This is a great experience if you are brand new to Tokyo and looking for something unique to do. Process:
- Guide will meet you at a designated meet up spot (your hotel or at the fish market subway station) Either way, you need to get yourself there... Our guide met us at our hotel and we took a taxi together.
- The auction is viewed from a platform up above. You get a good view, but you are not on the ground.
- It seems pretty much anyone can enter and watch. You just need to ensure you are there by 5:30 AM as things get started and move fast.
All in all - that's it. If you know Tokyo, this would be easy to do without a guide.... It would save you a lot of money.
Our guide was also kind enough to point us to a great sushi place that opens very early in the morning.
