Tsukiji's Fish Market
Tokyo is one of the biggest cities in the world, and therefore it is normal some of the biggest "whatever"... In this case, due to the special importance of fish in this country, it is not strange that we find the biggest fish market in the world.
Its name is Tsukiji, and is also one of the attractions of this incredible city. You should go around 4.00 a.m. to see the fish auction... But I haven't seen this yet, as we arrived with the first metro after 5.00 and most of the auctions (specially those of big fishes) had finished.
Anyway, it was worth to walk around and see the variety of fishes they had there and how they prepare them to be sold... The most impressive ones are the big tun fishes, lying on "operation tables" like in a hospital...
... being taken care by the specialized surgeons with professional tools ...
But it's not only about tun fishes. There are many other impressive fishes you may be used to see... or not, like eels, or huge octopus, or ...
And after this, tasting an excellent fresh sushi for breakfast... Isn't it a good plan?

Amazing, my friend. The problem for me is that it's really early in the morning. I think I'd go just after dinner, without sleeping :p
Liebe, kalte und deutsche Grüße
Esto me recuerda que en Valencia tenemos la lonja del pescado y que algun dia habria que hacer una excursion para verla a las 4 am ... no hay nada como salir de casa para hacer cosas que en tu tierra ni se te pasan por la cabeza!!
y antes de que alguien lo pregunte, si, los ingleses llevan calcetines blancos hasta las rodillas tambien aqui, asi que no es el mismo caso
Totalmente de acuerdo, Mario. Pero intuyo que esto es más espectacular que la lonja de Valencia y de El Campello, aunque sea por el tamaño. ;)
