Tokyo¡¯s newest tourist attraction will open its doors on Thursday just across the street from the Toyosu fish market.
Designed to emulate an Edo-period cityscape, the establishment known as Toyosu Senkyaku Banrai hosts restaurants ¡ª many of which incorporate fresh products from the Toyosu market ¡ª and an onsen area that uses hot spring water sourced from Yugawara and Hakone, popular hot spring towns in Kanagawa Prefecture.
The new establishment was set to open in 2018 ¡ª coinciding with the Tsukiji fish market¡¯s moved to Toyosu ¡ª and serve the same role as Tsukiji¡¯s outer market. However, local opposition to the move and the COVID-19 pandemic have delayed the opening for years.
