• Toyosu Market - Toyosu Market (豊洲市場, Toyosu Shijō) commenced operations on October 11, 2018, on the artificial island of Toyosu in Tokyo Bay. It succeeded the aging Tsukiji Market in the wholesale business and offers tourists a chance to witness market activities and enjoy dining at its expansive, modern facilities.

The vast wholesale market comprises three main buildings: two dedicated to seafood and one to fruits and vegetables. All buildings are interconnected and linked to Shijo-mae Station via walkways.

Tours are available from 8 AM onwards. For those interested in the Tuna auction, the Toyosu Market Morning Tuna Auction and Tsukiji Food Tour can be booked at 5 AM.

• Tsukiji Fish Market - Meet your guide at Tsukiji Honganji Temple, just outside the market’s main gate, in the morning. As you explore this maze of seafood wonders, your guide will share insights about the market’s history and why many of Japan’s top chefs visit daily for the freshest ingredients. You never know what you might discover as you wander past the stalls of this incredible food hub. You might see boxes of neatly stacked sea urchin (uni), watch vendors carve massive Bluefin tuna, or spot puffer fish swimming in tanks.
• Ameyoko Shopping Street - A popular activity for visitors to Japan is embarking on a souvenir shopping spree, gathering as many fantastic goods and deals as possible. In Ginza, shoppers seek high-end and trendy fashion in its numerous department stores and upscale duty-free shops, while Shinjuku is renowned for its plethora of large electronics retailers – Tokyo offers many shopping spree hotspots.
• Senso-ji Temple - Sensoji Temple is one of Japan’s most renowned temples, boasting a 1,300-year history. It is also famous for its entrance gate, Kaminarimon, distinguished by its large red lantern.

Sensoji itself is not the only reason to visit the area. Beyond Kaminarimon lies Nakamise Dori, Japan’s oldest shopping street, leading to the temple’s main hall. On Nakamise Dori, you can purchase traditional Japanese crafts and enjoy delicious snacks like fried mochi (glutinous rice cakes).

• Nakamise Shopping Street (Kaminarimon) - Nakamise is Asakusa’s most famous shopping street. It stretches 250 meters along the main approach to Sensoji Temple, lined on both sides with shops offering traditional souvenirs, snacks, and sweets.
  This street is actually on temple grounds, beginning and ending with a temple gate: the southern end features the outer gate of Kaminarimon, and the northern end has the inner gate of Hozomon. Between these gates are 89 shops, with 54 on the east side and 35 on the west. “Nakamise” is a traditional name for shopping streets on temple or shrine grounds, making this one of the oldest and most famous in Japan.
• Kappabashi Street (Kappabashi Dogugai) - Kappabashi Street (かっぱ橋道具街, Kappabashi Dōgugai) is a shopping street between Ueno and Asakusa, lined with numerous stores selling everything a restaurant operator might need, except fresh food.

You’ll find specialized stores for dishes, pots, pans, cooking utensils, stoves, tables, chairs, signs, lanterns, and more. Some stores even sell plastic and wax food samples, commonly used by restaurants in their display windows.

• Tsukishima Monjya Street - Monjayaki is a liquid-y, hot dish that may not be visually appealing, but its taste more than compensates. A thin batter made with flour and dashi (Japanese stock) forms the base, and with a variety of toppings, there’s something for everyone. If you haven’t tried it yet, there’s only one place to go in Tokyo, aptly named Monja Street.
• Yanaka Ginza Shopping Street - One of Tokyo’s best shopping streets, Yanaka Ginza offers a well-preserved “Shitamachi” old-town atmosphere. Discover the nostalgic side of Tokyo through Yanaka Ginza Shopping Street!
  Yanaka (谷中) is a tranquil neighborhood in Taito ward, east Tokyo. Known as an old-town district (Shitamachi in Japanese), it retains a nostalgic and rustic charm. Yanaka is easily accessible from Ueno and is within walking distance of Ueno Park.
