Watch Maguro Tuna Auctions Up Close! This Wholesale Market Feeds Tokyo Citizens.
To avoid further deterioration, the aging Tsukiji Market, known as the “kitchen” feeding Tokyo’s people, was moved to Toyosu in 2018.
Along with improving safety, observational tour routes were set up, making it easy for visitors to enter the market.
The market had been divided into 3 blocks. Courses have been set up for observing maguro tuna auctions in the Fisheries Wholesale Market Building, as well as in the Fruit and Vegetables Building, which has a visitor tour color-coded in seasonal produce.
The Fisheries Intermediate Wholesale Market Building features an observation gallery and shops selling items related to the market. From the rooftop, Tokyo tower may be seen. Since the fish auction starts at around 5:30 am, head there early in the morning.
From the deck, watch as wholesalers compete in auction, starting from about 5:30am

I visited five years ago.
The latest hygiene management and the scenes of auctions you can see through the glass were impressive.
Tsukiji was great, but I was really moved by how they've created this new style of market for the future.
I still prefer the lively atmosphere and environment of the old Tsukiji Market.
The seafood here is super fresh and really tasty!
The new market is much more organized and clean. There are set routes for tourists to follow.
Even though the facilities here are newer and cleaner, I still prefer the vibe of the old Tsukiji Market.
