Tsukiji Fish Market

The subways don’t start running until 5:00 am. I don’t blame them, but that was no help to my plans of getting to Tsukiji before 5:00, to see the activity of the fish market. My body woke me up around 4am, just in time to grab my stuff and catch a taxi. The cab ride took about 15min from Asakusa and costs about 26 USD, but it was worth the trip and the cost.

The size of the fish market is hard to fathom, but imagine a foot ball stadium full of fishmongers.
