History

Toyosu Center Building Annex and station (2011)

In 1937, the area of Toyosu was created on reclaimed land.[1]

Toyosu was chosen in 2001[2] by former Governor of Tokyo Shintarō Ishihara for relocating Tsukiji fish market, but there was a longstanding controversy over this plan due to the toxic contamination of the chosen relocation area.[3] The move to Toyosu Market was planned to have taken place in November 2016, in preparation for the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo.[4] Part of the plan was to retain a retail market, roughly a quarter of the current operation, in Tsukiji.[5]

On 31 August 2016, the Tsukiji fish market move was indefinitely postponed.[6] The Tsukiji fish market was caught in a controversy with the shop owners surrounding the former fish market rioting as they would lose their job if the fish market transfers its location.[7]

Opening of the fish market was subsequently rescheduled for 11 October 2018 despite concerns about pollution. [8]
