Tours


Q I know there are restrictions on where visitors can walk inside of the market to observe auctions, etc. Does going on your tour allow us access to any areas of the market that we would not be able to see without a tour?
A We will try our best within the rules (please see the top page.) to satisfy your wants and needs; however, if your purpose of visiting the market is going into any areas of the market you are not supposed to go into or if you expect us to help you do that despite the market rules, then please don't join our tours. It is our value to respect the market rules.  

Q Does the tour fee include breakfast?
A No, it doesn't. Please read the tour details. The reasons are as follows:
  • We want to maintain a neutral position as to the selection of restaurants.
  • Often times our foodie customers have already some restaurants in mind.
  • Many of them are very particular and will not be satisfied with an ordinary set prepared for tourists or a chain sushi restaurant.
  • Ours are customized tours. We would recommend a restaurant after hearing a customer's opinion considering the lengths of lines in front of the restaurants on the day.

Q Are you sanctioned by the Metropolitan Government to give tours?
A
  • We are not a travel agent whose main services are to provide travel services including hotel/transportation/restaurant arrangements to tourists.
  • We are rather a group of professionals whose main jobs are to provide technical services. We have served to serious visitors in the past and continue to do the same for the future.
  • In addition, there is no licensing requirement for organizing private walking tours in and out of the fish market. The Metropolitan Government will NEVER give anyone a permit to give tours in the market which allow his/her customers to enter to already restricted areas.
  • If there is such guide who lets you in the restricted areas (the auctions other than the frozen one) outside the designated time (5- 6:15) then s/he must be willfully violating the market restrictions. It is a matter of your judgment whether you want to be associated with those.  Please remember the reason for the new market rule and think carefully that what you do will REALLY affect others.
