Tsukiji Fish Market

Before 2018, the Tsujiki Fish Market was the largest wholesale fish and seafood market in the world. One of the most famous aspects of Tsukiji was its tuna auctions, where enormous bluefin tuna were auctioned off to the highest bidder. These auctions were a unique and iconic sight, attracting both tourists and industry professionals. The market was moved in 2018 to Toyosu, a man-made island in Tokyo Bay. The new facility, known as Toyosu Market, was built with modern infrastructure to meet higher hygiene and safety standards. The new market continues to host tuna auctions and other seafood auctions. However, these auctions are now conducted in a more controlled and sanitary environment.

Toyosu Market consists of an “Inner Market” where the auctions and wholesale transactions take place and an “Outer Market” that is open to the public. The Outer Market at Toyosu offers a range of sushi restaurants, seafood stalls, and shops similar to the one at Tsukiji. The Market also has observation decks where visitors can view the activities of the Inner Market and enjoy panoramic views of Tokyo Bay and the surrounding area.
