🐡Toyosu Fish Market
Our Take
The tuna auction is extraordinary but requires booking months ahead. Without it, it's just a fish market.
Go regardless if...
You've secured an auction viewing reservation

About
Toyosu Market is Tokyo's central wholesale fish and produce market, which replaced Tsukiji as the main market in 2018. It is one of the largest wholesale seafood markets in the world and handles a significant portion of Japan's seafood trade. Public viewing areas allow visitors to observe the market operations including the famous tuna auctions, which require advance registration.
Time Needed
2-3 hours if doing the full visit with auction viewing. 60-90 minutes for the market and restaurants only.
Best Time To Go
Early morning if you have registered for the tuna auction viewing. The market itself is most active from 5am onward.
Getting There
Shijo-mae Station on the Yurikamome line, directly connected to the market buildings.
Tips
Tuna auction spots must be registered online months in advance and spots are very limited. The restaurants inside the market building are good and significantly less crowded than equivalent options at Tsukiji.
