Ohai finally My Day 4 Tokyo Trip to Tsukiji Fish Market. I am glad that I still manage to visit this market at Tokyo before it move to a new site in Toyosu in November. Basically I just spend my time eat, eat and eat only while exploring the market. At first we plan to visit the Tuna Auction at 5am, but since the train does not open so early, taking cab in Tokyo is expensive. We didn't make it to the auction but the Fish Market is big enough for you to explore and searching for good food.
[About]
Tsukiji Market (築地市場, Tsukiji Shijō) is a large wholesale market for fish, fruits and vegetables in central Tokyo. It is the most famous of over ten wholesale markets that handle the distribution of fish, meat, produce and flowers in Tokyo. Tsukiji Market is best known as one of the world's largest fish markets, handling over 2,000 tons of marine products per day. It is scheduled to move to a new site in Toyosu in November 2016.
The sight of the many kinds of fresh fish and other seafood and the busy atmosphere of scooters, trucks, sellers and buyers hurrying around, make Tsukiji Market a major tourist attractions. In fact, the numbers of visitors have increased so much over recent years, that they have become a problem to the course of business, as the aging market's infrastructure was not anticipated to serve as a tourist spot.
