Tsukiji Fish Market

 Tsukiji fish market, which is just south of downtown Tokyo, is the largest fish market in the world.  It's an amazing place that is a must visit.  You have to go as early as possible in the morning.  Early every morning the fishermen bring in fresh fish to the market to be auctioned and distributed throughout the city and the country I believe.  There are hundreds of individual businesses inside.  It's a very busy business place and as a tourist you feel sort of in their way but it's what tourists do.  You watch then cut up the fish and see many varieties of seafood (some still alive) you've never seen before.  Here's a huge tuna being prepared with a sword.

 Tons of crates of fresh fish for sushi.

 There's various types of carts that are used to get things around the market.  The fish smell is quite strong but the experience is so cool!

 We decided that it was imperative that we make fish faces for the occasion.

Here's some video as we walked around the place.  You can get an idea of how busy the place is.  You hear the band saws cutting up the frozen fish and there's some video of it as well.
