Just fresh back from a week in Tokyo. With it being my second time, I have almost become and expert with the mind boggling subway network. The trick being to take each coloured line at a time and not together as a whole subway map.
Though I was in Tokyo for a week I had effectively only 1.5 days of available time to do the touristy stuff. Initially the plan was to take a day trip to Mt. Fuji but due to limited time I decided to visit old haunts with the Tsukiji Fish Market being my first time. Who knew that the day I decided to travel around Tokyo it was a public holiday and the actual fish market was not open. However I did get to try the mind boggling variety of fish at the outer market (where the eateries are found). My lesson, to find a sushi bar instead of a rice bowl. And do look for the tamago outlet, the best ever I have eaten, basically cooked eggs on a stick. It's not hard to find, as its the only store and a perpetual queue!
How to get to Tsukiji Market (outer market)
Take the Tokyo Metro to Tsukiji Station. Exit at 1 and turn left past the Tsukiji Hongwanji (Buddist temple) and walk straight down and past the traffic light and you will reach the Tsukiji Fish Market outer market (where all the food stores are found).
