[EN] Tsukiji Market – Culinary culture

Although Tsukiji Market no longer hosts the famous tuna auctions, it remains one of Tokyo’s most important culinary destinations, filled with long-established shops and vibrant food stalls. During the tour, we will visit Tsukiji Hongan-ji Temple and Namiyoke Shrine, both important cultural and spiritual landmarks of the area, so visitors are asked to remain respectful and quiet while on the premises. Some stops may offer opportunities to sample local specialties or purchase food, but these costs are not included in the tour. The market streets are often narrow and crowded, so extra caution is recommended for visitors with reduced mobility. Tsukiji is generally a very safe area, though guests should always keep an eye on their belongings in busy locations.
