The hostel where I stayed that night was supposed to be Khaosan Tokyo Annex in Asakusa. Unfortunately, I was moved from the hostel to the next hostel "Smile". At the reception of Annex, I was told that my room was upgraded from 10 bed dormitory of Annex to 4 bed one of Smile. As soon as I got in Smile, I was confused. The lounge of Annex was great with a lot of computers for the Internet, some sofas, and a large TV set. On the other hand, Smile had only a small table and 2 computers. The bed charge was affordable, but I would never stay the hostel again.

On the next day, very early in the morning, I left the hostel, heading for Tsukiji. I took a metro at 5 and arrived at Tsukiji fish market in half an hour. It may sound strange to visit a fish market as a tourist. In fact, however, it is the most tourist spot of Japan, according to Trip Advisor.com. The main purpose of them is to watch the tuna auction. Retailers take part in the bidding for tuna and tourists take pictures of them. I also enjoyed taking pictures of "excited tourists." The tuna was very large and some of them were over 100kg and extremely pricey. The most expensive tuna on record was 9.6 million JPY in 2009. After the fish market, I visited Tsukiji Honganji Temple nearby. The appearance of the temple was unique and different from other Japanese temples, because the architectual style is from old India Ghibli Museum

. The inside looked like a hall of churches. Then, I had a tuna bowl for the second breakfast, but it didn't taste special.

The focal point of this film is not the fish market as a tourist attraction, but the problem of an endangered species.
