The Tokyo metropolitan government and the Chuo Ward Office came to a broad agreement Tuesday to open a fresh-fish market in the current Tsukiji wholesale market--scheduled to be relocated--it was learned Tuesday.
The new fish market will be partially open to the general public, according to Tokyo officials. This is the first time a concrete use for the site has been decided prior to its relocation.
The superannuated Tsukiji wholesale market is scheduled to move to the Toyosu district in neighboring Koto Ward by the end of fiscal 2014. (Yomiuri)
