Tsukiji Fish Market

Tsukiji Fish Market is one of the most popular spots for the tourists. Since it is not easy for the first visitors to go around, I will show you the way to visit.

• Shop Areas in Inner Market and Outer Market

We can do shopping, tasting and eating in this area. Many shops open at 5 or 6 AM and close at 2 or 3 PM. If you would like to have breakfast, you had better arrive there at earlier tine.

 

• Intermediate Wholesale Area in Inner Market

This area opens to public from 10 AM. Since many shops close at around 11 or 12 AM, I recommend you to visit there soon after the open to public (10 AM). You can feel the atmosphere of the active fish market.

 

• Tuna Auction

We can see the tuna auction in the early morning. It opens to the visitors from 5:25 AM to 5:50 AM and from 5:50 AM t0 6:15 AM. They accept 120 visitors/day in total. They do not accept any reservation, so we need to visit there in the very early morning.
