What’s It Like?
A Land Reclaimed from the rubble of the Great Kanto Earthquake (1923), later developed into a vital infrastructure for post-war recovery with the establishment of gas plants and power stations due to its proximity to the city center. Transitioning from industrial to residential and commercial, it has seen the rise of large-scale office buildings and high-rise apartments since the 1990s.
In 2018, the fish market relocated from Tsukiji, though delays occurred due to concerns over soil contamination from the former gas plant sites. Observing the popular tuna auction scene is available from 5:30 AM to 6:30 AM. For further details, it’s advisable to check the market’s website.
Within the market, there are many restaurants where you can enjoy fresh seafood. Additionally, in February 2024, a new facility called “Senkyaku Banrai” opened, offering a diverse range of foods with a focus on fish. Recently, attractions like teamLab Planets Tokyo and DMM have drawn many foreign tourists.
With the Yurikamome transit system connecting to Shimbashi Station and the Yurakucho Line, it boasts high convenience.
