Hey Key, have you ever been to Tsukiji Outer Market? I heard it’s one of Tokyo’s must-visit places.
Of course! It’s actually one of my favorite spots in the city. Are you planning to go?
Yeah, I’m really interested. I love seafood, and I want to experience that lively market atmosphere.
Then Tsukiji is perfect for you. It’s famous for its fresh seafood, street food, and unique local shops.
I thought the market had moved to Toyosu though?
Good question. The inner market moved to Toyosu in 2018, but the outer market stayed in Tsukiji and is still very active.
Oh, I see. So what kind of shops can I find there?
More than 400! You’ll find sushi shops, seafood stalls, knife stores, dried food, spices, and even traditional Japanese kitchen tools.
That sounds amazing. I’d love to try sushi there.
Definitely! Some shops serve top-quality sushi and kaisendon—that’s a seafood rice bowl.
Yum. I heard the tamagoyaki is also popular?
Yes! Sweet Japanese omelets are a must-try. Some shops even give you a free sample.
That’s so cool. I also want to see Tsukiji Uogashi. What is that?
It’s a newer building in the market with modern fish shops and restaurants. It’s clean and easy to walk around.
Nice! Is it crowded?
It can be, especially in the morning. That’s why it’s best to go around 7 or 8 a.m.
Got it. I’m also curious about the knives. I cook a lot at home.
Then you’ll love the knife shops. You can watch demonstrations and even buy a handmade Japanese knife.
That would make a great souvenir too. What else should I see nearby?
Don’t miss Tsukiji Hongwanji Temple. It has a unique Indian-style design and is very close to the market.
That’s unexpected. A temple with Indian design in Tokyo?
Yep! It’s very photogenic and peaceful, a nice contrast to the busy market.
Sounds like the perfect day—food, shopping, and culture.
Exactly. Just remember to follow the market rules—no eating while walking, and try not to block the walkways.
Thanks, Key. I’m super excited now. Let’s go together this weekend!
