Tsujiki fish market + Imperial Palace + Meiji Jingu Shrine + Shibuya

We woke up at 6:00AM today. The wife suggested we check out Tsujiki fish market. Check out her blog for better SLR pics. If you want to see fisherman selling their fish, you have to go early. Last time, in 2006, we didn't get there until 10am, and it was too late. We arrived at 8:00am this time, and took many photos:We went to Imperial Palace after our "lunch" at 9:30am:

As well, the Meiji Jingu Shrine at Harujuku:


At Ginza, we saw this Nikon store that had as many cameras/lens one could wish for:
We went to the Sony building right at opening (11am), but they didn't allow cameras, so I have no photos to show the amazing new electronics there. It was 7 floors of just sony electronics! We saw a $40000 70 inch lcd screen (Mary, buy that one for Mike!), lavender, pink, and light blue PSPS, white and grey ps3s, and a bunch of new sony mp3 walkmans.

In the afternoon, we checked out Harujuku, saw these sweet hats:

At night, we went to Shibuya. We saw tons of people, mostly young hip Japanese. We couldn't figure out where they were going, because the stores were closed! I think it's just a cool place to hang out. We took out our new tripod to the test. Here are a couple pics we took with slow shutter speed:

Tomorrow, YOKOHAMA!
