Tsukiji Outer Market's "Monzeki Street"

The video “A view of Monzeki Street in the Tsukiji Outer Market（【街並み】築地場外市場 もんぜき通り）,” introduces Monzeki Street in the Tsukiji Outer Market. Monzeki Street is a shopping avenue in the Tsukiji Outer Market located in Tsukiji, Chuoku, in Tokyo.
The original Tsukiji Wholesale Market moved to Toyosu Market in October 2018, but the Tsukiji Outer Market is still open in the same location in Tsukiji even after the original Tsukiji Market moved.

The street is located on the north side of the Ichibabashi intersection, along the Tsukiji 4-chome and 6-chome Shin Ohashi Street between the Tsukiji 4-chome and Shijoubashi intersections.
There are over 30 shops on the street, and it is the most popular sightseeing spot at the Tsukiji Outer Market.
The name of the street “Monzeki” comes from the Monzeki Bridge that used to be in Tsukiji.
