• The Fishy Markets in Tokyo

    Jan 11–13, 2025 in Japan ⋅ ☀️ 10 °C

    I remember going to Tsukiji Fush Markets 7 years ago.. I remember seeing big tuna being cut up and I had a photo with the head. When we went to the markets this time I was excited to look around and hopefully have some great food. We did find some amazing strawberries that were both red and pink. Some cost upwards of $100! Our tray was only $10- a bargain in Japan! We had 3 red and 2 pink ones. We didn't have any sashimi because it was a ridiculous price but we did have a piece of wagyu that was cooked to perfection. It was very good.
    We also found some cool pottery shops that we looked in for ages. We got some things here and I enjoyed looking in here. I like pottery in Japan.
    The next day was a bit different and we started our day off with a traditional temple called Meiji Shrine that also had an ice sculpture competition out th front. It was a nice surprise to see them, and there was probably about 50 big sculptures.
    We walked to Harajuku which is a vibrant street and Fern's dream shopping. Nothing for me except a huge fairy floss that was interesting to watch when they made it. Dad and I got out as fast as we could and made our way to snowboard shops. We are coming back at the end of this year so just wanted to see what was here.
    Overall a good couple of days in Tokyo.
