The tuna auction at Toyosu starts before dawn, and most visitors watch from a deck behind glass above the floor. Tours handle the early start and the logistics, then usually carry on to Tsukiji’s outer market for breakfast. Check the calendar first; the market shuts on Sundays, holidays and some Wednesdays.
Discover Tokyo’s seafood scene with a private tour of Toyosu & Tsukiji Markets, including the iconic tuna auction, food tastings, and market insights.
