Postcard from Tokyo: Part II

Posted by

While we were in Japan we visited Tsukiji Market, a large wholesale market for fish, fruits, and vegetables in central Tokyo. It is best known as one of the world's largest fish markets, handling over 2,000 tons of seafood per day. Take a look at some of the pictures I snapped while Martha and I were there.

  • Great pictures from the market. I went last year and ended up easting sushi at 6AM! They also had some great noddle stalls and wholesale stops.
