TOKYO – A giant bluefin tuna fetched 16.3 million yen ($177,000) in an auction Tuesday at the world's largest wholesale fish market in Japan.
​

Is the fish market the largest of all in the word, and is it located in Japan?

It's the world's largest wholesale fish market, so, yes, it's the largest in all the world.

Grammatically it might be the ' world's "largest wholesale fish market in Japan" ', or it might be the ' world's "largest wholesale fish" market in Japan ' but common sense tells us it is the ' "world's largest wholesale fish market" in Japan '.

Thank you, bibliolept and Julian

It isn't the best sentence simply because it's trying to shoehorn two places in the same clause as one fish market. It might be better as:
...in an auction Tuesday at Tokyo's Tsukiji fish market, the largest in the world.
