The Tsukiji Market was built in 1935 and is one of the world's largest aquatic markets, and is the most cost-effective place to eat sushi and sashimi in Tokyo. The market is called the on-site market, which is mainly responsible for wholesale, bidding and trading of fresh seafood. The next to the store street is called the off-site market, which concentrates various Japanese food stores, seafood shops, vegetable and fruit shops. The "tuna auction" opened in the early morning is the biggest highlight of the market. Only 120 places are open daily. If you want to see the auction, you may arrive in the early morning.
