Japan Day 6: Fish Market and Baseball

Day 5 we challenged the morning and got up early so that we could go to the Tsukiji Fish Market. Though we were not challenging enough to challenge the sunrise and see the tuna auction. Most of our group had sushi for breakfast (fresh fish brought in that morning in fact!). Here is a row of sushi shops.


I walked around with my parents and did some shopping in the market while we waited for them to eat. Then we were able to walk through the fish market (once the actual shoppers had mostly finished their purchases). It's probably the size of a city block and filled with bins of seafood and shopkeeps selling anything from tuna steaks, to octopus, to oysters.






Afterwards, we decided we wanted to go to a baseball game at the Tokyo Dome, and it happened to be opening day! We bought standing room only tickets and watched about 3 innings. They had cheerleaders and girls selling beer who were carrying small kegs on their backs.




Later that night while we were walking around, we found a human robot! Oh the things you see in the streets of Tokyo...


All in all, another successful and tiring day...
