The Spring Festival in Tsukiji Outer Market has become an annual event.
This year is an enlarged version of the Golden Week from April 27 to May 3, partly due to the 750th anniversary of Shinran Saints in Honganji Temple.
First of all, for the three days from April 27 to 29, "750 Square" appears on the precincts of Honganji Temple!
A large collection of local gourmets from Iwate, Miyagi, Fukushima and neighboring prefectures of Tokyo.
Local characters will also be gathered.
In the out-of-market market, the “750 Fair” will be held from April 27 to May 2.
Special items are packed, and luxurious products are won by lottery for every 1,000 yen receipt.
And I was waiting on May 3rd! "Half price market".
The gem of each store's specialty is a half price, you can't sell it.
This half price market is expected to be very crowded.
I will teach you the unique techniques of the local area.
①The half price market starts at 10 o'clock, so before that, get a list of half price items of each store and a flyer of a map.
②Check the flyer and prioritize the items you want to buy.
→Most of them are limited in quantity, so they line up from stores that are likely to disappear soon.
Egg-yaki "Matsuro" is very popular, so if you do other shopping, it may be sold out.
③A hurry → The narrow roads are crowded, so it may be faster to go around the other side of Harumi-dori St. or Shin-ohashi-dori St.
④If you want to take a break, go to Tsukiji River Park or Higashiginza. → There are few places where you can sit down and calm down in the market, so if the weather is nice, go to Tsukiji River Park in Hongan Teraura.
It is a calm place where the bustle of the market is like a lie, with a lot of greenery and birds singing.
Also, if you walk 5-6 minutes, Higashiginza is home to the hottest spot Kabukiza, and there are a number of cafes and restaurants around the area where you can slowly settle down.
stamp rally commemorating the 50th anniversary of Higashi-Ginza Station is also being held.
I'll have to go to Tsukiji during Golden Week!
