"Tsukiji" means "reclaimed land".
It is situated near the Sumida river on land reclaimed from Tokyo Bay in the 18th century.
On September1, 1923 the Gran Kanto Earthquake caused serious damages in the central part of Tokyo and destroyed 20 private markets. Completely razed, the Edo-era fish market of Nihonbashi was relocated in Tsukiji.
The Tsukiji fish market is known as one of the world's most famous fish markets.
It is possible to visit a tuna auction but the number of visitors is limited to 120 per day and people have to queue before 5.00 am.
Outside the market, the Namiyoke Inari shrine whose name means "protection from waves" .....
… and then the narrow streets with their small shop and restaurants of
fish and seafood …
