12. Tsukiji Fish Market

If you want to try fresh, high-quality seafood, Tsukiji Fish Market (築地市場) is a place you can’t miss in Tokyo! One of the most popular fish markets in Japan and in the world for that matter, Tsukiji Market welcomes numerous visitors even after the inner market was officially closed in 2018. Despite what many people think, you can still visit the outer part of Tsukiji Market, but most of the wholesale vendors have moved to the new Toyosu Market. The outer market is still packed with lively shops and restaurants serving a wide range of seafood dishes. It is one of the best places to try some fresh sushi or sashimi. Don’t forget to visit the Tsukiji Honganji, a beautiful Buddhist temple which dates back to 1617. This temple is only a 3 minute walk from the market and is also the starting point of our popular Tsukiji Food and Drink tour!
