Born from the relocation of the old Tsukiji wholesale market, Toyosu Market is one of Japan’s largest seafood hubs, famous for its tuna auctions. Arrive early and watch the action from the visitor gallery; there’s also a closer viewing deck available by advance lottery. Clear signage and dedicated walkways make it easy for first-timers to explore.
The best part is the market dining. Sushi bars and seafood eateries cluster inside and around the market, serving ultra-fresh fish at down-to-earth “market” prices—perfect for an early breakfast or lunch. Many shops offer value set menus, so you can sample top quality without the splurge.
There’s plenty for sightseeing, too. Beyond the market buildings, the new “Toyosu Senkyaku Banrai” area brings an Edo-style food street, shops, and even hot-spring facilities—ideal for strolling, snacking, and picking up edible souvenirs.
Suggested Morning Plan
- Arrive before sunrise to view the tuna auction from the observation gallery (close-up deck requires advance application).
- Treat yourself to breakfast—sushi or a hearty seafood bowl. For popular spots, lining up before opening helps.
- Wander and unwind in Senkyaku Banrai or the market shops, then relax with a foot bath or hot soak.
Bottom line: Toyosu Market bundles the thrill of the auction, fresh and affordable seafood, and sightseeing-friendly facilities in one place—an ideal “morning adventure” for your Tokyo itinerary.
