highly recommend!

Food Tours

The beating heart of any Japanese food scene is the bustling markets of its cities. At the break of dawn, the sushi chefs converge to score the freshest fish of the day, while greengrocers arrange their farm-fresh produce, and street food vendors set up their stalls with simmering pots and sizzling grills. The smell of it all alone is enough to set your appetite alight!

Joining a market tour in Japan is a must-do for any true foodie tourist — whether it’s the world-famous fish market at Toyosu with its million-dollar tuna, the delightful snacks and souvenirs of Kyoto’s Nishiki Market, Osaka’s street food Meccas, or any the other tantalizing epicenters of Japanese food culture.

What you might not know though, is that some of these markets are as vast as they are vibrant. Rather than navigating your way through their labyrinthine corridors alone, why not enlist the help of an expert local Japanese guide during one of these Japanese market tours to maximize your time there? Our lineup of market tours in Japan will help you unlock the very best the markets of Japan have to offer!
