explanation: Tsukiji is located at Chuo Ward in Tokyo and occupies a district of Sumida River's right shore. It has come from a reclaimed land of the late 17th century. After the great fire of Mereki Era in 1657, Nishi-honganji Temple has been transferred there and Tsukiji has been urbanized. After the great earthquake of Kanto in 1923, the fish market, familiarly called Uogashi has been transferred from Nihonbash and become the actual Tsukiji central retailer market of Tokyo.
