Getting started

Arrive at Toyosu Market in time for the approximate 5:00 AM start. After check-in, you join your group and head into the market complex, which operates in all weather. The guided experience begins inside Toyosu Market, so plan transport in advance and remember that the market is closed on Wednesdays, Sundays, and Japanese public holidays.

What to expect

Toyosu tuna auction area

This is the heart of Toyosu Market, where premium bluefin tuna is traded in a fast-paced pre-dawn auction.

Features

  • During the tuna auction observation you watch expert buyers assess and bid on premium bluefin tuna in real time, gaining insider knowledge of Japan's seafood industry and market system as the morning's trading unfolds.
  • You have access to the auction floor, ground deck, or public gallery, depending on operational conditions, so you can see how tuna is graded and how auction signals are used by professionals from a safe, designated viewing area.
  • A tuna hand-signal te-jirushi mini lesson shows you how bidders communicate during the sale, helping you follow the coded gestures and understand what is happening on the auction floor.

Toyosu wholesale market

After the auction, you move into the wider wholesale zones where seafood and related products are distributed.

Features

  • On a guided tour of the wholesale market you walk through designated areas while learning how Toyosu Market functions as a major hub in Japan's market system, from early-morning logistics to distribution.
  • As part of the fish purchasing experience, you select seafood with guidance on quality and freshness, then decide whether to have your purchased fish prepared by a professional sushi chef or take it home.

Sushi Dai or Bentomi

Your morning concludes with a reserved seat at one of Toyosu Market's well-known sushi counters for breakfast, using the fish-focused start to your day as context for the meal.

Features

  • A standard or exclusive reservation at Sushi Dai or Bentomi, with the meal fee excluded as per the option selected, secures your place without you needing to queue separately at the restaurant.
  • With the "Standard Bentomi Reservation Tier" you receive a standard reservation at Bentomi, while the "Exclusive Bentomi Reservation Tier" provides an exclusive reservation at Bentomi that pairs with your earlier market access.
  • If you choose Sushi Dai, the "Standard Sushi Dai Reservation Tier" includes a standard reservation at Sushi Dai and the "Exclusive Sushi Dai Reservation Tier" gives you an exclusive reservation at Sushi Dai, in both cases with the option for your fish to be prepared by a sushi chef or packed for takeaway.
