Most of the activity in the Fish Market happens between 5am and 8am, so by the time we got there, things had quieted down. Although it was quite hectic anyway when we were there - people rushing back and forth, little trucks zipping down the aisles, some people pulling carts. We constantly had to be on the alert for things coming up behind us. We can't imagine what it must be like at around 6am in this market!
There were acres and acres of fish in boxes
So many interesting things to see
These shells were huge!
Pretty octopus
One huge fish head!
Stall owners would come here to get a block of ice which would ride up a shaft to be crushed and then the owner would stand below and catch the ice in a box as it was being crushed.
Getting ready to cut some tuna with that HUGE knife.
More pretty octopus.
After leaving the Fish Market, we walked through an outer market where all kinds of things are sold. Here we are eating some egg dish that was actually a little sweet.
This stall that was selling all kinds of mushrooms.
We had no idea, but they drive on the opposite side in Japan!
A picture of Tokyo, and also you can see how the cars are all driving on the left side of the street.
There are two typhoons off the coast of Japan right now. We've had some rain and mist every single day and tomorrow one of the typhoons will be passing fairly close to the east coast of Japan. Both typhoons are expected to stay away from Japan and go out to sea, but we will still get rains from them. Tomorrow is supposed to be rainy and windy, so our plan is to stay put until that passes.
