Travelers to Japan will have another year to visit the famed Tsukiji Fish Market at its current location for at least another year. They were planning to move in and be operational in 2014.
According to the Japan Times:
Tokyo's famed Tsukiji fish market isn't going anywhere for another year because more contaminated soil has been found at its new site in the Toyosu district, a Tokyo Metropolitan Government official said Friday.
The metro government initially planned to move the market to Koto Ward and reopen it by March 2015, but it looks like more cleanup work will be needed, said Yuki Ono, who is in charge of the new Toyosu market plan.
I visited the Tsukiji Fish Market in December 2010 and found it to be quite an interesting experience. I had some of the best sushi ever at one of the restaurants next to the fish market. I highly recommend a visit.
