Tokyo Things to Do Tips by Geisha_Girl

Watch out for the trolleys! Tsukiji Market Review

Be cautious when walking through the busy aisles of the fish market! Those fisherman are as aggressive in the fish market as the New York City cabbies!

Be especially cautious if you come across a wrecklessly happy Frenchman whizzing through the aisles on a mission for an early morning snack !!! ;-))

Party Animals at the Fish Market! Tsukiji Market Review

Every Tokyo local will tell you that the Tokyo Central Wholesale Market is NOT to be missed!

The Tsukiji Fish Market comes alive at 5:30am on Mondays through Saturdays. The Must See Activity is the big tuna auction that takes place in the inner market. HUGE....GIGANTIC fish carcasses are auctioned off by some of the most animated auctioneers on the planet!

Definitely a sight to see!

(NOTE: I must explain my attire in this pic. No, I do not normally wear platforms to the market! After all night Salsa-Dancing with the VT Tokyo crew, we found ourselves at the Fish Auction @ 5:30am!) Thank YOU ManuelEB and Co.!

It took all of my STRENGTH not to pass out on top of these tunas ........from sore feet and jetlag! ;-))
