Of all the days in the year to visit, you end up there on one of the few holidays. The Tsukiji Fish Market, you have heard it described as the busiest fish market in Asia. You rise extra early, to make the trip before your breakfast meeting. It is early morning, and it should be bustling. Instead, there are no fish, no fisherman, no wholesalers, no auctions, no ice. It is quiet and dark. Even the lights are off. You roam freely, wondering what it must be like when it is full swing. Wondering how much you missed.
Then you start to the see the other side. You have been able to see it on the day it sleeps. To feel its quiet. To experience it in a way different from most. And you do not mind after all. (See the complete picture.)
