Tokyo Fish MarketTokyo fish market is one of the most Exciting Things to do in Tokyo. Fish and seafood worth millions of dollars are sold each day at the Tsukiji central fish Market. Piles of oysters, shell fish, deep sea crabs, eels and other small sea creatures bubble in running water In hundreds of stalls. After you stroll around, check out the area around the market - small charming shops selling kitchen utensils, and Japanese food. 
I suggest you wear casual warm clothes, and shoes you can wash easily. There's a lot of slippery sea water from containers, and water from hoses to keep the place nice and clean. The star here is Tuna. Tokyo fish market Tuna auctions are world known. The tails are sliced off so potential buyers can examine the quality, judging by the amount of fat. The auction is held in a fast, voiceless bidding language, which involves hand movement signs. Tuna Auctions start at 5 am. Getting up so early on your holiday is very disheartening - but worth the effort I can assure you. This is one of the most unique Things to do in Tokyo. The market is open every day except Sundays, Japanese Holidays, and second and fourth Wednesdays of each month. If you want to take it easy - I recommend you take a Tokyo Fish Market Tour, which makes visiting this striking place as simple as can be. The Excellent Tour company that arranges it is very reliable. After you attend the auction at the Tokyo market, and stroll around the hundreds of stalls, you might feel ready for breakfast. Breakfast in the fish market means sushi or sashimi, and here is your chance to get the freshest sashimi you will ever eat. Click here for
