Tsukiji Central Fish Market
The world's biggest seafood market, moving an
astounding 2400 tonnes of seafood a day and supply-
ing Tokyo's top restaurants, has stood on its current
spot since 1935, although it is slated to move to re-
claimed land on Tokyo Bay in the spring of 2015.
You'll find all manner of fascinating creatures passing
through, but it is the
maguro
(bluefin tuna) that has
emerged the star. Even if you don't arrive at dawn for
the tuna auction, you can still get a flavour of the
frenetic atmosphere of the market and feast your eyes
(and camera) on the incredible array of fish.
