Cheap Tickets to Tokyo - Tsukiji Fish Market Bans Tourists

If you're traveling to Tokyo you will have to avoid the early morning tuna fish auction after complaints from traders their presence was hampering business. The Metropolitan Government has banned tourists for a month. The city's fish market is the biggest in the world, handling 2,000 tons of seafood every day. The global boom in sushi has turned Tsukiji fish market into one of the Japan's most popular tourist attractions.

Every morning, before dawn, hundreds of tuna are laid out to be auctioned. Some change hands for more than $100,000.
