Tsukiji Outer Market
Best time to visit
Early morning on weekdays, before 9:00, to catch the freshest selection and smaller crowds. Avoid weekends and late afternoons when stalls close and tourist crowds swell.
Budget tips
Market entry is free; individual stalls charge for food, samples, and knife shops. Bring cash, share small plates to save money, and choose morning set menus for better value.

About
Snabba fakta: Spices, fresh seafood, and vibrant produce combine to create an energetic atmosphere where food lovers can sample authentic Japanese flavors. The hustle and bustle of vendors calling out deals adds to the sensory overload, making every visit a unique adventure for both locals and travelers.
Höjdpunkter: Early risers can witness live tuna auctions where massive fish weighing up to 200 kilograms are sliced with precision right before their eyes. The air is filled with a heady mix of salty sea breeze, sizzling grills, and the chatter of vendors shouting out deals on fresh wasabi and hand-cut sashimi, creating an electrifying atmosphere like nowhere else.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes; alleys are narrow and involve standing while eating.
- Watch for delivery carts and bicycles, step to the side when they pass.
- Ask before photographing vendors or food close up, many are happy but some prefer no photos.
- Skip long sit-down sushi restaurants and try standing counters or small stalls for faster, often cheaper, fresh sushi.
