Toyosu Fish Market 2026: Skip the Tuna Auction Lottery

Start with the thing almost every English-language guide gets backwards: both tuna auction viewing options at Toyosu are free. The market says so in two separate official documents, and the people who lose the lottery can watch the same wholesale floor from the second-floor visitor corridor, from 5:00 am, with no cap on numbers. The lottery does not sell you access. It sells you about twenty metres of proximity, and the price of those twenty metres is a 5:30 am assembly, photo ID for every person in your group, and instant demotion to the second floor if you are late. What will actually ruin your morning is something nobody has bothered to map: Toyosu does not have opening hours, it has three separate clocks — the market building runs 5:00–17:00 but only on trading days, the auction is finished by 6:25, and the Senkyaku Banrai complex across the walkway never closes yet does not open until 10:00. Stack those three and a three-and-a-half-hour void opens up between 6:30 and 10:00. This guide flattens all three clocks, explains why the first train from Shimbashi mathematically cannot make the assembly, why the Wednesday closure rule is wrong, and what is genuinely left at Tsukiji.

Three clocks, all disagreeing

Search for Toyosu opening hours and you will be told 5:00 to 17:00. That is accurate and it will still wreck your morning, because it describes one of three clocks running on that site.

Toyosu is not a single attraction. It is three operations sharing a postcode, each with its own switch-on time and its own closure logic:

Line the columns up and the trap surfaces on its own: the auction is over at 6:25, and the earliest anything at Senkyaku Banrai opens is the 9:00 foot bath, with the actual shops and restaurants at 10:00. Meanwhile the specialist street inside the market is closing down — it describes its own trading as early morning until around midday, which in practice means that by eight you are walking past shuttered stalls.

That void is the most useful thing in this guide, and section four deals with it. First, the auction, because the misinformation there is worse.

The tuna auction: both decks are free

Two facilities, two official names. The Tuna Auction Viewing Deck requires a lottery win. The 2F Visitor Corridor requires nothing at all. English guides tend to call these the upstairs and downstairs decks, which is both imprecise and misleading — they are separate places, not two tiers of one grandstand.

More importantly, the widespread claim that the close-up deck is paid is simply false. Section 6 of the lottery guidelines and FAQ item 2 both state that viewing is free of charge. There is no fee anywhere in this process.

The application rules contain several disqualifiers worth knowing before you waste a form:

• One entry per group. The lead applicant must be junior-high age or older, one email address may apply once, and the system does not support non-smartphone mobile phones.
• No same-day entry, no waitlist, no second round of applications, and no date changes — FAQ items 6, 10 and 23 close each door individually. You get the date you drew.
• Travel agencies and event companies cannot apply on your behalf (FAQ 17), and transferring or reselling passes, or recruiting companions commercially, is strictly prohibited (guidelines 12(4)).
• Photography is allowed but flash is banned, and intoxicated visitors are refused at the discretion of reception staff.
• Applications are not accepted from 25 December to 5 January. If you are in Tokyo over new year, write this one off and use the corridor instead — our Tokyo new year guide covers what else is running those days.
• The odds are officially unpublished. FAQ item 9 states that enquiries about application results and the drawing method will not be answered — so every blog quoting a win rate invented it, and this guide quotes none.

How the application cycle actually works

The structure never changes even though the dates do: applications open in the first third of the preceding month, results land in the middle of the preceding month, viewing happens during the target month. As a worked example from our verification date of 16 August 2026, the round then in progress was for October 2026: applications from 2 September 15:00 to 8 September 23:59, results around 17 September at 18:00. The September round had already closed on 12 August with results due 20 August, and it offered 20 viewing days — every trading day that month.

⚠️ Those specific dates rotate monthly. Check the official lottery page for your own month rather than trusting any date printed in a guide, this one included. We deliberately describe the structure rather than presenting one month as if it were the rule, because the month-specific version is stale within weeks.

Is the lottery worth entering? No

Guides treat winning the lottery as the Toyosu achievement unlock. Price the whole thing out and it is a bad trade for nearly everyone. My position is blunt: skip the lottery, walk up to the second-floor corridor at 5:00. Three reasons.

One: the currency is not money, it is where you sleep. A 5:30 assembly means a 4:30 alarm and being on a platform by roughly 5:10. As the next section shows, the first Yurikamome out of Shimbashi is 5:45, which rules out staying anywhere most visitors actually stay — Shinjuku, Shibuya, Ueno, Asakusa — unless you are paying for a taxi. You are re-planning your accommodation around twenty metres of viewing distance.

Two: the requirements are collective. Photo ID is not just yours, it is everyone in the group. One family member leaves their passport in the hotel safe and the entire group fails verification at the desk. And arriving late means being sent to the second floor — you will have paid every cost and received the free thing you could have had without applying.

Three: the upside is smaller than advertised. Both options overlook the same wholesale floor. The corridor has no headcount limit, opens at 5:00, and lets you stay as long as you like. The lottery slot is a fixed forty minutes, 5:45 to 6:25, after which you are moved on.

So who should apply? One profile, really: you are already sleeping in Toyosu, Ariake or Odaiba, you have nothing else booked that morning, and proximity is genuinely what you came for. Serious photographers and repeat visitors — go ahead, it makes sense. Everyone else should reclaim that morning and spend it on the corridor at five and a bathhouse at half past six.

Filling the 6:30–10:00 void

This is the section nobody else writes, and it is the one that decides whether your morning feels brilliant or bleak.

The auction finishes at 6:25. You walk out, and then what? The specialist shopping street inside the market — around 70 shops selling produce, dashi, pickles, tamagoyaki, knives, containers, kitchen kit and work whites — trades, in its own words, from early morning until around midday. That is a professional rhythm, and 8:00 lands you in the middle of the shutdown. There are 39 restaurants inside the market, entered from the third-floor pedestrian deck in each block, but the market itself warns that shop opening and closing times differ from visitor viewing hours, and no reliable primary source publishes them individually. So this guide prints no individual shop hours — that kind of number rots within a season.

Senkyaku Banrai, meanwhile, opens at 10:00 (9:00 for the free foot bath and a handful of second-floor eateries).

The one thing that genuinely fills those three and a half hours is the Manyo Club morning bath.

• Reception 5:00–9:00. Adults ¥2,200, elementary schoolchildren ¥1,100, ages 3 to pre-school ¥800.
• That price includes admission, bath towel, face towel and in-house facility charges, but not a yukata. Adults also pay a ¥150 bathing tax (under-12s exempt) — see our Japan accommodation and bathing tax guide for how these local levies work.
• 🚨 No extension past 9:00 am. Staying later means buying the daytime set instead (adults ¥3,850), or accepting the early-entry surcharge of ¥400 per hour before 10:00 — which works out more expensive.
• ⚠️ The main baths are cleaned 3:00–5:00 and the changing rooms are closed 3:30–5:00, so 5:00 really is the earliest usable time.
• 🚨 Entry restrictions are stricter than most visitors expect: tattoos, including temporary stick-on tattoos and body paint, are in principle not permitted; under-18s cannot enter unaccompanied; children not yet out of nappies and adults wearing them cannot use the main baths; outside food and drink is banned. Under Tokyo Metropolitan ordinance, anyone aged 7 or over, or 120 cm and taller, must use the gender-separated baths — families should settle that before arriving.

One correction while we are here: the free foot bath is the eighth-floor Senkyaku Banrai Foot Bath Garden, open to anyone from 9:00 to 22:00. The tenth-floor Observation Foot Bath Garden is reserved for Manyo Club guests. These get merged constantly online, with the predictable result of people being turned away on the tenth floor.

If bathing is not your thing, my second-best answer is to stop trying to fill the gap: leave Toyosu at 6:30, head back into town for breakfast, or move on to Tsukiji — where the officially recommended visitor window starts at 9:00 anyway, which times out neatly. Sitting around Toyosu waiting for 10:00 is the worst available option.

Closed days, and why Wednesday is a myth

This section matters more than everything above it, because getting it wrong zeroes out the entire morning.

The official wording: on closed days you cannot enter Toyosu Market, restaurants and retail shops included. Not most places will be shut — the facility does not admit you, and the visitor corridor and PR corner are both shut. The lone exception is the rooftop green space, open 5:00–23:00 regardless. It is a pleasant lawn with a Tokyo Bay view and it will not carry a morning.

🔴 Wednesday closures are not a rule

Closures are designated individually on an annual calendar, not by weekday. The 2026 calendar published 251 open days and 114 closed days, and seven Wednesdays are open:

• 6 May, 12 August, 23 September, 14 October, 4 November, 25 November, 30 December
• On 14 October, 4 November, 25 November and 30 December only the fruit and vegetable division closes — the seafood division, and therefore the tuna auction, runs normally. The calendar page annotates this explicitly.

The companion myth — public holidays are always closed — fails on the same calendar: 23 September 2026, the autumn equinox holiday, is an open day, and it appears among that month list of auction viewing dates.

Seafood division closed days, rest of 2026

⚠️ The 2027 calendar does not exist yet. On 16 August 2026 the official 2027 page returned a 404; the 2026 edition went live on 5 September 2025, so expect the 2027 one around early September 2026. Until then, any page listing 2027 Toyosu closures is extrapolating — including the seemingly harmless assumption that the same Wednesdays repeat. We are not guessing, and you should not book flights against a guess.

The practical move is embarrassingly simple: once your flights are booked, check every Tokyo morning against the official calendar before choosing which one goes to Toyosu. No itinerary trick beats it.

Getting there before dawn

The station is Shijo-mae (U-14) on the Yurikamome line, connected on the second level to the Senkyaku Banrai pedestrian deck, about four minutes on foot. The market building itself is entered from three points along the pedestrian deck, one per block.

Now the hardest fact in this guide. From Yurikamome official timetable data, checked 16 August 2026 against the standard timetable:

Translated: if you win a 5:30 slot, you must sleep somewhere you can reach the Toyosu platform by around 5:10 — the Tokyo Metro Yurakucho line station at Toyosu being the obvious anchor — or in the Ariake and Odaiba cluster for the 5:20. Otherwise it is a taxi.

⚠️ Being honest about where our research stopped: we could not obtain the first-train time for the Tokyo Metro Yurakucho line at Toyosu (the operator returned 403 to our requests), and we could not obtain first-departure times for the Toei bus stop or the Tokyo BRT stop either (the bus search system was rate-limiting). So this guide confirms the chain only as far back as Yurikamome departing Toyosu at 5:15. Verify the leg before that with the operator. We would rather show you where the evidence ends than fill the gap from secondhand sources.

On tickets, Yurikamome sells two passes: a one-day pass at ¥820 for adults (¥410 child) and a 24-hour ticket at ¥900 adult (¥450 child). The ¥80 difference buys a different clock: calendar day versus 24 hours from activation. For a Toyosu-plus-Odaiba day the one-day pass is almost always enough; the 24-hour version only pays off in the unusual case of two consecutive dawn visits.

⚠️ A house rule worth stating: Yurikamome does not publish point-to-point fares as text on its site — only these two passes — so we do not print a Shimbashi-to-Shijo-mae fare. Check the ticket machine on the day. If you are still untangling which operator runs which line in Tokyo, our Tokyo trains and subway guide sorts the JR, Metro and Toei layers out first.

Two closing notes: Toyosu Market provides no visitor parking or bicycle parking and explicitly asks you to use public transport. Senkyaku Banrai does have a car park, but on a spend-linked tariff covered in the next section.

For this article, hotel location is not a comfort question, it is a feasibility question. If you are seriously going for a 5:30 slot, your search radius shrinks to Toyosu, Ariake and Odaiba — one of the few times in a Tokyo trip where where you sleep decides whether something is possible at all. Compare Tokyo hotels on Trip.com, and search by those neighbourhood names rather than by ward.

Senkyaku Banrai: the facility that never closes

Toyosu Senkyaku Banrai, the complex across the walkway, joined the site in 2024, and it is a separate facility running separate rules — currently the single largest source of confusion about Toyosu.

Its official FAQ is unambiguous: it has no closing days and trades even on Toyosu Market closed days. Entry is free — the shops and the eighth-floor foot bath garden charge no admission, and the only paid element is the Tokyo Toyosu Manyo Club bathhouse.

Practical facilities: coin lockers on the second floor near the pedestrian deck, a prayer room on the second floor of the bathhouse building, free Wi-Fi on SSID SENKYAKU_BANRAI, and wheelchair loan (limited units, advance request). ⚠️ There is no pushchair storage service — worth knowing if you are travelling with a toddler, because Tsukiji does offer that at its information centre.

Drivers: the car park is spend-linked. Using the facilities it is ¥300 per 20 minutes all day, but ¥500 per 20 minutes if you do not spend at least ¥2,000 on site; spending ¥2,000 earns two free hours, ¥3,000 three hours, ¥5,000 five hours, then ¥300 per 20 minutes after that, validated at the second-floor information desk between 9:00 and 21:00. Manyo Club spending combines with it. Honestly, do not drive here — the market itself has no visitor parking and the train stops at the door.

⚠️ A brand-new source of confusion

Senkyaku Banrai calls its retail and dining zone Toyosu Jogai Shijo — literally Toyosu Outer Market. That name was adopted on 1 September 2025, replacing a longer previous one.

The problem is that it has nothing to do with Tsukiji Outer Market — different organisation, different site, and Tsukiji Outer Market never relocated. The names are close enough that search results now blend them. Keep the line clear: Outer Market with Toyosu in front of it is a shopping zone inside Senkyaku Banrai; with Tsukiji in front of it, it is the original street in Tsukiji.

Tsukiji did not disappear

The stubbornest myth about Tokyo fish markets is that Tsukiji is gone. What actually happened on 11 October 2018 is that the inner wholesale market relocated. The outer market stayed exactly where it was.

And it is not merely surviving. Tsukiji Outer Market runs an official site with a current-year calendar, shop directory, events and an information centre. Tsukiji Uogashi — established by Chuo City, roughly 60 retailers operated largely by former intermediate wholesalers, spread across two buildings — trades formally, and describes its own mission as being supported by food professionals while remaining approachable for general customers and tourists.

Its FAQ also settles two things guides get wrong:

• Best time to visit: the official recommendation is 9:00 to 14:00.
• Sundays and public holidays: not a full shutdown — about one third of shops, restaurants especially, remain open.

Which makes the division of labour clean, and rather complementary:

The Tsukiji Uogashi timing trap

Tsukiji Uogashi opens its doors at 5:00 and closes at 15:00, but the window when every shop is trading is 7:00 to 14:00. More to the point, the official guidance states that 5:00 to 9:00 is reserved in practice for professional buyers, and general customers and tourists are asked to come after 9:00 — the same signal as the outer market 9:00–14:00 recommendation.

Eating on the ground floor is discouraged; use the rooftop plaza or the third-floor rest area instead. The Uogashi Shokudo food hall on the third floor runs 7:00–19:00 with last orders at 18:00 and welcomes general visitors. ⚠️ The operator flags these as provisional hours adopted in response to circumstances, so treat them as more volatile than the rest of this page.

Trading days follow the Tokyo Metropolitan Central Wholesale Market open and closed days — meaning the closed-day table in section five applies here too. The outer market has no unified hours at all, though, and says so on its own calendar page: that calendar shows the wholesale market closures, some outer-market shops close anyway, and you should confirm with individual shops directly.

Two rules of Tsukiji etiquette visitors break most

The outer market publishes an eight-point etiquette code. The two that cause the most friction:

• Before 9:00 is professional buying time. This is the flipside of the 9:00–14:00 recommendation — arriving at seven means getting in the way of people whose livelihood depends on the aisle you are standing in.
• Eat inside the shop or standing in front of it. The official wording states that walking while eating obstructs other pedestrians. Finish the skewer where you bought it, then move.
• The remainder: put suitcases in coin lockers (pushchairs can be left at the information centre), move in small groups, ask before photographing (some shops forbid it), do not handle the food, do not haggle — the market states outright that bargaining is not a Tsukiji custom — and smoke only in designated areas.

One extra for new year travellers, straight from the FAQ: although a few shops trade year-round, most stay closed until 4 January. For year-end shopping the crush peaks around midday and the official advice is to arrive between 7:00 and 8:00, buying anything that keeps well in late November or early December instead. If you are building a whole eating itinerary around this, our Japan food guide helps you set the budget and the shortlist.

Three itineraries, including a closed-day rescue

Everything above, collapsed into three plans you can copy directly.

Plan A: the no-lottery standard (my recommendation)

1. 4:45–5:00 — leave from Toyosu, Ariake or Odaiba. Staying in central Tokyo means a taxi here, or switching to Plan B.
2. 5:00–6:30 — the tuna wholesale floor from the 2F visitor corridor. No application, no cap, stay as long as you want. Walk the rest of the visitor corridor while you are there; it stays open to 17:00.
3. 6:30–9:00 — Manyo Club morning bath (adults ¥2,200 plus ¥150 bathing tax). ⚠️ No extension past 9:00, so watch the clock.
4. 9:00–10:00 — the free eighth-floor foot bath garden at Senkyaku Banrai.
5. From 10:00 — the retail and restaurants open properly. Brunch, souvenirs, done.

The virtue of this sequence is that it has no dead time in it, and it needs no lottery, no ID check and no punctuality.

Plan B: the sleep-in version (which most people should pick)

1. 8:30 — leave central Tokyo for Tsukiji.
2. 9:00–12:00 — Tsukiji Outer Market plus Tsukiji Uogashi, inside the officially recommended window. Remember to eat at the stall rather than walking with food.
3. From 13:00 — take the train to Toyosu for Senkyaku Banrai and the eighth-floor foot bath.
4. ⚠️ This plan does not include the auction — that finished at 6:25. Only Plan A gets you the auction.

Honestly, on a packed five-day trip, Plan B has the better return on effort: you get the atmosphere, the seafood and the shopping, and the only thing you give up is a 4:30 alarm. Our Tokyo five-day itinerary shows where it slots in on the final morning.

Plan C: you hit a closed day

1. 🚨 Premise: the market building is entirely shut. Do not turn up hoping.
2. From 10:00 — go straight to Senkyaku Banrai, which officially trades on market closed days. It is the only part of Toyosu still available.
3. Same district: teamLab Planets is also in Toyosu and walkable from the market. Our teamLab Planets versus Borderless comparison helps you choose between the two venues.
4. Or redirect entirely to Tsukiji — about a third of shops trade on Sundays and holidays.

Closed days, weather and dawn timetables tend to go wrong together on the same morning, and all three are things you end up checking on a phone at 5am, so a working data connection matters more here than on a normal sightseeing day — a Japan eSIM from KKday activates before you fly and works the moment you land. If the rain arrives instead, several options in our Tokyo rainy day guide sit in this same corner of the bay.

Conclusion, in four lines

One: do not rebuild your trip around the lottery. Both decks are officially free, losers watch the same floor from 5:00 with no cap, and all the lottery buys is distance.

Two: the 5:30 assembly is an accommodation problem, not a willpower problem. The first Yurikamome from Shimbashi is 5:45. The one that works leaves Toyosu at 5:15.

Three: decide in advance how you fill 6:30 to 10:00. The market is closing down and Senkyaku Banrai has not opened; the cleanest answer is the Manyo Club morning bath, which cannot be extended past 9:00.

Four: check whether the market is even open that day. Wednesday closures are not a rule — seven trade in 2026 — and on a real closed day you cannot get inside the building at all, while Senkyaku Banrai carries on as normal. That one check is worth more than any itinerary trick on this page.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1：If I lose the tuna auction lottery, can I still see the auction?

Yes — the exact same auction floor. Tokyo Metropolitan Central Wholesale Market states it plainly in FAQ item 21: you may view the tuna wholesale floor (the tuna auction) from the second-floor visitor corridor without applying for the lottery at all, from 5:00 am on any market open day. FAQ item 5 adds the part that really matters: there is no cap on how many people can enter that corridor. The lottery guidelines themselves confirm that unsuccessful applicants may view the floor from the second-floor corridor. So the lottery does not buy access — it buys proximity. Losing it costs you distance, not the experience.

Q2：Is the close-up deck paid and the second floor free?

No. Both are free. The word appears in two independent official documents: section 6 of the lottery guidelines states that viewing is free of charge, and FAQ item 2 asks how much viewing costs and answers that viewing is free of charge. The lottery deck costs nothing either. What separates the two options is not money but three other things: whether you must enter a lottery, how close you stand, and the 5:30 am assembly time. Worth fixing the vocabulary too — the official names are the Tuna Auction Viewing Deck (lottery) and the 2F Visitor Corridor (walk-up). They are two separate facilities, not an upstairs and a downstairs.

Q3：Is Toyosu Market closed every Wednesday?

No — the Wednesday rule is a generalisation that breaks constantly. Closures are designated day by day on an annual calendar. For 2026 the market published 251 open days and 114 closed days, and seven Wednesdays are open: 6 May, 12 Aug, 23 Sep, 14 Oct, 4 Nov, 25 Nov and 30 Dec. On four of those — 14 Oct, 4 Nov, 25 Nov and 30 Dec — only the fruit and vegetable division closes while the seafood division trades normally, which means the tuna auction runs. The public-holiday version of the myth fails too: 23 September 2026, the autumn equinox holiday, is an open day and appears in that month list of auction viewing dates. ⚠️ The 2027 calendar was still returning a 404 when we checked on 16 August 2026 — do not extrapolate 2027 closures from this pattern.

Q4：Can I at least eat at Toyosu on a closed day?

No — you cannot get inside the building at all. The wording is explicit: on closed days you cannot enter Toyosu Market, restaurants and retail shops included. This is not the usual amount of places will be shut; the entire facility is shut, visitor corridor and PR corner included. The single exception is the rooftop green space, open 5:00–23:00 even on closed days. But here is the distinction most guides blur: Toyosu Senkyaku Banrai across the walkway is a different facility, and its official FAQ states it has no closing days and trades even when Toyosu Market is closed. So a closed day does not cancel your morning — it just means market building out, Senkyaku Banrai (from 10:00) and Tsukiji in.

Q5：I am staying near Shimbashi. Can the first Yurikamome train make the 5:30 assembly?

No, and no amount of determination fixes it. According to Yurikamome official timetable data (checked 16 August 2026, standard timetable), the first departure from Shimbashi is 5:45 — identical on weekdays and weekends. The train has not even left by the time you were supposed to be standing at the assembly point. What does work: Yurikamome departing Toyosu at 5:15, arriving Shijo-mae at 5:18 (which means sleeping somewhere you can be on the Toyosu platform by about 5:10), or an Ariake or Odaiba hotel and the 5:20 from Ariake, arriving 5:24. Taxi and walking from Toyosu station are the other options. A Yurikamome one-day pass is ¥820（大人） for adults if you are pairing Toyosu with Odaiba. ⚠️ Honest limit on our research: we could not obtain first-departure times for the Toei bus stop or the Tokyo BRT stop this round, so confirm those directly with the operators.

Q6：The auction ends at 6:25. What is there to do until 10:00?

This is the single biggest planning trap at Toyosu. The specialist shopping street inside the market (roughly 70 stores) describes its own hours as early morning until around midday — by 8:00 it is winding down, not opening. Meanwhile Senkyaku Banrai across the way opens its retail at 10:00, its restaurants at 10:00 (a few second-floor places from 9:00) and its free eighth-floor foot bath at 9:00. That leaves roughly three and a half hours with almost nothing in them. The one clean fix is the morning bath at Tokyo Toyosu Manyo Club: reception 5:00–9:00, ¥2,200（大人） for adults (plus a ¥150 bathing tax, no yukata included, and no extension past 9:00). Bathe after the auction and you surface exactly as Senkyaku Banrai opens.

Q7：Did Tsukiji disappear when the market moved?

Only the wholesale operation moved. The outer market never left. The move date was 11 October 2018, and what relocated was the inner wholesale market. Tsukiji Outer Market still runs its own official site with a current-year calendar, shop directory and events, and Tsukiji Uogashi — roughly 60 retailers in two buildings, established by Chuo City — trades formally, describing its own goal as serving food professionals while also being approachable for general visitors and tourists. Two official FAQ answers settle the questions people get wrong: the recommended window for sightseeing is 9:00 to 14:00, and the claim that everything closes on Sundays and public holidays is false — around one third of shops, mostly restaurants, stay open. The division of labour is clean: Toyosu for the auction and the wholesale floor, Tsukiji for browsing and buying.

Q8：Can a tour operator book the tuna auction lottery for me?

No, and it is prohibited in two places. FAQ item 17 states that applications from event companies and travel agencies are not accepted — only from the participant. Section 12(4) of the lottery guidelines goes further, strictly prohibiting transfer or resale of viewing passes and the commercial recruitment of companions, with viewing refused on discovery. Treat any paid tour advertising guaranteed auction deck access as a red flag. Three more rules eliminate people on the day: every member of your group needs photo ID (a health insurance card is accepted for under-12s), identity verification failure means no viewing, latecomers are redirected to the second floor, and intoxicated visitors are refused at reception.

Q9：Can I buy fish from the intermediate wholesalers at Toyosu?

No. The market states it directly: the intermediate wholesale floor serves supermarkets, retailers and restaurants, and general consumers cannot purchase there. Toyosu is a working wholesale facility that happens to admit spectators along a dedicated corridor, where eating and drinking are prohibited on the walkway and benches, and where no visitor parking exists — the market asks you to come by public transport. If your goal is shopping and grazing, that is what Tsukiji Outer Market and Senkyaku Banrai are for.
