Tokyo
THE doors of Tokyo's iconic Tsukiji fish market - the world's biggest - are set to close after more than 80 years. But maybe not for good.
Tokyo governor Yuriko Koike said Tuesday that the world-famous site of early-morning tuna auctions will be relocated to an area that used to house a gasworks in the Toyosu district near Tokyo Bay. The metropolitan government plans to then give Tsukiji near the upmarket shopping area of Ginza a facelift and reopen it to tap into its name recognition, Ms Koike said.
