[ONLINE EVENT] Journey to Tsukiji Market: A Neighborhood and Food Virtual Tour
Wednesday, June 15, 2022 | 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Free
The Japan-America Society of Dallas/Fort Worth is excited to partner with Arigato Japan Travel on a virtual exploration, especially as tourists will soon be able to return to the country. We will venture to the Tsukiji Market, an area of Tokyo known for generations as a destination for fresh fish, produce, and a flavor of authentic Japan. Although several wholesale fish sellers moved to the new Toyosu facility, 65 specialty vendors and hundreds of traditional businesses are still here, which makes this part of town still one of the best food areas in all of Tokyo.
Our guide, Lauren Shannon, will bring you on a virtual insider’s tour of the local market, and share the background and history of this area. You will meet the local shop owners along the way and Lauren will show you some of the many different food stands, including fresh fish, seasonal veggies, and a few wonderful hidden gems. While you plan your dream trip to Japan, come along with us and explore a fantastic foodie neighborhood from home. Explore behind the scenes and get the local experience with a Tsukiji expert. Arigato Travel loves the market and the people who work here and they cannot wait to share their passion for this historic neighborhood with you.
