On the 28th (Saturday), "Platto Tsukiji" opened as a general information center for Tsukiji Outer Market
.
The place is in a building lined with Sensha bills on the right from Shin-ohashi-dori St. toward Namiki Shrine.
"I came to the Tsukiji market I saw on TV and magazines, but there are too many shops and I don't know where it is," or "What is a souvenir of Tsukiji?" I sometimes hear voices such as, but it is a place that I can't hope for for these people.
The name "Platto" has two meanings: the basis (platform) for disseminating information on the Tsukiji Outer Market, and the fact that you want Tsukiji to come casually. He seems to have been selected from many applications.
When you enter, there is a large map on the wall, and at the information desk next to it, you can make inquiries and get a map, but there are also pamphlets for foreigners.
We also sell goods, so you can use this as a souvenir
.
In addition, there is a smoking area (relaxing lounge) in the toilets and rest areas for full smoking, so you can rest slowly after you are tired of shopping.
By the way, in principle, the “in-house market” is a Sunday holiday and a few Wednesdays a month, but some “out-of-office market” is always open, so this “Platto Tsukiji” It seems that it is open from 8:00 to 14:00 on weekdays and from 10:00 to 14:00 on holidays. (We plan to close during the year-end and New Year holidays)
At the grand opening ceremony, 500 people will receive a cold storage bag by lottery.
I was able to win and receive it.
It's quite big and I'm looking forward to going to Tsukiji from now on.
