Restricted Access: Tsukiji Wholsale

On our trip to Tsukiji, we played the role of the ignorant tourist as we walked through the wholesale area of Tsukiji in the morning. The new rules discourage touring the wholesale or middle market. We were the speed bump of the workers, albeit polite and conscientious speed bumps. The shop owners did not seem to complain as 9 of us huddled around this tuna stall. No complaints or dirty looks from them.
