What other travelers are saying about Tsukiji Outer Market
Having visited Tokyo over ten times, Tsukiji Outer Market remains a staple in my itinerary. While the food quality might not rival that of high-end restaurants, the market offers an unparalleled atmosphere and a diverse array of street food and local delicacies. From fresh sushi to grilled seafood skewers, there’s something to satisfy every palate.
The vibrant energy of the market, combined with the friendly vendors and the bustling crowds, creates an authentic and immersive experience. It’s a place where tradition meets the everyday life of Tokyoites and tourists alike.
I highly recommend visiting early in the morning to avoid the peak crowds and enjoy the freshest offerings.
Visited Tsukiji Outer Market on the morning of April 18, 2025, and absolutely loved the vibe!
The place was buzzing with energy—lots of people, amazing aromas, and a wide variety of local Japanese food to try. From fresh seafood to street snacks, there's something for every foodie.
Prices can vary depending on the shop, but the experience is well worth it. If you're around the Ginza area, this market is definitely a must-visit.
Highly recommend for anyone wanting to soak in authentic Tokyo street food culture!
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.
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!
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!
