People in Japan aren't happy about it. Yeah, you have to get there very early to see the auctions. I've done it a couple of times over the years, you either have to drive there very early, or stay in a cafe nearby, so you always get there feeling very tired. The early morning is more chaotic, little carts move around really quickly, it's kind of dangerous actually, the workers aren't really happy about the tourists hanging about and some don't like to slow down and accidents happen a fair bit...ouch.
