The Tsukiji Market ç¯‰åœ°å¸‚å ´ Tsukiji shijÅ, supervised by the Tokyo Metropolitan Central Wholesale Market æ±äº¬éƒ½ä¸å¤®å¸å£²å¸‚å ´ TÅkyÅ-to ChÅ«Å Oroshiuri ShijÅ of the Tokyo Metropolitan Bureau of Industrial and Labor Affairs, is the biggest wholesale fish and seafood market in the world and also one of the largest wholesale food markets of any kind. The market is located in Tsukiji in central Tokyo, between the Sumida River and the upmarket Ginza shopping district. While the inner wholesale market has restricted access to visitors, the outer retail market, restaurants, and associated restaurant supply stores remain a major tourist attraction for both domestic and overseas visitors. The `inner market` jÅnai-shijÅ is the licensed wholesale market, where approximately 900 licensed wholesale dealers operate small stalls and where the auctions and most of the processing of the fish take place. The `outer market` jÅgai-shijÅ is a mixture of wholesale and retail shops that sell Japanese kitchen tools, restaurant supplies, groceries, and seafood, and many restaurants, especially sushi restaurants. Most of the shops in the outer market close by the early afternoon, and in the inner market even earlier.
