Just got back from the tuna auction at the Tsukiji Market. We were worried we wouldn't make it in time and so got there by 3:50am--we were 14th and 15th in line. The first group of 60 filled up at 4:30am. If you're in the first group, they take you from waiting on the street into a nice room at... More

One of the most unforgettable experience when we went to Tokyo. My daughter and I were among the first to line up to see the most famous tuna auction. It was great! More

Never imagined that I would have rice and fish for breakfast, but we did. And if you ever do, it should be at Tsukiji's. All the decent Sushi restaurants within 100km of this market send their little mini-trucks to load up on their fish for the day. While it is a "fish market", in classic Japanese style, it is not...

The fish market was incredible. Unfortunately, we didn't see the fish auction which is very early in the morning. That is supposed to be amazing. We were there mid-morning and the place was like a madhouse. You have to be careful walking around because there are trucks and small tractors moving cartons of fish around.There is every kind of fish... More

This is a serious fish market--not for tourists or small buyers. Go prepared to get out of the way of all kinds of vehicles and serious fish business.

Nice place to explore. Beside the fish market, there is another Vegetables and Fruits Market. There are many restaurants nearby offer fresh sushi and sashimi, and these restaurant can occupy very less customer at one time, around 8 to 12 pax, therefore you will see a long que outside these restaurant.

Tsukiji fish market is said to be a must go and only if you go to the live tuna auction in the morning. If you do not wish to get there at 4am and line up for the auction ticket, you can give the inner market a skip if you reach there by 9am onwards. Please be careful while making... More

Such an awesome market, though wet and slippery, the kids were mesmerized by all the strange creatures available there, also very fun to watch them process the giant tuna. We did not go see the auction as it was said to be more limited now. Definitely a must see. Sushi looked so good, and great prices, next time I will... More
