Japan Day 8 (Tsukiji Fish Market)

We start the morning with a trip to Tsukiji fish market. We didn’t actually visit the fish market, but the market, since it looked more interesting and more touristy. We had our breakfast in one of the noodle shop in the market. It taste good, then we circle around the market before heading back to Maihama st again since Hui want to checked the Disney Sea shop. It turn out that Disney sea is another train ride away, so she decided to look around the Disney land shop instead.
We had organised a free tour guide the day before and we head to Harajuko st. And had a quick lunch in one of the western style Japanese restaurant underground. I had a steak kinda thing & Hui had teriyaki steak, it comes with rice as well, which makes it very filling.


The volunteer guide was very informative. He explained to us that the Meijiku shrine is dedicated to the emperor. The trees surrounding the shrine was planted when the shrine was built. Outside the enterance the stack of casket is offering to the shrine from the famous sake producers. At the opposite of the sake casket is rows of the French wine barrels offered by French wine maker.
The were a few wedding couples in the shrine because that day is a good day to have wedding.
The guide also explained to us the water outside the shrine is used to clean our hand, and to rinse our mouth before entering the shrine. The way to make a wish is to offer
