Ota Market

Welcoming visitors to its fish, food and flower auctions

Nearly all visitors to Japan have heard of Tokyo’s famed Tsukiji Market, but the oft-visited spot has become increasingly stricter over the years regarding who may have access to the bustling area. However, just a short distance away, the Ota Market (Ota Ichiba in Japanese) boasts a site that’s even larger than Tsukiji and happily welcomes visitors to its fish, food and flower auctions.

Ota Market first opened its doors in 1989. Today, the facility moves an incredible amount of items through its warehouses daily, including around 3,600 tons of produce and nearly 33 tons of seafood products. The on-site flower market is one of the largest in Japan.

Visitors to the market must inform their arrival to the guard at the office, and are given an English-language brochure with a detailed map of the tour course. Be sure not to miss the rooftop section, where Mt Fuji is visible on clear days. The route also brings visitors to special raised catwalks where the individual auctions can be clearly observed.
