Took the subway to Ginza street to look at the architecture.

                                   

                                

                               

From Ginza, we walked to Tsukiji Fish Market passing a temple along the way.

We reached the market at lunch time. It was very crowded.

We checked out knife shops in the outer market.

We navigated a number of streets that are part of the outer market.

                                

We eventually found our way into the inner market. This was long after the tuna auction was over.

 

A lot of the sushi restaurants, which are all tiny, had long lines of people waiting to get in. We found one that looked promising. Three of us got in, but Robin and Sidney had to wait for about 15 minutes before they got a seat.

                              

 

Eating at the counter with us was a guy that the sushi chefs said was the number one tuna seller.

                           

We wanted to take the monorail to the man made island of Daiba.

The ride felt almost like a roller coaster.

The island has a bunch of shopping malls and amusement park-like places.

 

Allie and Sidney were keen to see Gundam, an anime character.

                                 

We walked around until the sunset. The Fuji TV building:

 

                                

Then back to public transit during rush hour. We got to experience the squish of the subway cars. I had no railing or handle to hold onto but it made no difference. There was noway I could fall over in the crowd.
