Tsukiji Fish Market

  Tsukiji Fish Market, located in the Chuo ward of Tokyo, has long been a culinary hub, dating back to its establishment in 1935. Originally the site of a wholesale market where fish merchants sold their fresh catches, it has transformed into a vibrant area where visitors can explore both restaurants and shops dedicated to seafood. While the inner wholesale market has moved to Toyosu since 2018, the outer market thrives with street food stalls and vendors selling local delicacies and sushi. Open to the public year-round, visitors can wander down the narrow paths of the market, sampling fresh sushi or observing the bustling atmosphere created by vendors and chefs alike. Just two blocks from Tsukiji Hongan-ji temple, the market is a must-visit for anyone looking to experience Tokyo’s rich seafood culture.
