Toyosu Market

What to know

Toyosu Market (豊洲市場, Toyosu Shijō) opened in October 2018 on the man-made island of Toyosu in Tokyo Bay. It took over the wholesale business from the aging Tsukiji Market and offers tourists a chance to watch market activity and dine at restaurants across its large, modern premises.

The huge wholesale market consists of three main buildings: two for seafood and one for fruits and vegetables. All buildings are connected to each other and to Shijo-mae Station via walkways. Tourists can enter along dedicated routes and view the action from observation windows overlooking the auction and wholesale halls for seafood and produce.

This is the building where tuna auctions take place between around 5:30 and 6:30 in the morning. It has two main halls: one for tuna auctions and another for auctioning other seafood. For tourists, the building complex houses a small restaurant area, many windows, and an observation deck to view the auctions.

This is the building where many wholesale businesses have their shops and sell seafood to licensed buyers. The wholesale market is off-limits to regular visitors, but the building offers several attractions on its upper floors.

This building combines the auction hall and wholesale market for fresh fruits and vegetables. Visitors can observe the action from windows on the upper floor. A small cluster of restaurants is also located near the entrance.

A facility for additional shopping and dining, targeting visitors and tourists, opened in February 2024 just next to the market. Known as Senkyaku Banrai, the nicely designed facility also contains a public bath and spa, which offers overnight options.
