A fun morning visiting Tsukiji fish market.
Met some wonderful fellow travellers who were great company. Our guide Daniel did a great job taking us around the busy streets of the market without losing any of us and doing his best to ensure we were all catered for.

Tour guide from hell

If you want to book a tour and be looked after this is not the tour for you. We should have just booked our own guides. Tourist Japan is an umbrella company that farms out the tours to other tourist companies. They do not look after you at all. They book hotels miles away from meeting points and make you travel hours to meet your guides - usually early in the morning and 2 hours away.

Dear Lynne,

Thanks for choosing Tourist Japan.

I have thoroughly looked into your feedback.

Tourist Japan is not just an umbrella company, we operate entire tour packages for thousands of travelers each year in Japan. We operate the majority of the tours within our packages ourselves, with our team of hand-picked tour guides who are local experts and stand by our company training, DNA, and guidelines. We are constantly working to improve the prominence of our brand within these tours, and your feedback is important for us to reflect that it is clearly not clear enough in all cases. That said, we do work with other partner suppliers for certain activities, mostly specialized activities such as tea workshops, sumo viewings, and so on, who we believe are able to provide our guests with the highest possible experience.

I have also checked into the hotel included in your package. The hotel is located in Central Kyoto, a few minutes from the tour starting points in your trip. The third day in your package included a tour of Osaka starting from Kyoto, and if you had preferred to stay instead in Osaka, and start the tour from there, we could have arranged that, however, usually switching hotels for one night is not something we advise, as you would have had to make the same trip to Osaka either way. We are transparent about the hotels and accommodation location at the time of booking, and should the selected hotel not be convenient, we allow our guests to choose other hotels from our hand-picked and verified selection when booking on our website or via our team.

Our customer service team is available 7 days a week to ensure all our guests are well looked after from the moment of booking throughout the trip. We really encourage guests to take advantage of this and genuinely appreciate being informed in real time of any disappointments or concerns, so we have the opportunity to be able to exceed expectations and make positive travel memories come true. Our team really loves nothing more than great feedback and happy guests.

I would like to invite you to reach out to me personally at sophie@touristjapan.com if you return to Japan so I can make sure that your next experience with us would result in over and beyond satisfaction as we strive for all our guests to experience.

Sophie,
Guest Relations Manager

Hi Aki,

Hi Aki,
We had the most wonderful experience with our tour guide!
His passion for the culture, history, and local insights truly brought the place to life. We felt not just like tourists, but like friends being shown around by someone who genuinely cared.
We are so grateful for the memorable experience and would highly recommend this tour guide to anyone looking for professionalism, warmth, and an unforgettable journey.
It was bit exhausting by the end of the day with 20k steps walk.

Tokyo Tsukiji Fish Market & Food Tour

Today, we had the pleasure of visiting the Tokyo Tsukiji Fish Market & Food Tour, which was an incredible experience. The vendors and the food were exceptional, and the bustling yet peaceful atmosphere was truly captivating. Everyone we encountered was incredibly polite and friendly. I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to our tour guide, Suzana Hyakutake. Her extensive knowledge of the area, coupled with her impeccable politeness and willingness to address any questions we may have had, made her an invaluable asset to our tour. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking an informative and enjoyable experience. My son and I had an absolute blast!

Thank you for taking the time to leave such a kind review. We are also so pleased to hear you and your son had an amazing time exploring the Tsukiji Fish Market with Suzana! One of the best parts of traveling to a country is visiting sites like these, and incredible tour guides like her truly elevate the experience! Thank you again, and we'd love to welcome you back for another adventure soon.
