Rie was delightful and informative and gave us great history and places to stop for best quality and prices.
Highly recommend
Wonderful experience. Tour guide spoke excellent English. I am not sure how you could explore the fish market without a guide. There were so many stalls and crowds, it would have been overwhelming. The guide led our group to a good variety of stalls and explained the best items to get at each one. Come hungry! I spent about 7000 yen at the booths, many of which are cash only. The quick visit to the temple before the market was an added bonus for this tour. Beautiful temple and I enjoyed the information shared by our guide and her explanation of the rituals. Also I appreciated that she gave everyone an opportunity to do the rituals but also repeatedly said they were optional, so there was no pressure if it wasn't your thing. Highly recommend.
Superior Fish Market Time Management
Having a guide (Isabelle) to take us around the market had so much value for us as it was extremely busy and she took us to sample various street food, had a ton of knowledge about the area and made the experience manageable instead of overwhelming. I would highly recommend!

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