The background that Tsukiji Market moved to a new site.
(1) Ex Tsukiji Market built in 1935 became deteriorated
(2) There was no enough space for loads in inner market and they were put in outer market, which could be a problem of food safety
(3) Lacking of car parking space caused constantly traffic jam.
