I was staying near Tsukiji market while in Japan. Sadly never got around to visiting the auctions, but when I was walking around the market I noticed that it&#x27;s literally next to Ginza neighborhood with lots of highrise offices. If the market is gone, the land on which it was located would be very valuable indeed. Proximity to upscale district and plenty of waterfront property. It&#x27;s really not a place where a sprawling fish market should be.
