4. The fish auction in Tokyo
Growing in popularity, many tourists may want to visit the fish auction in Tokyo. There are a few options for you but all are free. Toyosu is the home to the famous auctions and markets but arrive early to watch the market in action (aim to arrive for 6am).
However, Tsukiji was the original home of the auction before is moved to Toyosu but you can still visit Tsukiji for plenty of restaurants and the traditional fish market. In fact, if you don’t intend on getting up super early, then head to Tsukiji; the market is more authentic.
Getting to Toyosu: You can catch the subway to Shijo-mae Station in the center of the market but, if you intend on arriving early, you may be better off getting a taxi.
Getting to Tsukiji: Catch the Toei-Oedo line to Tsukiji-Shijo Station or take the Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line to Tsukiji Station.
