築地場外市場
Tsukiji Outer Market
Tokyo’s most famous fish market lives on outside the gates—still sizzling with seafood, knives, and early-morning energy.
Attraction
Seafood, Street Food, Culinary Landmark
MK Guide Recommends
Though the inner wholesale auctions moved to Toyosu in 2018, Tsukiji Outer Market remains a beating heart of Tokyo’s culinary world. Packed into a warren of narrow alleys and storefronts, the market hosts over 400 vendors selling everything from fresh tuna cuts and grilled scallops to tamagoyaki, seaweed, premium knives, and wasabi root. Open early and busiest before noon, it’s a magnet for chefs, locals, and tourists hungry for a breakfast bowl of kaisendon or a behind-the-counter food story. It’s not just about seafood—it's about the smell of charcoal, the hiss of steam, the pace of a city waking up to eat.
