A couple can share counter-seat sushi breakfasts, shop knives as souvenirs, and wander hand in hand, yet tight passages and long queues may test patience if they seek a relaxed date.

Despite many people saying to avoid due to tourist trapping, it’s really going to be up to you make the decision if certain stalls are worth it. Most spots that require longer waits generally prove to be better but feel free to look around to see what people may have missed. Super packed so expect to march like herding sheep but the food experience was nice to have tried being in there.

Had a great time walking around the old fish market. Different little stalls selling fresh fish, Wagyu beef on a stick with uni, fresh fruits, matcha, coffee, and mochi. Price may not be cheap but the quality was excellent. Good to visit before 9AM to beat the crowd. Most stalls closes at 2PM in the afternoon.
