A Fish Market and a Ferry Ride

Today I decided to be a little adventurous and head over to the Tsukiji Fish Market. Didn't end up actually spending a whole lot of time there, but I managed to find a few other things of interest:

• Top left: a menu for one of the MANY fish/sushi/sashimi restaurants surrounding the Tsukiji market. It all looks identical to me.
• Top right: after you buy your fresh fish, you can cross the street and buy the knife to cut it with.
• Middle left: after the market, I went to the nearby Hama Rikyu Garden.
• Middle right: a view of the tea house in the garden. The ponds in the garden are all filled by the adjoining bay, so their level always changes according to the tide.
• Bottom left: after the garden, I took the Sumida River Ferry tour to Asakusa. Take a close look at the spelling they used on the sign.
