Toyosu Market, which was relocated from Tsukiji, has all new buildings and equipment, and a tour route has been established. General visitors can safely and comfortably observe wholesalers in action through the glass windows on the upper floor. In addition to tours, there are restaurants where you can enjoy dishes made with fresh ingredients at reasonable prices, and stores where you can purchase professional-grade ingredients and tools, so the attractions are endless.
