The Tsukiji Market with 83 years of history lowered its curtain.
What is the future of this news?
The theme tonight is here.
What is the future of the world-class market of Japan?
First of all, what kind of place is Toyosu?
The Toyosu Market which will finally open in 3 days.
The difference between Tsukiji and Toyosu is in this new facility.
Unlike the Tsukiji Market, an open area with concern on the hygiene because of influence of outdoor air in the hot summer,
the Toyosu Market is characterized by its closed-area facility.
By shutting off the outdoor air,
strict temperature control is possible, the temperate indoor is maintained to be around 10.5 degrees,
the freshness of fish can be kept.
It can be said that it is a huge refrigerator.
And then, the tuna auction which is popular even among overseas tourists.
While it could be visited up close at the Tsukiji Market,
there was also hygiene problem.
At the Toyosu Market, starting next year, the visitors will observe the auction at the deck from above.
In addition, this space is open to the public.
I had done coverage on this place in the past.
"While this is the rooftop of the Toyosu Market, the very top, it is considerably greened,
green plants are richly planted here."
This grass where we are walking through is also very soft.
As a measure again heat island, greening of the rooftop has been promoted, and it has become a square.
The Toyosu Market where every possible effort has been made.
How will it succeed the brand of Tsukiji?
In fact, whether the Toyosu Market will succeed is also related to how the site of the Tsukiji Market, where is said to be of area of five Tokyo Domes, will be utilized.
First of all, for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics,
the site of the Tsukiji Market is decided to be used as transportation base such as a place for the buses to stop.
However, the future of the site has not been concretely decided,
there is a proposal that the Tokyo government can lease the site out to private sectors, and use the rent income generated to repay the debt of the construction of the Toyosu Market.
Last year, Governor Koike revealed the plan to make the Tsukiji site into a food wonderland.
However, this is criticized that the wonderland will compete with the commercial facilities located in the Toyosu Market for customers, this plan is toned down.
As for what people want to make on the Tsukiji site, today,
zero asked people staying at the Tsukiji Outer Market.
Then, these wishes came up.
I want it to be a baseball field.
I want it to be a hospital.
Event hall where people can gather.
And then, hotel with casino.
Among them,
there is also opinion that a real Tokyo Disneyland located in Tokyo is wanted.
However, the respondents, as a preamble,
said that in fact it was the best if the market would come back.
The Tokyo government is planning to decide the policy of the redevelopment of the Tsukiji site in the fiscal year of 2018.
