Tsukiji Outer Market is a vibrant marketplace where you can enjoy fresh seafood and delicious gourmet food.
Overview
Tsukiji Outer Market is the outer market area of the former Tsukiji Fish Market, once the world's largest and most famous wholesale fish market. While the inner market has relocated to Toyosu, the outer market thrives as a lively shopping street. It boasts numerous restaurants serving fresh seafood, sushi, seafood bowls (kaisen-don), tempura, and much more.
The charm of Tsukiji Outer Market extends beyond its abundant seafood. You'll find specialty shops offering professional-grade kitchen tools and tableware, making it a fun place to simply stroll and browse. It's also a great spot to find unique souvenirs.
