This post is the sixth in a series of nine illustrating my trip to Japan and the first of two illustrating my sixth day in Japan (March 26th). Matt and I wanted to go to the Tsukiji fish market Monday morning before he left for the US. The Tsukiji fish market is the world’s largest wholesale fish market and has world-famous tuna fish auctions almost every day. We left our hotel at 4:30 AM and got there just in time to see the tuna fish auction.
Continue to the post for more pictures.
In addition to the tuna fish, there were lots of other interesting sea-life available for purchase.
After Matt left for Narita Airport to return to the United States, I was on a Shinkansen (bullet train) to Kyoto.
I arrived in Kyoto around noon and it was absolutely beautiful.
At about 3PM I was able to check into the ryokan (traditional Japanese in) that I was staying in to drop off my bags.
