The Tokyo metropolitan government said Monday it has set the time for relocating the operations of the Tsukiji fish market to the nearby Toyosu waterfront area at between September and October 2018.
A specific date will be discussed with industry groups, according to the local government. The announcement came after Tokyo Gov Yuriko Koike said in late August that the market, where daily fish auctions attract many tourists, will be moved no earlier than next June.
The Tokyo government wants to reach an agreement on the date this month at a council consisting of officials from the municipality and businesses.
