It's touristy, but most travelers want to do the touristy stuff anyway. As far as touristy stuff goes, it's certainly far from the worst. I went there a few weeks ago because a Japanese friend had never been and wanted to go before it closed down, we had morning beers, a sushi lunch, and then went to hang in the nearby Hamarikyu gardens, it was a pleasant day. We even got to see a full tuna being opened up/cleaned/cut/etc., which you don't get to see everywhere. All that said, it remains to be seen whether the few streets of shops etc. will remain as active and bustling now that the market has moved.
