Shiodome
Shiodome district has undergone large-scale redevelopment in recent years to become a fashionable spot lined with commercial office buildings. The area is home to a cluster of tourist spots, including the much talked-about largest multiplex facility in the metropolis where clothes, food and residential accommodation are brought together under one roof.
Hamarikyu Garden
A foremost example of a daimyo’s garden from the Edo period (1603–1867), this has been designated as a national place of special scenic beauty and a national historic site. With its pond containing seawater supplied from Tokyo Bay, the largest Japanese black pine in the city, the seasonal flowers and other features, it is truly a world apart within the large urban area of Tokyo.
Tsukiji Outer Market
A lively market packed with around 330 fresh fish retailers and greengrocers, eateries and other stalls. Large numbers of shoppers and tourists flock to the market in search of inexpensive fresh foodstuffs. Next door is Tsukiji Market, the wholesale fish market known as “Tokyo’s kitchen.”
Edo-Tokyo Museum
A museum that explains the history and cultural life of Edo and Tokyo from the beginning of the Edo period (1603–1867) to the Tokyo Olympics. Approximately 2,500 items are displayed, including ukiyo-e woodblock prints and kimonos, as well as antique maps and models. The museum also runs a variety of hands-on learning sessions.
