We ended our travels in Tokyo, the capitol of Japan. I would have loved to spend more time, there is so much to see and so little time. We did however get to see a lot of the city.
One of the districts which I would love to have spent a couple of days just walking through is the Harajuku District . You might recognize the fashions known for this district from Gwen Stefani's Harajuku girls.

We also visited the Fish Market, which was a place that I was glad I went to go see but I don't think that I would want to go back. First you have to get there early in the morning to see all of the action, 4 am early which was hard! You are up close and personal with all of the vendors who are selling the freshest fish you have ever seen to local restaurant owners.
They fly through the fish market on these little karts delivering the goods to trucks, you have to watch your step or they will run you over!
Auctioning off the big catches of the day...
and the goods for sale...
Overall traveling throughout Asia was an amazing experience, including delicious cuisine, we did however need to get a Mexican fix in Tokyo!
Harajuku District as i saw in photos, is only a walking place as it is beautiful. There should be no use of car or something else for spreading pollution.
