I walked through the closed market of Tsukiji Market in spring.

On the day of the opening of the market, Shiomachi Chaya is also deserted.

What was Shiomachi Chaya? When there was a market in Nihonbashi 

Transport by ship is actively carried out.

The Nihonbashi River is shallow and low tide makes it impossible to ship.

A place where I was resting while waiting for the high tide.

The fruits and vegetables are only piled up with pallets.

There is a curved building, which is in the middle of Showa.  

It is also a remnant of the Japanese National Railways railway line running.

Since its relocation from Nihonbashi in 1935

 

In about half a year, the Tsukiji Market also moved to Toyosu Market.  

All buildings reminiscent of the good times of Showa are also demolished.

Let's take a look at these buildings now.
