It would have been...

It would have been helpful to know how many places we were stopping at to buy food. The vendor choices were great.

Full fish for sale or serves ready to eat

I expected to see the operations of an active market, to see actual full fish being traded (inner market). We were guided to various stores (outer market) selling seafood ready to eat. Accepting our guide took us to the better providers, the tour would benefit with a bit of structure, similar to how you might eat, entree, light foods then the more robust. With a focus on eating around the market, it might be useful to advise guests to come hungry. Or ready to indulge in a second breakfast. It's an easy place to explore on your own and avoid a fee

A great cultural experience!

Must have about 5000 yen each person to get full experience. Our tour guide Yayoi was great! Two teenage daughters enjoyed too.
