Japan: Tokyo’s Tsukiji Market to Reopen to Tourists, Limit Numbers

By Larry Habegger | Permalink | No Comments | May 5th, 2010 | Trackback

Tokyo’s famous Tsukiji fish market will be reopened to tourists May 10 after periodic closures because of tourists’ misbehavior. The latest closure began April 8 after some 500 visitors disrupted the auction. Officials will restrict the number of visitors to 140 a day, handing out numbered tickets on a first-come, first-served basis when the market opens, with tourists divided into two groups so only 70 can observe the auction at one time.
