Markets in Tokyo

The Tsukiji Outer Market is a labyrinthine network of narrow lanes packed with over 400 shops and stalls selling fresh seafood, Japanese knives, dried goods, street food, and kitchenware. Though the inner wholesale market moved to Toyosu in 2018, the outer market remains one of Tokyo's essential food destinations.

Toyosu Market is the world's largest wholesale fish market, replacing the legendary Tsukiji inner market in 2018. The modern, enclosed facility handles over 480 different types of seafood daily and offers public viewing galleries overlooking the trading floors.

Ameya-Yokochō (often shortened to Ameyoko) is a bustling open-air market street running under and alongside the JR tracks between Ueno and Okachimachi stations. Originally a post-war black market, it has evolved into a vibrant bazaar mixing fresh food vendors, discount clothing stalls, and international street food.
