Mighty-Cars at Tsukiji Fish Market Tokyo




These loud 3 wheel carts haul ass all all over Tsukiji Fish market carrying frozen and fresh fish and oother supplies on their 2X4 foot rear platform. There must be more than a thousand. Someare shiny and new and are painted pink and bright yellow while others are rusted mangled with parts hanging off as they chug along so noisily it appears as if they will fall apart the next minute.

The skill these drivers demonstrate while navigating at high speed around the tiny alleyways and hordes of people will astound you. I was there for hours and i didnt see one accident or scrape, but it is a bit scary. I was glad I had purchased trip insurance.
