Tsukiji Fish Market - A Behind the Scenes Look

If there is one thing that I recommend doing while in Tokyo, it's making a trip to Tsukiji, the largest fish market in the world. With over 60,000 registered employees, 900 wholesale dealers, and 400 different types of seafood on sale, the market is absolutely unprecedented. Over 700,000 metric tons of seafood are sold at Tsukiji every year, for a value of over 5.5 billion US dollars.

Here are some photos and videos of what goes down at Tsukiji every morning. Included are some exclusive clips of the tuna auctions, which tourists are no longer allowed entrance to due to their nuisance to the workers. Big ups to my friends Aaron and Christain for sneaking in and getting the footage.

Expensive Fruit at the Keio Department Store in Shinjuku

$80 for six peaches

$130 for this bunch of grapes

2 mangoes at $90 and $80, respectively

2 melons for $320. Don't worry, the stems are still attached

Japanese Politicians

Occasionally Japanese politicians will go cruising around Tokyo making ridiculous rants on a loudspeaker about why you should vote for them. Last weekend I was fortunate to capture one of these absurd scenes on camera, check out the footage below.
