Tokyo's famed Tsukiji fish market -- the world's biggest -- will be moved to a new location, the city's top official confirmed Tuesday, after months of delays over concerns about toxic contamination at the new site. But city governor Yuriko Koike added a new element to the long-standing relocation plan, saying the current site would eventually be redeveloped to capitalize on Tsukiji's globally recognized brand. The present location, a popular tourist attraction that hosts an early-morning tuna auction, is earmarked for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.
