Toyosu marketToyosu Market is a purpose-built wholesale complex on reclaimed land in Tokyo Bay that opened in October 2018 to replace the old Tsukiji fish market. The site groups seafood wholesale, auction operations and a separate fruits and vegetables building into a single large precinct.
The complex contains dedicated wholesale halls, a bidding auction hall, visitor viewing decks, about 40 food stalls and restaurants, and a landscaped rooftop terrace with panoramic views of the waterfront and Tokyo skyline. Design and construction were intended to modernize handling and hygiene while keeping wholesale operations centralized.
Visitors can watch auctions from a second-floor public viewing deck or apply in advance for a windowed room level view, and can eat at market-side restaurants and browse shops in the Uogashi Yokocho area. The market continues the long tradition of tuna auctions that draw attention when record bids are placed, while wholesale trading and publishing of prices are operated by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government.
- Auction viewing deck: Watch the morning tuna and seafood auctions from the public second-floor viewing area or book the separate windowed room for a closer, quieter view.
- Fresh-seafood restaurants and Uogashi Yokocho: A cluster of market restaurants and stalls serves sashimi, sushi and other seafood dishes made with market-fresh produce.
- Wholesale market halls: Walk the elevated visitor areas above the wholesale floors to see crates, workers and live seafood handling during market hours.
- Rooftop terrace: The landscaped rooftop offers panoramic views across Tokyo Bay and a place to relax away from the busy market floors.
- Uogashi Suijinja shrine: A small market shrine at the corner of the complex honors the traditional maritime and market culture of the area.
