Eight tips on
manners at Tsukijito fully enjoy the Tsukiji
Outer Market

Professional buyers take
priority in the morning!
Priority should be given to professional buyers until 9:00 a.m. If you see people going around the market and purchasing goods, try not to get in their way.
Stay inside the eatery or
in front of the store
when eating!
Wandering around while eating can bother passerby. Please eat inside the eatery or in a space designated for eating.
Leave your luggage behind!
Large bags can obstruct the flow of people—please store them in a coin-operated locker when exploring the market. Strollers can be stored at the Plat Tsukiji information center for temporary safekeeping (500 yen per stroller).
Move in small numbers!
The Tsukiji Outer Market has narrow streets and small shops. Please refrain from moving around in large groups. Hold your child’s hand when walking.
Ask before taking pictures!
Ask the shopkeeper for permission before taking photos of a shop. Some shops have signs that prohibit photography.
Don’t touch the foods!
The foods in the market are valuable products for sale. Touching them or poking them with your fingers will lower their commercial value. Please do not touch these products with your hands, especially raw foods. If you need to check something, ask the shopkeeper.
Don’t try to bargain!
Carefully-selected products are sold at wholesale prices. Bargaining over the price is not customary at Tsukiji.
Smoke only
in designated areas!
Smoking is permitted only in designated areas. Do not smoke while walking around or litter cigarette butts.
