Visiting the famed Tsukiji Fish Market in Tokyo's Chuo Ward is an awesome experience for foreign tourists and it can never be too early in the morning to go.
Well before 5:30 a.m. daily, dozens of foreign tourists can be seen awaiting the start of the daily auction of hundreds of huge tuna.
The auction of both fresh and frozen tuna many more than 1 meter long and fetching more than ¥1 million has become a major tourist attraction in Tokyo, particularly for visitors from overseas.
