Tsukiji Fish Market, Tokyo
The world’s largest fish market is a sight to behold: for generations, throngs of tourists and locals have shuffled through the wholesale arcade of 1,200 stalls, haggling with fishmongers for fresh catches of the day, from swordfish and caviar to seaweed and salmon. Before dawn, even before the crowds descend, live tuna auctions are held—a sight witnessed only by a lucky few each day. Sadly, your chance to see this storied landmark in its original location is officially over, as it moved to Toyosu, across central Tokyo’s Sumida River, in preparation for the 2020 Summer Olympics.
