Accroding to the News, Tsukiji Fish Market is now closed for tourists.
It's so pity news.
Normally they open for everybody, becuase it is one way to show Japanese food culture, but recently the Market is much popular among the tourists from overseas.
Maybe too much.
Because some of them behave very badly there. I just watched one TV program about this issue. Some guys came there after drinking all the night, they touched and kissed Tuna for the picture. Other guys didn't listen any notice, they took the vehicle for the fish. Some peeple tried to enter the restrected area.... Seems terrible, although I guess the most of people has no problem.
Anyway from now on for new years season it gonna be most busy season threre. Nowdays too many tourists is one of the obstacle in the market. So Tokyo Metropolitan Government decided to prohibit tourists from entering to the one part of the Market from 12/15/2008-1/17/2009. After 1/18/2009, they havn't decided yet.
Well, before in this blog I wrote about Tsukiji Market sometimes, and this problem was that I worried. I love Sushi so much, and I just feel sorry for the people who would like to visit it at this period.

Well ,that's too bad for the tourists, but I agree that the people working there should be able to do their job.
I hope you have a nice end of year , Kazumi.

Too bad!
Tsukuji is one of the places that tourists usually go to -- but I also hope that tourists behave properly.
How was your Christmas and New Year? I hope it was fun... I wish you all the best for the new year!
