Postpone the Transfer of the Tsukiji Market
By: Masae Shibasaki, Contributor
New Tokyo Governor Yuriko Koike decided to postpone the transfer of the Tsukiji Wholesale Market to its new location in Toyosu last August 31, 2016. There is evidence that the soil in Toyosu is contaminated. However, if the move will be delayed, the construction of road line No.2 might also be postponed. Both might adversely affect the Tokyo Olympic Games in 2020.
As a result, Ken Hirata, who is an expert in the Consideration Meeting on soil contamination of Toyosu, at a press conference on September 17 said, “There is no problem at all because it falls below the environmental standards of the subsequent investigation,” he explained.
Former governor Ishihara had promoted the relocation of the Tsukiji Market. However, it’s suspicious that there are many opaque trading involving this promotion. Governor Koike pointed it out, and promised to review the relocation plan as a pledge for the last gubernatorial election.
In deciding for the right place where to transfer the market, it’s necessary to consider the strict safety standards of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government. Toyosu already have enough of that standards. But, why is this problem emerging by now? Governor Koike is the first female governor; hence, she has many enemies. At the time of elections, other male candidates and politicians carried out negative campaign strategies against her. “Female is not suitable to be a politician,” according to them.
Discontinuation of the market relocation will affect the Tokyo Olympic Games 2020’s preparation. The success of the Tokyo Olympic Games is one of the achievements that is being expected within her four-year term as governor. The problem in Tsukiji transfer is not a simple matter. A lot of suspicious covert intention and corruption, including gender discrimination issues, are involved. Under this adverse situation, the new governor must accurately exercise her proper judgment and determination.
