What other travelers are saying about Tsukiji Outer Market

This fish market was so much fun. Even though it was raining it kind of added to the affect. Packed with people, fresh seafood and fish. It is hustle and bustle. The food we ate was wonderful too. Fresh sashimi, strawberries, octopus fritters, barbecued eel. I wish we stayed longer so we could visit more often but it was a great time! Would love to go back!

Vibrant open air market with many stalls of fresh seafood, fresh produce & eateries. Packed with people but fun to look & sample various food. Wished we had more time to spend there. Go early as some closes early. Prices are very reasonable for the quality. You won’t disappoint for the visit.

If you ever visit Japan, this market is an absolute must-see! It’s a cluster of narrow streets filled with small shops and stalls offering freshly prepared seafood. The atmosphere is vibrant and full of local charm—you can watch the food being made right in front of you and enjoy it on the spot. Make sure to bring cash, as most vendors don’t accept credit cards and operate on a cash-only basis. (continuation coming...)

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.

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!
