If you are someone who loves street food, then this is a what heaven may look like to you. There are good eats in all direction, with lines forming everywhere. We spent a good part of a day here combing through all the small streets and alleyways looking to try everything our stomachs can possibly hold. Let’s just say that we’ll need to make another trip … … I’m looking forward to it.
Btw, for an area with lots of seafood and fish carcass lying around (see my pic), we could not believe that there was no scent of fishiness. I mean zero. Shocking!

The food is so fresh! They drop off fresh fish in the morning and sell it that morning. It opens early so it’s great to go when you’re still jetlagged. You can order fresh oysters and eat it right away. They mainly sell seafood but there are so many other things to eat as well.
It can be super crowded and hectic to find the actual fish market area. Some people go to the harbor place which also has some places to eat but not as much.

This a great place to walk around and look at all kinds of assorted fish, fresh and dried, canned, bagged, you name it. There are tons of sushi places to eat if you get hungry. The area does not smell bad and there are no flies. You can literally walk for hours. It’s really a lot of fun and I would put it on the must-​see list. Allocate at least half a day. They seem to close at about 1pm for a break in the heat. We left at that time but I heard that the stores reopen later. There are other things to buy besides fish. We bought tea, and I saw some kitchen stores. Very eclectic area that centers around fish and food.

Awesome extension to the Tsukiji Market!
Freshest seafood and sashimi that you can ever find in the world — located right in Tokyo, Japan. I love this seafood haven — so much, that I went here 2 times during my 4 day vacation in Tokyo.
Love, love, love (ashiteru). I was on cloud nine.

So we couldn’t be bothered to come at 4:30AM, but that’s no huge loss! Do not be scared away by all the people who say you have to come at daybreak!
There are tons of booths that sell knives, preservatives, fish, fish-​related snack foods, ramen, sushi, etc. And the best part is that there are samples! Sure there is a line for some of the more notable Tsukiji sashimi places (eg, Sushi Dai). But we ended up at Sushizanmai without a wait and it was just as fresh and delicious.

We didn’t make it in time to see the auction at the Tsukiji Market. However, we enjoyed browsing the outer market to see the various food stalls and fresh sushi. Ate some tamago on a stick, dried squid, and grilled unagi. We avoided all restaurants with horrendous lines.

Why line up for hours for sashimi when there are plenty of other food choices and sashimi options where you don’t have to wait? Ramen, sushi, grilled items, so many food to try. I had the best bowl of soba ever at one of the stalls here. And it was so cheap.
I didn’t really see the need to wake up early in the morning if you aren’t going to the actual fish auction.
Be careful when walking around, you might get run over by carts.

Amazing place to explore! Tons of fresh fish (they usually ask if you need ice packs) to buy and eat, tons of food on a stick, random sweets, a bunch of dried stuff here and there, etc. The only part that annoyed me was the small cars/​carts driving through recklessly (even towards elderly people who can’t get out of the way as quickly).

We got to Tsukiji around 430 am but we decided that the Sushi Dai line was out of control so we walked around the outer market until the other restaurants opened up.
There are knife shops, home goods, wooden spoons, ceramic shops, dried seafood, tamago shops and all sorts of stores in the market. I would recommend walking around here if you get to Tsukiji before 9 am. You cannot walk into the actual market place till after 9 (when it opens up to the public) so this is a good place to kill some time, shop and eat!

Ramen, sushi, fish market, vegatables, mochis, fried seafood… you name it, they got it. It’s an adventure on its own to walk around the Tsukiji Outer markets. And yes, there are many many sushi restaurants that you can choose from. Simple sashimi dons to fancy omakase.

When you arrive in town on a national holiday, Tsukiji is almost a ghost town. It’s interesting that you may rarely witness it not bustling. However some of the outer market still open and even in the dawning hours you can have some amazing fish, grilled unagi, tamago snacks and a plethora of other things. During market open hours, it’s just insanity

I enjoyed visiting Tsukiji Outer Market then the actual Fish Market instead.
At least I don’t have to wake up at 5 am and even when I got here at 9 amish, there are still tons of vendors selling food and everything Japanese!
Everything looks good tastes good here. Sushi, Sashimi and even cooked food.
Tsukiji Outer Market is just my kind of market.

You could probably come back here everyday for a month and still find something new to try. If you’re a fan of sampling local fare, this is definitely a must go as they have such a variety of foods. Had a Tamagoyaki while wandering around because it smelled and looked so damn good, even after being stuffed with sushi breakfast. And it was so damn good, great combination of sweet and savory.
Other things to look out for: grilled clams, onigiri, ramen in a bun.

Wow, what else can you say? The Tsukiji Outer Market has so much going on so many options, so much to see. Just as it should be at a great market. As a tourist I would recommend walking through it all. Many places will have samples, so give things a try. You will be surprised. Also, if you are in town just for a couple of days this would be a great place to get a concentrated dose of good food. If you are going to have a meal here, look for the places with full seats, smile, get in line and enjoy.

I really enjoyed the Tsukiji markets! There are so many things to buy, so unless you live in Japan, make sure you visit on your last day in Japan so that you can take home fresh foods. My parents got mentaiko, jyako, and fish. I just got some shiso wakame, garlic, and sesame. They have some knickknacks you can take home as omiyage too. The best part of this Tsukiji market is the ramen shop. It’s called Wakaba, I think. It only sits three people so make sure you go off peak!
