and you thought fish were fun!
but not so for these guys, as the end of an era draws near,
last weekend will forever be known as The Great
Fish Market Migration of 2018, at least that’s what some are calling it,
on the afternoon of October 6, 2018, Tokyo's Tsukiji Fish Market, held its final tuna auction and
the market was shuttered,
a
total of 2600 motorized carts and forklifts had to be driven to the new
market, so at 5 am on October 7, before the sun rose, police closed off public
roads and the carts and forklifts set off on their great migration, traveling at a breakneck
speed of just under 10 mph. relocating all their supplies and equipment 2.3 km
(1.4 mi) away, before the new market opens for business on October 11,
bad news for many sushi lovers as many sushi shops have
closed whilst the supply chain is re-established, but good news for the sushi
chefs, they have a holiday! all photos by Mizuho Miyazaki, courtesy Sankei
