Finding delicious
food to eat in Tokyo is definitely not a
problem as there are many good choices available
here with many eating shops selling excellent
cuisine . The most interesting though can be found
at the Tsukiji Fish and Grocery Market whereby
there are more then 450 types of shell-type
seafood and fish traded by wholesalers.
A main attraction is
to watch the tuna auction where huge and frozen
tuna are unloaded from the docks, laid out on
the ground and then being numbered. The auction
begins as early as 5.15 am and after visiting
the fish market, visitors can then enjoy the
fresh sushi for breakfast at the Uogashi-Yokocho,
a street lined with many small fish shops and
restaurants. Located nearby is the tourist
attraction of Hamarikyu
Garden, a well-known garden with the
characteristic of the Edo Period and the
Tokugawa Shogunate.
