Adachi Market

Adachi Market is a large seafood wholesale market in Tokyo covering approximately 42,000 square meters that distributes fish and marine products throughout the region. The facility functions as a major distribution hub where daily shipments arrive and are processed for local restaurants and shops.

The market was founded in February 1945 and developed from traditional Edo-period markets that served the region for centuries. It has maintained its central role in Tokyo's food distribution system since its establishment.

The market shows Japanese seafood trading traditions through its early morning auctions and direct connections between fishermen and local shops. Visitors can observe how buyers and sellers interact following established customs that have developed over many years.

The market is located about five minutes from Senjuohashi Station and is easy to reach by public transport. The visitor areas are typically most active in the early morning hours when auctions take place.

Inside the market is Uogashi Shokudo, where visitors can select fresh ingredients directly from vendors and have them prepared in nearby restaurants. This setup lets people enjoy the market's freshest products immediately after choosing them.
