Tsukiji Outer Market

TIME : 2016/2/17 14:09:02

Here, rows of vendors hawk related goods, such as dried fish and seaweed, rubber boots and crockery. It's far more pedestrian friendly than the inner market, too. There’s also the market’s Shintō shrine, Namiyoke-jinja, whose deity protects seafarers.

Uogashi-yokochō , a cluster of tiny sushi restaurants inside the market, dishes out the freshest fish you’ll find anywhere. Sushi breakfast at Tsukiji is one of Tokyo’s superlative experiences. Most shops in the Outer Market close by 2pm.
