What other travelers are saying about Tsukiji Outer Market
Highly recommended spot to grab breakfast. The selection of fresh produce is aplenty. Fresh seafood in the form of sashimi and sushi are found in every corner. From what we had, loved the stall that had grilled tuna, it was amazing! There is also a stall that offers different mochi flavours.
Oh, and this spot is also known for the knives you can buy there. We had to buy one to bring home.
Would love to go back there to try more of the food!
It’s a huge tourists attraction and especially for large tour groups. Came here on a super chilly and rainy afternoon with huge crowds continuing to go through every single store on the street. Incredibly popular brands and sushi houses are everywhere here - almost always fully packed. Fantastic range of fresh seafood here, especially the fatty tuna. Many of them can be bought to eat on the spot in small portions, but some require you to be seated inside. The stall owners can speak fluent english, most of them at least, as non locals are their main target audience anyways. Hardly ever see any locals here to be honest and with the high prices to pay for, believe the locals may find alternative options elsewhere too.
Lots of options for souvenirs, food, and more. I went on a Thursday morning and it was just way too busy, it seemed like every place that I wanted to try had a long line and it was hard to walk through without bumping into people. Still pretty cool to see.
Must come here if in Tokyo. Great food, shopping, sights, and smells. Came several times to sample the goods. Great seafood, waygu skewers, and fruit. The strawberries are the sweetest and largest I have ever had. Be selective on which stall you enjoy as they are not all equal. You can get adventurous if you choose or keep it simple. Alleys are tight and cozy. You can eat at a restaurant or stand/walk and eat. There is something for everyone including kids.
What a vibrant place and such a pleasure to visit the market. The people working at the market are all so lovely and kind. We tried some different dishes like raw oysters (they were huge!), fresh tuna and the omelet on a stick. It was all very fresh and tasty. Would definitely recommend to visit!
