10 Best Tuna Auction Tours in Tsukiji
The tuna auction happens at Toyosu now, not Tsukiji, and starts around 5:30am, so these are proper early starts. The upper gallery views it through glass; the closer deck is by lottery. Afterwards most groups head back to Tsukiji’s outer market for a seafood breakfast.
Discover Tokyo’s seafood scene with a private tour of Toyosu & Tsukiji Markets, including the iconic tuna auction, food tastings, and market insights.
