Hours, closing days, entry rules and the tuna-auction ballot verified by the Toyosu Fish Market Tours team against the Tokyo Metropolitan Central Wholesale Market — last checked 2026-09-04

The auction hall before the bell and during it, ranks of frozen bluefin on the sea-green floor, a tail cut open to show the fat, sashimi trays, an empty sushi counter at six in the morning, and the lanes of the Tsukiji Outer Market as the shutters go up. Every photograph here comes from the operators' own listings for the departures Toyosu Fish Market Tours compares.

What you are looking at

Almost all of it sits inside three buildings on the Toyosu waterfront, and the morning runs in a fixed order. What happens here puts a clock on it, and the map page shows which building holds which of these rooms.
