Interesting place to visit, but not necessarily a must-see. Don't arrive at 5AM; very little is open at that time. 7AM or even 9AM is better, as most places open at that time. Food can be very good (bowl of fatty tuna with rice for ¥800 was excellent). It's a good idea to check out most of the stalls before buying something to eat; prices vary wildly for the same item(e.g., muscat grapes were ¥1000 at a shop in the center of the market but the same amount was ¥2000 at stall on the outer edge which gets more traffic). Got food poisoning from a stall that sold baby grilled octopuses on a stick, but I can't fault the market as a whole for that. Just exercise some extra caution.

If you are craving Japanese street food and cuisines during day time, than this market is the place for you in Tokyo. There are many restaurants/food joints which serves delicious food. I visited this place for it’s famous Tamagoyaki (omelette on stick) and it was delicious. Do carry enough water if you are visiting this market in summer. I would recommend to use public transport as parking is not easily available in the area.

This is a really interesting place to wander round. Make sure you get there before 2pm when many of the shops and stalls begin to pack up. It’s a really busy and popular place for both tourists and locals and you’ll be amazed at all the delights on offer. Endless seafood available to purchase or eat straight away, as well as stalls selling trinkets and household items. There’s a really good atmosphere, no pressure to buy anything you don’t want and a really good insight into local culture. If you don’t like the smell of fish, be warned, but grin and bear it because it’s really worthwhile. This was one of my favourite places in this part of the city and you’d be mad not to have a wander through.

Went here for breakfast and totally enjoyed myself. The food is top notch. I spent about 60,000 yen on fish because I’m a pig but would have spent 3x times that for lower quality in my own country. There was a crowd even early but it’s worth it. Just take your time and don’t be surprised if you wait in line for something. The wait will be worth it! The food quality is incredible and pretty good value. It’s not “cheap,” but the price is fair in my opinion. I would recommend the grilled eel, the fatty tuna belly, and the salmon. That being said, the crab also looked amazing and you can’t go wrong with the sea urchin. There’s little restaurants/cafes on the back streets and food stalls on the main roads. We didn’t do a tour or anything, just rocked up. Worked fine for us but I believe you can also organise food tours here. I would recommend spending 1.5-2 hours. Not much to do but eat!

Okay, so this place was like Disneyland for me. I loved it there, and it was such a wonderful place. Now, let me tell you about this tiny stall with only six seats I stumbled upon. The lady running the show was a gem. Super friendly, chatty, and made the whole experience awesome! The food was something else, it might just be the best damn salmon and tuna donburi I've ever had. The rice was delicious and everything was so nice I can't even explain. I would love to go back just to eat there again!

Be sure to go early if you like to try out the beef bowl. The queue already started at 6:15 before the shop opens at 6:30am. And try not to go on weekend. It will be sardine packed beyond a nice walk. The market is really like a huge food amusement park to me. Loads of fun, sampling and explorations.

Tsukiji Market is a haven for seafood and street food lovers. Although our visit in late morning was marked by bustling crowds and the challenge of navigating through the throngs at food stalls, we managed to enjoy some delightful quick snacks.

The best time to come is shortly before 8am. We actually came around 6:30am on a Friday and only a few sushi restaurants and markets were open. We killed some time and came back just before 8am and got to hit up about 5-6 shops without much waiting. I highly recommend the tamago on a stick, grilled scallop with uni and the Muscat ice cream. They were affordable and tasty. The market had a lot more food to offer but we didn't want to fill up. We stayed in Ginza and the market was an easy 15 minutes walk from our hotel.

Tokyo’s biggest food market which you can imagine will have any sort of Japanese food you can imagine. We got there around 9:30 in the morning and the market was already crowded and line for popular places. The prices were definitely touristy and some places were cash only but I would suggest visiting if you are a foodie! By lunch time the place is packed and you will be spending most of your time standing in line for good popular places so I suggest arriving early and walk around the market and pick the places you like to try!

Tsukiji open at 6am and it attracts a lot of people who are there for breakfast. Every stall seems to be selling a specialty and it’s an amazing how much there is to eat. As for dining at the restaurants, I strongly suggest you walk a round a little to see the rest of the restaurants and what there can offer. I pop in the very first stall as there was a long queue but I think it didn’t live up to its hype. My sake cost 5 times more than 7-11, was a little disappointed. Overall a very good and enjoyable experience. Fresh seafood, coffee, ice cream, omelette, sushi….. all at one location. Love the buzz there!

Lovely place but very crowded. Popular strawberry mochi, raw oyster and other seafood. Expect to wait at least 10mins for grilled seafood but very worth the wait. Also a lot of fried seafood snack souvenir.

If you’re a okay of waiting in line and over priced food, this place is for you. Everything looks amazing. The marinated black cod is our favorite here. The staff can also speak english. We also tried fresh prawn and scallops which I believe is raw, it’s great, never thought raw food can be this good. The place is also clean. For a fish market, there’s no foul smell. The staff loves it when there are too many people waiting in line because it also attracts more people. Probably one of the best tourist traps here in Tokyo

As expected there’s an influx of tourists, some seems are in group tours too. If you are visiting during summer, an umbrella and wearing of light clothing is a must. Although it can get really crowded it is still worth a visit to experience an organized and clean market that offers good food and there’s a lot of food and desserts to try. There are kitchen items and souvenirs you can bring home too. If you are someone who needs water after eating, buy one at the convenience store before you start your stroll since the stalls doesn’t sell water.

We walked a long way from our cruise ship, thinking it was not too far. That was a big mistake! When we arrived, only about 25% of the shops were actually open. There were a lot of food places selling seafood options. Since we don't eat seafood, this shopping street was a huge disappointment and a waste of a 2-hour walk. However, we definitely got a street view of many neighborhoods along the way.

Great place to try a bunch of street food and check out the market. Don't quite understand why folks bash this because there's a lot of tourist, all things that are usually POIs in any country will have lots of tourist. You don't hear anyone complaining about the monuments or time square, do you? That's what tourist wanna do. And for the those complaining about the price, it's Japan, it's known to be one of the most expensive Asian countries to visit. With the strength of the dollar, things were quite cheap, if not cheaper than what we get it for in the states. Are you paying a lot of a stick of wagyu? 3000 yen could sound like a lot but you're not getting that amount of quality in the states for less than that. It's all relative... We had fun, loved the food, and I'd go back to try more spots!

In my opinion definitely not worth the hype. Lots of place to shop from but very pricey. You can eat sushi in many restaurants for much less. I think it’s a touristy location that can be taken easily off the list to go to.

I can’t believe I’ve been traveling to Tokyo for >15 years and this is the first time I’m here! I’ve always thought visiting Tsukiji is a 4am hike which always prevented me from coming.... but now I know it’s also a place for brunch! This place has everything you can think off from the sea..... and even some premium beef and delicious Tamago. I even walked into the restaurant opened by the Tuna king himself!

A really fun food market to explore. You can easily spend a few hours here tasting everything. Even though there are restaurants that people queue up for for a while, it's not even necessary as there are so many vendors to eat little bites at so you can try everything. Try not to go on Wednesdays as most sushi places are closed on Wednesdays. We found the morning to be more enjoyable, as later on it got pretty packed. Just wander and have fun!

Great place to walk around. Fresh sea foods with great quality, touristy atmosphere but fun to stroll around. Lots of choices, fish, meat, fruits, everything! Could easily spend 1-2 hours walking around here. A lot to see. Some stalls will have very long queue, try another day or earlier time, 10-15 mins to wait is okay, longer than that is not worth the effort, but if you want to wait it will be part of the experience. I spent around 8,000 JPY tasting around, very fun!

From fresh raw fish to fresh fruits. You’ll find everything here. There are literally all kinds of beans can be found here. It is quite busy in the morning. You’ll see a lot of peoples are in queue to buy or to eat breakfast here. Even though if you don’t buy anything the place is worth visiting.

A variety of shops catering to tourists from fresh seafood to snacks. Could easily spend a few hours here eating. There are also shops where you could buy souvenirs. It can get quite busy at times with tourists and tour gropus so best visit early to avoid the crowd.

This is the place where you can find all the fresh seafood with the cheap price! I recommend you to go there early in the morning though. It usually finishes by the 1-2pm :)

I wasn't able to see the actual fish market, maybe next Tokyo visit I'll wake up very early to see it all. There were lots of places to eat from, many small restaurants and vendors every corner. Definitely has fresh seafood, good quality and great price as well. Some places sell out quickly so I recommend going early as you can. I'd say bring cash as most places only accept cash. Highly recommend!

Recommend for people who love to eat the fresh raw fish sushi. Do it at least once in your lifetime eating fresh fish sushi in Japan! This place catered to tourists since the majority of the visitors were tourists. There were long lines for the famous sushi’s restaurants. In my opinion, the prices were unreasonably high for a street food, a piece of sushi costed as much as 1,500 Yen’s and a screw of beef for 3,300 Yen’s. You would need at 10,000 per person to eat until you are full. The market was very crowded with a good restrooms, ATM machines, and information booth/ gift shop near by. Note, this is a place for people who like to eat chicken and vegetables here but it’s fun to watch people who like to eat sushi and beef and fish

Incredibly fresh seafood and food stalls everywhere. Go get some sushi in the alley restaurants for the most buttery and delicious sushi ever. It's a little pricey, around 2500 yen for the cheapest option, but so worth it. They also have oysters on the streets for 500 yen and they're HUGE. They are such an experience as they're super creamy and rich - they explode in your mouth.

Fantastic place! Strongly recommend to visit. You need to be there before 1 pm be wise they close early. A lot of fresh food. Cooked, griller, raw...You can find other things as well. There are tax free counter as well.

Live tuna auction at Tsukiji Fish Market, which closed for good over the weekend. Currently being relocated to eastern Tokyo after much delay. Shot in 2015 with my old Canon 7D. It’s always surreal to revisit and re-edit old photographs with current knowledge. One thing that been a huge lifesaver is nailing my exposures correctly back then, giving me a good base to edit them three years on.

Visited in the late morning and it was far less crowded than expected. We walked though the cafe area above and down to the streets. I love an open air food market and appreciated all the specialties stalls but was surprised at how “dull” everything seemed. For me I would expect bustling crowds, lively people and tantalizing smells. It was somehow lacking in any of that. The food that I tried was fresh and delicious but I definitely recommend visiting in the morning where there’s more activity.

A must visit when in Tokyo. If you love the good old street vibes and seafood, do visit here to try out the various food and snacks. It's a joy just watching the stall owners hawk their stuff. Been here a couple of times and still love it alot. Do come on an empty stomach! Recommended!

Tsukiji Market is the largest fish market in the world, and over the years it has become one of the most special sights in Tokyo. If there is one thing at Tsukiji Market that attracts the attention of travellers from all over the world, it is the tuna auction. Every day, between 5:00 and 6:15 in the morning, tons of freshly caught (and frozen) tuna are auctioned off. All Japanese agree on one thing: the best place to eat sushi is around Tsukiji Market. In the vicinity of the market, you'll find restaurants open from 5am until noon.

Super fun outdoor market with a little bit of everything for everybody. Lots of fresh seafood which is one of their namesakes but also had a wonderful selection of souvenirs and restaurants to try. Some really great street food vendors as well for a quick grab and go bite. Prices all around varied and definitely tourist pricing on some of the items which seemed inflated at times. Go in the morning or early afternoon as it can get busy and closes early.

Here you can find the best seafood, fish and wagyu ever. The freshness of tuna is incredible! I recommend everybody visiting this market. Please be aware that it is better to visit this market before 12:00 o'clock. Here I have tried the Best tuna in my life. I will surely visit it again!

Haven't been here for years, it was a great and seafood market with fresh seafood and snacks with reasonable price. Now 70% of the shops are closed, and the remaining shops are selling stale seafood.... Oyster shell and sea urchin shell are reused and put back oyster and sea urchin from package which are just defrosted. Toro is the worst I've ever ate. Very disappointing experience

Must-go if you are into markets and street food. Food quality and price may not be the best and most reasonable in this market, but still good for the experience. Be warned that prices might be two times more than regular seafood places. It is extremely touristy, locals would go to the Tsukiji food court or alleys behind to do their marketing, so be sure to explore those alleys near the market too.

Delicious fresh fish market that's abundant with lots of sushi and raw oysters. I loved coming to Tsukiji Market because of it's rustic and nostalgic appeal. The prices vary so make sure you walk around the alleys and negotiate for the best deals. I highly recommend visiting this market if you like sea food I guarantee you will leave extremely satisfied!

In 1923 the Great Kanto Earthquake destroyed Central Tokyo (including the Nihonbashi Fish Market). The Fish Market was then relocated to the Tsukiji district and began its operations in 1935. One of the most famous and best places to buy fresh seafood. Lots of restaurants and options for Kaiseidon (海鮮丼). A little expensive though. Another thing you can try here: tamagoyaki (long lines on the weekends).

We went for an early 11am lunch, which was recommended by our taxi driver. This was a good decision as it allowed us to skip the lunch rush. There was so much to see and take in, and certain stalls drew the crowd’s attention and had long lines. Be ready for a wait for some of them. Shops close up by 2pm, so plan accordingly.

Really nice and big fish market, full of places to eat amazing and crazy things but also full of tourist.

I was on a tight schedule. I didn't have time to visit the famous Tsukiji Market at the new location. So I visited Tsukiji Outer Market. There is a lot of sea food sold here, and it looks delicious :). You can spend hours walking around, on nearby streets there is a lot to see. I was happy to have spent time here. It is an interesting place to visit in Tokyo.

Biggest and most impressive fish market in the world. It has changed greatly in the last 2 years since my last visit. There us a newer indoors sections which is quite enjoyable and clean especially when it is over 35 degrees outside. You can find so many cool things here and have amazing food all along the way.

Great spot to walk around and get a feeling for how locals cook and buy seafood. Had some of the freshest sushi in my life. The A5 wagyu and tuna cooked right on the street was also excellent. Definitely worth spending an hour or two walking around.

)district adjacent to the site of the former Tsukiji Wholesale Market. It consists of a few blocks of wholesale and retail shops, as well as restaurants crowded along narrow lanes. Here you can find fresh and processed seafood and produce alongside food-related goods such as knives. A visit to Tsukiji Outer Market is best combined with a fresh sushi breakfast or lunch at one of the local restaurants. The restaurants are typically open from 5:00 in the morning to around noon or early afternoon. Because most of the fish served and sold at Tsukiji Outer Market is delivered directly from Toyosu Market, this is one of the best places in Tokyo to enjoy fresh seafood

In my opinion, I am quite disappointed with the market. We plan to have breakfast, and food is too expensive for what we've got. I mean, you can get the same quality food anywhere cheaper. Only the tea shop that I like is fair price, good quality tea. Make fresh drink cup by cup. It's OK, just to go to see what it is like. But for me, I definitely will not go back.

Loved the visit here, alot of the seafood was very fresh and cooked to order. Although some places that sold jumbo prawns, they were already cooked and just heated up in the grill. The prawns were not juicy or flavorful. Just dry. Other than that, the experience was great and I loved that there were (what seemed) like miles of endless food and shops to visit. Come hungry!

I like it very much. So many things to see and to buy. And I always enjoy coffee at the friendly Yonemoto coffee shop

A lot of sea food can be found here. It is little bit too touristic however the food was still good and tasty. We had a lot of people there so it might get little bit crowdy. For us the most tasty thing was sea urchin bun. You cannot eat everywhere on the streets so be careful where you enjoy your food!

Come here in an empty stomach and bring tons of cash with you! There are so many food stalls, all with amazing food. Take your time to plan out what you want to eat. Would definitely recommend coming with your friends so that you can share food!

An eye opener, a must visit place if you visit Tokyo. All kinds of fresh seafood is available here, either to buy it home or to eat it there. I was lucky to witness a cutting of big tuna fish in front of a restaurant. Can get dry grocery too, and all sorts of pickles.

Best sushi I've ever had in my life. Great to walk around in the early hours if you are still adjusting to the time change. Lots of sushi restaurant options, seafood sellers, and a surprisingly large offering of knife sellers. Easy access by train.

Interesting place, if you love eating fresh fish. It gets very crowded as it closes at 11 am. So if you want to see different stalls and street food go early.

Best sushi I've ever had. You can't make a mistake with food options here. It's wonderful place to visit in a morning to start your day.

If you like seafood, you absolutely have to visit this market - no question. All of the food I tried was absolutely delicious. Yes some of the food is a little overpriced, but you can find some really reasonable prices. It's nice just to wonder around the streets and stalls to check out all the offerings. I had delicious Tamagoyaki for JPY200, huge oysters (I returned to that shop it was so yum), seared tuna skewer, Wagyu skewer and Wagyu sushi. Every store I went to had incredible food. Great market to find some souvenirs as well. Beware it gets very crowded. I arrived before 10am on a weekday and it was already packed. The lines were really long at a couple of the stalls so I chose to skip those ones. Absolutely worth a visit though.

This is a must see place of you're a sushi fan. We had some of the best at prices unheard of in the United States. Highly recommended. I would recommend going a little early to beat the crowds.

Last time here was 3 years ago. Still a good place to visit in the morning. We get the fatty tuna toro sashimi and very fresh uni from Hokkaido and enjoyed on rooftop. So fresh, so delicious. The taste we missed for 3 years. It was expensive but you can never taste the same back in home. Speechless of enjoyment

Great place to stroll through to see large fish and fresh food being prepared. Tried a heap of small samples of food which were really different and tasty, such as a small snack of dried smoked squid, and sampled some tea. Great place to try some different tastes. Also purchase a large fish knife and cooking utensils. Great place to spend the morning, just note that the market closes at 2:00.

10/10 would recommend you to drop by this outer market as you get to see what the locals purchase on a daily basis and even try out some really delicious street food. Try your luck to walk into the market and view tuna cutting session, whereby you get to taste the tuna later on.

20015 was when i visited this historical cultural fish market and enjoyed the fish curry dish , nice and good place to see deferments fish and seafood.

Such a cool experience to be on a crowded and busy street. Get there early because they start slowing down and closing up in early afternoon. There’s so much food to eat and enjoy, fresh sashimi and so much more seafood. It has a very touristy feel to it, but if you get there early enough then you’ll beat the tour groups. Don’t forget your Yen, most of the good spots only take cash.

very vibrant outdoor market that is near to the famous Tsukiji Fish market, there are many stalls along crowded alleyways that sells everything under the sun. From fresh fruits to fresh seafood to kitchenwares you can find many interesting things here. You need to cater a good 2-3 hours if you want to fully explore this amazing market. Highly recommended.

Plenty of fish goods and a lot of restaurant you can choose to sit in or take out and event stand desk beside the road. The restaurant I try is really good, the fish is really fresh and the taste of soup is good. The toilet is avoidable in the food court building that you can walk to the deep inside area of the market if you come from the main street. A lot of shop, food, drink and dessert are in this area, I have try some and no any regrets, it's worth to be here and have a good meal.

This is the place to go for great seafood street food in Tokyo! We visited on a Wednesday morning when most of the market is closed, but even so several shops and stands were still open leaving us with a wide variety to choose from, and with much less crowds than usual as well. Beef tongue, sashimi, seafood skewers are among the amazing things we tried and they were all perfect and delicious! Desserts and snacks are available as well, which taste just as good! This is a must-see for fans of street food and seafood especially!!

Very touristy and crowded but worth a visit. Take note to come earlier as shops start closing 2-3pm onwards. Arrived in a weekday and crowds were still massive. Prices are on the higher side but you should compare between various shops & their price tags before settling on one. Highlights: fresh charcoal grilled seafood, fresh uni.

This is the place that worth to visit, taste original fish and fresh seafood products, there are many options to buy. As well as many good equipment on making and dealing with seafood. Just to be in mind that in Japanese culture, they recommend not to stand or walk while eating.

Very nice local Market. I went on Sunday and arrived around 8:00 AM, it was a little late and some aces were already closed but still tasted some very good and fresh foo. Try the Daisada/ a kind of sweet omelette. If you like sushi there are a plenty of places where you can try them. Try to go early so you can have plenty of options.

Crowded but delightful marketplace. Amazing chocolate and red bean paste croissants at Rupan Le Pain. Great fried tuna curry at a little upstairs restaurant called East Indian Curry Company. The whole orange with a straw and the giant lobster cracker are great too. Delicious nut stand too, get the hazelnuts and pistachios. Kobe beef skewer for 5,000 yen is a delicious and memorable experience despite the cost. This market is wonderful!

I call it a tourist market because the majority of visitors are tourists. So, be prepared as well for the high prices they sell for. Many choices of fresh seafood, beef, and other food there, all delicious even though they are expensive. However, it's worth visiting and trying!

World class fish market. Fun to just walk and soak it all up. Be sure to get sushi for breakfast some place. Some shops have a wait and are 40 bucks (4000 yen). Some places you can just order to go sushi and it's 5 bucks (500 yen). For $5 I got fatty tuna, tuna, salmon nigiri. Had to get seconds. Also find a place that sells souvenirs- I got sushi magnets and gave them to family.

We were here 6:30 in the morning and some food stalls have already opened with people lining up. So definitely come here early to avoid the crowd.

Went to sushi restaurant and it was so amazing quality. It was top quality sushi, fish soup, beer, sake and beer snack. Highly recommend going there.

I was very impressed with this market. It's huge and you can find everything from chopsticks to tea here. I was able to try a lot of delicious dishes and if you are brave you will find things like raw whale meat to taste directly. I was completely thrilled because I discovered so many new things in such a small space.

The marked is no longer what it was, and it seems to be more of a tourist trap than an actual fish market now. The number of people was insane and you were barely able to browse the stalls without standing in line. If you walked a few minutes away from it, there seemed to be other stalls that serve the fresh fish as well with less of a crowd and more of the local people. The few food things I tried were amazing, though.
