Our Last Full Day, Where Did the Time Go?
Tsukiji Outer Market
A Little History: In Chuo City, Tokyo, the Tsukiji wholesale fish market opened in 1935, though similar venues have existed in the surrounding area since the early 1600s. In 2018, the wholesale market sales were estimated at 5 million pounds of fish DAILY. In October of 2018, the wholesale market moved 3km to a new facility. What remains, is the Tsukiji Outer Market, a, still impressive, smaller wholesale and retail fish market spread over and through several blocks. As will happen, other food-related vendors have also moved in, so again, you can get almost anything for the kitchen.
Huge Oysters!
Live Prawns
A Little Torched Tuna
Fish on a Stick Stall
Grilled Eel on a Stick
Fresh Wasabi
The day is looking clear, so off to the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building Observatory - another 30-minute train ride. So maybe from over 200 meters up, we can see Mt Fuji and other highlights.
