1. Tokyo Fish Market At dawn, many tourists in Japan's capital end a great night of entertainment in bars and clubs with a visit to the largest fish market in the world.

Restaurant owners immediately receive their large chunks of sushi raw material and bystanders occasioanally get to taste the exceptional quality and freshness on the spot.
