What other travelers are saying about Tsukiji Outer Market
Very busy and vibrant place. We've had our best eel rice dish here. It's not the cheapest but certainly worth it.
There's plenty of restaurants to choose from and they are priced roughly the same throughout.
It's easy to get to via JR line or subway and it's best to visit early in the morning. Most importantly, don't eat before you go. You need space for all those fresh and delicious seafood!
Even though it's a tourist trap. Double price as the locals say, the amazing exchange rate makes up for it. Haha. Lovely place indeed. Love the variety of food there. Great hospitality from the vendors and great tourist information booth. There's a 7 eleven atm right next to the information booth to get your cash out. All cards accepted. Would go again with a bigger appetite. Recommend whatever the haters say.
For us the food was just ok. There are certainly better places to eat for better quality. It's very commercial and we felt like it was more of a tourist trap. Walk through if you must, but find a restaurant nearby for better food. And as you can see we tried quite a few things.
I love to visit a market when we travel, and though I know it is very touristy and not cheap the experience is great. We ate quite a few things you can’t regularly get back home and the stalls we went were very good. I recommend the grilled seafood (scallops, crab and abalone to try). You have to have the grilled tune skewers and eat food quality tuna sushi. Finish with curry bread!
A must-visit tourist destination when in Japan. You can find yourself in a crowd of people navigating through the masses to get to interesting shops that serve delicious and fresh products. I was able to try some fresh tuna, oysters, uni, and more! Don’t fall victim to buying everything you see - prices here are in the higher end due to being a tourist trap. A worthwhile visit still!
