Timeline

The Tokyo Fish Market most famously refers to the Tsukiji Market, which was historically the largest fish market in the world, handling about 3,000 tonnes of fish daily. It was located in central Tokyo and was a major tourist attraction known for its early morning tuna auctions, where licensed buyers bid on fresh tuna between 5 and 6:15 a.m. The market also featured many shops and restaurants selling fresh seafood and Japanese food materials. However, in October 2018, the inner wholesale market and tuna auctions moved from Tsukiji to a new, larger facility called Toyosu Market, located on reclaimed land in Tokyo Bay. Toyosu Market is now the biggest fish market in the world, almost twice the size of Tsukiji. It continues the tradition of tuna auctions, but visitors must apply in advance to attend.  The Tsukiji Outer Market remains in its original location and continues to operate as a vibrant marketplace for fresh seafood, vegetables, kitchen tools, and traditional Japanese food items. It is popular with tourists for food sampling and shopping, though the wholesale auction activities have ceased there. http://www.bucketlist.voyage/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/20250520_094358.mp4 The next attraction: Rainbow Bridge a prominent suspension bridge spanning northern Tokyo Bay, connecting Shibaura Pier on the mainland with the Odaiba waterfront development in Minato, Tokyo.Total Length 798 meters The bridge is a double-decker structure: Upper Deck Carries the Shuto Expressway’s Daiba Route (Route 11 Daiba Line).
