Sushi for Breakfast at Tsukiji Fish Market

Tsukiji Fish Market in Tokyo is the largest and most famous fish market in the world.

The Tsukiji Fish Market is well worth the visit, not to mention the 5am starting time.

Make sure to get there on time if you want to see the fish auctions (frozen fish auctions at the Tsukiji Fish Market are open to visitors).

Once you’ve had your fill of the auctions, wander through the endless rows of fish and shellfish in the Tsukiji Fish Market itself.

The Tsukiji Fish Market has some of the best and freshest sushi in the world.

Make sure to stop by the rows of restaurants near the back to eat your fill of great fish.

The popular restaurants fill up quickly so make sure to get there before 6:15am if you don’t want to wait in endless queues.
