What to know before visiting Tsukiji Fish Market - travel in Tokyo Japan eat sushi

The tuna auction requires special reservation and starts early.

Tsukiji requires travel to the outskirts of Tokyo with limited train availability in the early morning. 

Check the Tsukiji website for holidays and closings, which happen quite often.

Tsukiji market is completely closed during the New Years.

Tsukiji is about so much more than just tuna auction. Explore the market after 9am for a sushi breakfast.

Check the Tsukiji website for fresh fish of the season.

Advice from locals in Japan: Tsukiji is an active market not a tourist attraction. Fishmongers are very busy, stay out of their way to avoid interrupting their work or being rude, or the worst getting injured due to careless mistakes
