Morning in One day in Tokyo
Morning in One day in Tokyo
Start off your day bright and early with a visit to the Tsukiji Fish Market. Tourists access to the tuna auction is limited (no auction on Sundays). If you just want to see the market in action it is much cheaper to just take the first train (underground) in the morning a little past 5AM to Oedo Line Tsukiji-seijo, or Hibiya Line Tsukiji, but this is a little further away. Be sure to eat a sushi breakfast at Sushidai or Daiwa Sushi for around �4,000. If you just want to eat, you can show up a little later, but beware: queues can be long on weekends.
- Tsukiji Honganji (築地本願寺), near the Hibiya line station, is a rather atypical Japanese temple built not from wood, but from heavy stone and concrete. The interior, full of wafting incense and resplendent with gold, is still worth a quick peek.
Hop on the Toei Oedo Line to Ryogoku and the Edo-Tokyo Museum (exit A3/A4), one of the best in Tokyo, which will give you an excellent grounding in the history of this city from the Edo era of samurais and geishas to modern-day postwar Tokyo. Admission �600, open from 9 AM, closed Mondays.
- Right next door to the museum is the Kokugikan, Japan's most famous sumo wrestling arena, where tournaments are held three times yearly. A visit to one of the sumo stables nearby can be interesting, but must be arranged well in advance.
