October 6, last day of Tsukiji Market

[CAM] October 9, 2018 14:00

 On October 6, the last day of Tsukiji Market, we went out to see a little bit.

 It was quite crowded in front of Tsukiji Market Station on the Toei Oedo Line.

 From the afternoon on the day, the general public was prohibited from entering the hall. The lower part is in front of the main gate.

 The out-of-market market was also quite crowded.

 With the closing of Tsukiji Market, one famous spot in Chuo-ku, Tokyo, which has attracted many tourists from Japan and abroad, disappears. After the relocation to Toyosu Market, the problem of redevelopment of the former site remains. Although it has been decided that it will be used as a depot at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics, concrete plans for subsequent redevelopment are not yet clear.
 The capital has set up an arterial road "Ring No. 2" on the site and built a transportation base for the Olympics, and then "promote development step by step." In the report, it is only abstract, such as "creating liveliness."

Opportunities loss will also be large due to the two-year delay in market transfer.
 Demolition work at the Tsukiji Market has been postponed, construction of Ring No. 2 has been delayed, and there are concerns about traffic congestion during the Olympics. Full-scale operation of the BRT (bus high-speed transportation system), which is expected to be a new transportation network in the coastal development area, seems to be delayed in FY2022.
