Tsukiji Fish Market (1)


The Tsukiji Fish Market is widely considered to be a must-see in Tokyo. Luckily, our hotel in Shidome was within easy walking distance of the market, so we made our way over there early Saturday morning.

Hundreds of stalls in a large factory-style building, open at the sides. Water sluicing through the aisles. Mini-trucks whizzing back and forth. Workers wielding knifes the length of samurai swords.

Difficult to take photos, certainly.

Afterwards, sushi for breakfast.
