Three+ hours of being crammed in a room with dozens of other people like a can of sardines for 10 minutes of action. If you're not into photography or have no interest in tuna auctions, skip it and head down later in the morning for the sushi.

Also, there's certain sushi restaurants in Tsukiji Market that everyone loves going to, so there are lines. Honestly, all the restaurants there all good. Skip the line on the popular ones and go to any of the other ones. I had the most amazing salmon and tuna poke bowl (where the fish was caught literally a couple hours before) at a restaurant that had no line and zero people in it.
Let's be honest, any place there is lightyears ahead of what we have here in Calgary.
