Tsukiji Fish Market – Disneyland for Whackjobs
Can you justify waking up in the wee hours to visit Tsukiji market (Again) and risk getting run over by oversized R2D2 fork trucks or risking the wrath of the market inhabitants who probably loathe the sight of camera toting tourists of whom our presence they merely tolerate because their government said so?

Thank heavens I was living with a friend who lives just 1 station away from Tsukiji market, so taking an early morning trek there was not THAT BAD. Just a hint to anyone wishing to visit Tsukiji market…….think twice if you are visiting on the 3rd Wednesday of every month. I have not read this in guidebooks before, but the market is closed on these days. Do not ask me how I know………..

The only clue you will get is that this is somewhere near the fish market
