Without a doubt, the Tsukiji Fish Market is listed, again and again, as one of the top things to do in all of Japan. And we cheapos are on board as it’s a cultural institution, good fun and free too! Plus, getting to witness the live tuna auction is was a once-in-a-lifetime kinda thing. (Read here for everything you need to know before visiting Tsukiji Market.)
It’s also a hot spot to get your sushi fix—and you’ll get nothing but the freshest in the outer market area. Try Sushi Katsura or Tsukiji Maguroya Tokyo Honten for a cheapo-approved sushi lunch.
The rough, rowdy, and thoroughly authentic Tsukiji Inner Market sadly closed in October, 2018 and the market vendors and buyers all shifted to a new location in the Toyosu waterfront district.
