We didn't get to see the auction - mostly because we were not inclined to get up at 4am whilst on holiday, but the market was great to see anyway. There were many shops selling beautiful fresh catch and we had a fabulous breakfast of fresh sushi at one of the little restaurants. A few reviews have said that its... More

There are a lot of restaurants and small shops selling different types of food and processed foods. The restaurants　are not cheap because it is so touristy, but there is no rip-off store.

Tsukuba market is like no other. Even if you don't go for the tuna auctions --- must line up at 430Am and they only allow 120 visitors in first come first serve basis. Having the sushi or Soba at the many food stalls at 7A is a treat!

Ah... *Note to all* If you wanna catch the auction, be there by 4am!! There's only 2 slots available, 5.15am and the 5.45am... More

The energy, diligence, enterprise and amazing sights, sounds and yes, smells of a market in full flow are inspiring. I even... More

So much fun and totally worth seeing before they move it to the suburbs!! Fun time, even if you go before they open it to the public - I went during the New Year time when the tuna auction is closed, but it is really cool to see. Wear shabby clothes, as the much seems to cling to your clothes... More
