1: Understand Inner Market and Outer Market
The entire of Tsukiji Market is separated into Inner Market and Outer Market. Talking about “Tsukiji Market” to visit as I do, it’s Outer Market.
Inner Market is the wholesales area only for professionals basically, and if you wish to see tuna auction there, you need to register at Fish Information Center (open at 5 a.m.) which welcomes 120 people a day.
2: Keep in mind what you want to eat
3: A town of early birds
Shops open from very early (ex: 6:00 am) and close around 14:00!
4: Just in case you lost your way, think of reaching any major station such as Shimbashi
Tsukiji has a history of hundreds of years and has gone through several city plannings of Tokyo. Although it is located in the middle of Tokyo, there are somehow only subway stations near the market. Just in case you need to clear up your mind to find your way, take any subway to go to a JR station.
5: Tsukiji Honganji Temple is another must-see!
Its building is inspired from India. See photos and you’ll see it.
I’ll develop more. See details on Tokyo Direct Guide!
