Discover more about Toyosu New Fish Market

Toyosu New Fish Market, officially called Toyosu Shijo, is the world's largest wholesale fish market, having taken over the title from the famous Tsukiji Market in October 2018. This modern facility, located on reclaimed land in Tokyo Bay, is almost twice the size of its predecessor, offering a cleaner and more organized experience for both buyers and visitors. The market is divided into three main buildings: the Fisheries Wholesale Market Building, the Fisheries Intermediate Wholesale Market Building, and the Fruit and Vegetable Building. The most iconic event is the tuna auction, held in the Fisheries Wholesale Market Building, where buyers bid exorbitant amounts for the freshest bluefin tuna. Visitors can observe the fast-paced action from dedicated viewing platforms. The Fisheries Intermediate Wholesale Market Building houses shops and stalls where distributors sell seafood to local fish dealers and restaurants. Here, you can find the Uogashi Yokocho Market, a public area with about 70 shops selling non-perishable goods, processed foods, and souvenirs. The Fruit and Vegetable Building offers a glimpse into the wholesale trade of fresh produce, with color-coded corridors indicating seasonal products. While the inner workings of the market are mostly off-limits to tourists, dedicated routes and observation windows allow visitors to witness the bustling activity. After exploring the market, visitors can enjoy fresh seafood at one of the nearly 40 restaurants in the complex, many of which relocated from Tsukiji. Sushi is a popular choice, but you can also find ramen, curry rice, and other Japanese staples. Toyosu Market is more than just a marketplace; it's a vital part of Japan's food culture and a fascinating destination for anyone interested in seafood, auctions, and the energy of Tokyo.
