See Sumo without sitting through hours of tedious salt throwing and stare downs! Don't pay outrageous prices! See the famous wrestlers up close! It's called Asa Geiko (morning practice). There is none of the boring salt throwing and stare downs that you have to sit through during the tournaments, and you don't have to pay 30 000 yen for a front row seat--you just have to get there early (8am at the very latest). You can see all of the famous names up close and personal, and some of the friendly ones will even pose for pictures. After several hours of warm up and technique practice, they play an exciting 'King of the Castle' game where one wrestler stays in the ring fighting bouts without any rest until he is defeated.

Tsukiji is a photographer's dream, with thousands of wizened old fish-mongers standing warming their hands over open fires, or slicing open fish with long, wicked looking knives. The fishermen and whole-salers are incredibly colourful characters, and when they talk to each other, even if you speak Japanese, you probably won't understand it because of their unique dialect. Be prepared for lots of blood and fish guts on the floor don't wear your best shoes. The best time to go is around 5 am and if you arrive after 8 you won't see much of anything.

Unlike any other big city in the world, people talking to some one who sit next to he or she, people smile to each other some one you don't really know, people saying hi to each other, but in Japan almost no one doing this. Not even for the Japanese, amongst the foreigner vs the local, most of the time foreigners has really hard time to know the local Japanese, in order to change this, the best way is through any society or club or organization. The fact is, this involve a lot of money for the membership.

So, I suggest you to join any government built sport club as you don't need to pay a big amount of money, besides, you can easily make friends or even you life partner. Who knows?
