2009-03-21 Tsukiji Fish Market, Odaiba, Sensouji Temple 

This time we double-confirmed that the market was open before making the trip down. heh heh. Lots of live and frozen seafood, and uber long queues for the freshest sushi in town! We then headed for a short roam to Odaiba where we found the mini statue of liberty and got a good view of the rainbow bridge. Last stop for the day was Sensouji temple and its night market!
