For two days from October 11 (Sat) to 12 (Sun), the Tsukiji Autumn Festival was held at Tsukiji Outer Market, which was crowded with more visitors than usual. There are many items that are sold at bargain prices, and some of those who are looking for shopping seemed to have walked around various shops with large bags.
On the 11th (Saturday), a tour called "Edo Enjoyment Town Walking" and "Tsukiji / Tokyo Bay Coast Yurateku" was also held as a collaborative project between Chuo-ku and Koto-ku. I also participated as one of the guides. Some customers were new to walking slowly in Tsukiji, but they seemed to be wrapped in the charm of this area again. I would be happy if you could say, "I want to come again."
Also, on this day, the "Hatsuho Festival" of [Tsukiji Namiki Shrine] was held. I am ritual thankful for the harvest of autumn. In the afternoon, an old-fashioned "knife style" was also shown.
Tsukiji Central Market is preparing for the relocation to Toyosu, but the off-site market is expected to continue to operate in this area. On the 23rd of this month (Thursday), a new commercial facility [Tsukiji Nippon Fishing Port Market] will open. It is said that fresh seafood from the famous fishing port that Japan is proud of will be provided. I'm looking forward to it!
Prior to the relocation of the Central Market, construction of facilities that Chuo-ku will advance as a new "busy place" for the Tsukiji brand is also underway. It is planned to be a stylish and peaceful facility using the former site of the Tsukiji River tributary, which was previously used for parking lots. (The figure shows the expected completion of quotation from the Chuo-ku construction plan)
It goes without saying that Tsukiji is a place of moisture and liveliness in the future. Please look forward to the development of Tsukiji in the future.
