Why This Tokyo Morning Tour?

Experience Tokyo’s soul through its food and culture—this morning tour blends tranquility and vibrancy, perfect for early risers craving authentic local moments.

Begin at Hommonji Temple, a quiet Buddhist temple where you’ll enjoy a homemade traditional breakfast. Feast on miso soup, grilled seasonal fish, pickled vegetables, and steamed rice, all served with Japanese tea. Learn about the temple’s history and the philosophy of “shojin ryori” (Buddhist vegetarian cuisine) from your guide.

Next, head to Tsukiji Outer Market, Tokyo’s culinary heart. Wander the bustling alleys lined with stalls selling the freshest seafood, dried snacks, and street food. Your guide will lead you to a legendary kaisendon spot—tuck into a bowl brimming with melt-in-your-mouth sashimi, sourced directly from Tsukiji’s fish market.

Along the way, taste other market favorites: warm tamagoyaki (sweet rolled omelet), savory takoyaki (octopus balls), and creamy matcha soft-serve. The tour ends at the market’s main entrance, leaving you free to continue exploring or head to your next Tokyo adventure.
