Full description

This is a 75-minute experience in Tokyo. It is run by Japan Wonder Travel, an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.

Tokyo's wholesale fish market moved from Tsukiji to Toyosu in 2018, but the Tsukiji Outer Market, the lanes of shops and stalls around the old site, stayed and is where the food walks go: tamagoyaki on a stick, tuna cuts, uni, grilled scallops and knife shops, busiest from about 8:00 to 11:00 and closed on Sundays and some Wednesdays. The tuna auction itself is at Toyosu, watched from a viewing deck before 6:30 with an advance lottery. Sushi classes teach shari, the vinegared rice, and the hand pressure of nigiri; most run two to three hours and you eat what you make.

The price covers The sushi you make, Fresh ingredients, sushi master, host and Additional sushi made by the master. It does not cover Extra food and drink, Hotel pickup and drop-off, Guidance through the market and Sashimi, Sushi & Sake Pairing class" does not include a, so budget for those separately. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.

Japan Wonder Travel sends the meeting point and time by email as soon as the booking is confirmed. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with Japan Wonder Travel before treating your booking as final.

Fantastic sushi-making experience! The sushi master was excellent, with great instructions and useful tips and tricks. The translator was also very helpful and made everything easy to understand. The fish and rice were of excellent quality, using fresh local market products. The organization was top-notch, and the group size of 8 was perfect. The room was clean, bright, and spacious, and the pace was just right—not too fast, but still engaging.

Incredible experience! Our group got to learn so much about the Japanese culture and history behind sushi making and experiences. Miky, our host and Kate, our sushi master made it such a memorable class and truly created such a fun environment full of laughter, fun, and connection. Not to mention the fish & ingredients themselves were so FRESH and delicious. If you are looking for a sushi making class in Tokyo I HIGHLY recommend 🤍

This was a great, fun activity with some history about sushi and great teachers showing you how to make each one..and the best bit getting to eat it all at the end with the option to buy a little saki to wash it down with! Kate and Maddie were great hosts/teachers. The class takes place in the Tsukiji market which is worth spending some time walking round to sample some other foods.

The class with Kate and Satoko was excellent. Loved the way it’s demo’ed and how we made sushi ourselves. Kate was a good chef and the fresh wasabi tasted great.

Frequently Asked Questions

The price does not cover extra food and drink, hotel pickup and drop-off, guidance through the market and sashimi, sushi & sake pairing class" does not include a professional chef.. Everything it does cover is listed in full on this page, so if something is not on that list, budget for it separately.
Yes, if you tell us when you book rather than on the day. Dashi, the fish stock, is in almost everything, so vegetarian and vegan need to be named specifically and the host will plan a kombu-based version. Halal-certified restaurants exist in the big cities but are fewer, so say so early.
We confirm your booking with the operator before we treat it as final, and we need at least one day's notice. Once it is confirmed you get the meeting point, the time and a contact number for the day. If the operator cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

Late March to early April for cherry blossom, or late October to early December for autumn colour and the clearest skies. Contrary to most advice, October is Tokyo's wettest month (234.8 mm), not the June rainy season. Full month-by-month figures are in our best time to visit Tokyo guide.
Get a Suica or Pasmo IC card and budget ¥1,000–¥1,400 a day. Do not buy a JR Pass for a Tokyo-only trip — it costs ¥50,000 and excludes Tokyo Metro and Toei entirely. Note JR East raised Tokyo fares on 14 March 2026, so Metro is now cheaper than JR on several routes. See getting around Tokyo.
Shibuya Sky releases tickets only 14 days ahead at 00:00 JST — it cannot be booked months in advance. teamLab Borderless tickets drop at 12:00 JST on the 1st of each month. Our 3-day Tokyo itinerary lists every booking deadline.
Yes — a Japanese licence or an International Driving Permit issued under the 1949 Geneva Convention. 1968 Vienna Convention permits are not valid in Japan. Licences from Switzerland, Germany, France, Belgium, Monaco and Taiwan need an official JAF translation instead. Arrange it before you fly; see the Tokyo go-kart guide.
Yes — the highway bus from Busta Shinjuku to Kawaguchiko takes about 1h 45m for ¥2,200. But manage expectations: Fuji is visible on 84% of December mornings and only 23% of July mornings, and cloud builds through the day, so go early. Details in our Mount Fuji day trip guide.
Edomae sushi (the Tokyo Bay style, where curing began as a workaround for having no refrigeration), monjayaki — a runny griddle dish unique to Tokyo with 80+ specialists on Tsukishima's Monja Street — and soba. Also worth knowing: Tsukiji Outer Market never closed; only the wholesale auction moved to Toyosu. See the Tokyo food guide.
The crossing itself takes about ninety seconds. What makes it worth an evening is one street back — Nonbei Yokocho, a lantern-lit alley of tiny bars a minute away that almost nobody who photographs the scramble walks into. Note street drinking is banned in the area 18:00–05:00 year-round, though the ordinance carries no fine. See the Shibuya Crossing guide.
Yes, some. Japan's cashless ratio reached 58% in 2025, so over 40% of payments are still cash — and card refusal is most likely at small independent izakaya, ramen ticket machines and market stalls. Tipping is not expected anywhere.
