The face of food
A very unique, and free thing to do in Tokyo is go to the Tsukiji Fish Market. This is Japan's biggest fish market, and supplies a large portion of the nation with more edible sea life than you could find at Marine World. You have to arrive around 6AM if you want a chance to see the auctions, which is not too hard considering the sun rises here in the four o'clock hour.

Eating at a sashimi-only restaurant at 6:30AM
As Ryan points out, there are many delicious, fresh breakfast options to choose from in Tsukiji. None of the meat sold here is cooked, and there was no room for Sami to sit without ordering anything, so she sat outside the restaurant, feet wet with fish guts (her and Ryan wore sandals HAHA), until we finished our world class meals. I had the crab, it was incredible! And as for Sami, she had an Egg-McMuffin as Ryan and I endulged in McDonald's all you can drink coffee a little later.
