From the article of "Ranking of foreign tourists favorite sightseeing area in Japan,,,, 1st rank may surprise you."
Rather than Nippon's long symbol shrines and temples, Tsukiji is more popular for lively tuna bid and eating sushi. Also, "SupaWorld" and "Ooedo-Onsen-Monogatari"are upperly ranked. What foreign tourists look at Japan has changed greatly.
Trip site through word of mouth "Trip Adviser" release popular sightseeing area in Japan by the survery of site usage trend and word-of-mouth entreis from foreign users.
As a result of this survery, its ranking are listed as follows;
1. Tsukiji Market
2. Tokyo Disney Land
3. Pokemon Center Tokyo
4. Roppongi Hills
5. Tokyo Disney Sea
6. Asakusa Temple/Asakusa Kannondo
7. Kinkakuji
8. Fushimiinari Shrine
9. SupaWorld
10.USJ
What a surprise ! 1st is Tsukiji Market..For a period of time, foreign tourists are banned to look around due to bad manner.I have not imagined that Tsukiji Market are so popular,,..
To my surprise, "Pockemon Center Tokyo"is ranked as No.3. This is because children like it. In a way, it is probably "holy place".
Market place are important resources for tourism in not only Japan but also other countries. In a way, it is natural Tsukiji is 1st rank . In foreing countries, it is rare that the historical market change into modern and move. From perspective of tourism, it should be careful for Tsukiji Move.
This is different way of thiking.
