So, because I went to bed so early Japan time, I was up incredibly early, say around 2 am! Yep, so what do you do in Tokyo at 2 in the morning. Well, thats easy, you go to the Tsukiji Fish Market. It may not sound exciting at first but this place is the world's biggest fish market. I have never seen so much fish in one place. How the Oceans aren't devoid of life I'll never know after visiting this place. The market ran on small stalls jam-packed together,with about 10-15 stalls deep and it took about 5 mins of walking to get from one end to the other. They had everything from Octopus and clams to Salmon and Tuna larger than life (I'm working on getting some photos uploaded soon so be patient guys).Had the most freshest sushi breakfast ever considering I had probably seen it alive less than half an hour ago. From there I went to the Hama-Rikyu gardens and had a stroll around in one of the countries most nationally favoured gardens. They used to belong to the Tokugawa Shoguns during the Edo period, so I savoured this with a traditional Green tea overlooking the lake. From their I went for a stroll through the Ginza area, this is every female shoppers dream I found out (Lish you would have loved it). Shop after department store after shop of boutiques, clothes, perfumes etc the list goes on.
After narrowly avoiding my wallet going flat I headed to the Imperial Palace. Now, apparently you aren't allowed to just stroll in which is a real shame because I would have liked a nice chat with the Emperor. So instead I went for a stroll around the Gardens, again very Impressive. To finish off the day I went to a place called Akihabara, which if anyone knows Japan is home to about every Electrical, game, manga and anime shop in Tokyo. Paradise for me...... Quite a full packed day really and this is just the beginning.
