Tsukiji Fish Market

















Tsukiji Fish Market, one of the busiest place in Tokyo for local merchants to get the freshest seafood. As always, this place can be easily reached using the Oedo Line. From the station, you just need to turn left and within 10 seconds you are at the gate.

The market has a slightly fishy smell but its usual because the main thing that happens here at 5am in the morning is the tuna auction. Don't get me wrong, the fruits and vegetables are fresh as well. I haven't bought anything from the market yet, but I sure the prices are reasonable as they are directly from the wholesaler.

Surrounding the area, there are good sushi places to dine in and also a line of food stall just outside them market on the right. People line up just to taste the sushi and to try the food around the area. I had the chance to taste the sushi, and it was amazing! Not to mention fresh as well.
