TOKYO BAY

Toyosu

Odaiba

HUGELY POPULAR FOR its Wholesale Fish Market (a visit here is a highlight of any Tokyo trip) the Tokyo Bay area offers endless insights into the city’s culinary and cultural traditions.

TOYOSU

Toyosu is a vibrant area of reclaimed land in Tokyo Bay, constructed in 1937.

WHAT TO SEE & DO In 2018, this part of Tokyo became home to the Tokyo Wholesale Fish Market, which was relocated from the more central site of Tsukiji. Arrive early to witness the famous tuna auctions, then visit one of the many restaurants for an oceanfresh sashimi breakfast. The rooftop deck offers sweeping views over Toyosu’s shopping malls; you may also glimpse KidZania theme park, where children can learn about society in a fun setting.

TRAVEL TIPS

• Visitors to the Fish Market can watch auctions from designated areas.

ODAIBA

Located in Tokyo Bay, Odaiba was originally a series of manmade fort islands built in the 1800s to protect Tokyo from possible attacks. Today, it’s a popular shopping and entertainment precinct, and a great place to spend the day mingling with locals.

WHAT TO SEE & DO The best way to reach Odaiba is also an attraction in its own right. The Rainbow Bridge spans 798 metres from the mainland to the island, with the structure cast aglow every evening using solar energy harnessed during the day. When you arrive,

visit the National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation (Miraikan), a gallery dedicated to real-life scientific research across a range of fields. Stop past the teamLab Borderless interactive art installation (it’s only here til August 2022, with a new incarnation in 2023), and soak in Tokyo’s largest hot spring theme park, OedoOnsen Monogatari.

TRAVEL TIPS

• Odaiba can be reached by the

Yurikamome line, crossing the Rainbow Bridge, or by

Tokyo Water Bus ferry.

• With many theme parks, museums, architectural wonders and attractions to choose from, it’s a good idea to plan your day in advance to get the most out of it.

• Some area attractions can be booked in advance online to save the disappointment of missing out on, or having to queue for, tickets. In fact, teamLab Borderless tickets are only sold online, and must be booked before you visit.

• Enjoy theme parks like Tokyo

Joypolis, and the Legoland

Discovery Centre.
