Tokyo's famous Tsukiji fish market closed on Saturday after 83 years. The market is being moved to a new site in the Toyosu area of Tokyo. The new market will open on Thursday. Tokyo city planners closed Tsukiji market for parking for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics. Market workers at Tsukiji were sad on Saturday as they closed for the last time. One fish worker said, "I'm almost crying. Today is a sad day of goodbyes."
Tsukiji was called the "kitchen of Japan". A newspaper described why it was important. It wrote: "Tsukiji is a symbol of the global food trade, the home of Japanese cuisine, and is one of Tokyo's most popular tourist attractions." It added: "Tsukiji showed an older Tokyo that is disappearing". Tsukiji's most famous product was tuna. One tuna was sold for $1.7 million in 2013. The chairman of the Tsukiji Market Association said, "Everyone was pouring their heart and soul into their trade until the very end."
