Mid-range · 6-hour walk · Tokyo
Toyosu and Odaiba in six hours
Wading through teamLab's digital art, the new fish market, Odaiba's beach, a life-size Gundam and the walk across the Rainbow Bridge.
The islands of Toyosu and Odaiba were built on landfill in Tokyo Bay, and they are where the city puts what it has no room for elsewhere: the fish market, exhibition halls, malls and museums. They are joined by the Yurikamome, a driverless train that loops over the water, which this route rides between stops. Book teamLab Planets for the first slot of the day.
The route, stop by stop

Toyosu Market
Tokyo's wholesale fish market since 2018. The tuna auction is watched from a gallery before dawn; by late morning the draw is the sushi counters inside.
