Tsukiji Fish Market -Tokyo, Japan

I had heard so much about this I just had to go but when I began researching It did mean that I had to get up at 4 am to make sure I was in the first 40 people chosen because that is the limit they have every day. So I got up at 4 am and walked for 15 minutes to the meeting place and realised That some people of got up before me but I was number 32 so I was safe.

The tour beginswith a walk through the market loading and unloading area which is absolutely chaotic and we were rushed along between gaps until we reached the actual entrance to the fish market.

Once inside the building basically just walk along and hear a lot of auctioning Going on in Japanese and lots of people shouting which I think maybe are numbers. All the pictures below are taken from within the hall.
