Tsukiji Fish Market, one of the world largest market has been known as the kitchen of Tokyo over 70 years. The huge area covering the inner market and outer market are full of excitement and amazement, but how can you stroll around this labyrinth? I'll give you some tips on how to explore this world renown market without missing any of its unique marvels. After Tsukiji, a short 15 min. walk will take you to Tokyo's most attractive landscape gardens, which originated during the famed Edo period. Hama-rikyu Gardens once used to be the family garden of the Tokugawa shogun and later became the property of the Imperial family. The contrast between beautiful traditional gardens with skyscrapers in the background is spectacular.
