I signed up for the Tsukiji Fish Market tour, noting that this was led by Kazu, who I had as a tour guide on my last trip to Japan back in December 2019. The meeting spot was clear and easy to get to. On our way to the market, Kazu gave us insights on the history of a nearby Buddhist temple as well as the history of the Tsukiji market. We had plenty of time, no rush, to check out any shops in the area that interested us. We also went to a restaurant serving sushi rice bowls. Given that this restaurant is in the Tsukiji market, it's no surprise that our sushi was super fresh and delicious. We then ended the tour at a building on the 47th floor where we got a great view of the city, including where the old Tsukiji market used to be. All in all, it was a excellent tour! It was nice to see you again, Kazu!
