About Tsukiji築地について
While the inner wholesale market moved to Toyosu in 2018, Tsukiji's Outer Market remains one of Tokyo's most vibrant food destinations. Hundreds of small shops and restaurants line the narrow streets, serving everything from the freshest sushi and sashimi to tamagoyaki (Japanese egg omelet) and matcha treats.
The Tsukiji Outer Market is a food lover's paradise, offering both sit-down meals and street food that you can eat while walking. Early morning is the best time to visit for the freshest seafood, but the market buzzes with activity throughout the day. The area also features the historic Tsukiji Hongwanji Temple, a striking Indian-style Buddhist temple.
