Tokyo Metropole & Greater Kanto · Tokyo, Toyosu and Odaiba

teamLab Planets, Toyosu Market and Odaiba: the futuristic day

Morning at the new fish market, midday inside water and digital flowers at teamLab, and the afternoon on the artificial island: Gundam's official Gunpla store, Rainbow Bridge at sunset, and a night ride over the bridge.

The futuristic day of Tokyo, on the artificial islands in the bay. You start in the morning at the new Toyosu fish market, walk barefoot in the water at teamLab, and ride the Yurikamome, a train with no driver, to Odaiba: lunch and the Gundam store in the same mall, and the beach facing Rainbow Bridge at sunset. You finish with the night ride over the bridge to Shimbashi, and if you want, go on to an onsen in Toyosu. Most of the getting around is on the Yurikamome: Shimbashi to Shijo-mae in the morning ¥390, Shin-Toyosu to Daiba ¥330, and Odaiba-kaihinkoen to Shimbashi in the evening ¥330, together ¥1,050, so a Yurikamome day pass, ¥820, pays off. If you pay by tapping a credit card at the gate you do not need to buy it: the charge stops by itself at ¥820 a day.

Getting there: Start at Shijo-mae Station on the Yurikamome Line, next to Toyosu Market. The Yurikamome is an automated train with no driver, and it is worth grabbing the first car, for the view.

Toyosu Market and Senkyaku Banrai: the wholesalers' sushi
You start at the new wholesale market, from 2018. The tuna auction needs a lottery a month in advance, but the viewing deck is free. In the Senkyaku Banrai complex, an Edo-style street, you eat sushi bowls for breakfast. Pricier than Tsukiji, and less crowded.

Lunch break in Odaiba
The DiverCity mall, with the Gundam Base, the next stop, on its floor 7. Touristy but practical, and in the rain it is the answer. Eat in its food court, or walk 8 minutes to the Aqua City mall on the waterfront, to the ramen floor:

The Gundam Base Tokyo: the official Gunpla store
On floor 7 of the DiverCity mall is the official Gunpla complex: thousands of model kits from every generation, tables where you build on the spot, and displays, even for someone who knows nothing about Gundam. The Unicorn statue that stood in the plaza in front of the mall was removed at the end of August 2026 and not replaced, so there are no more evening transformation shows.

Break
A rest, at the hotel or on the beach
This day starts at 08:00 and ends around 20:00, and the evening still holds the beach at sunset and dinner. Odaiba is far from most of the places people stay, so only if you are staying in Odaiba itself do you go back to the hotel now for an hour and a half, on foot. If you are staying in Shimbashi or Shiodome, you need 15 minutes on the Yurikamome from Daiba to Shimbashi (¥330), plus the walk to and from the station, and that already eats most of the break. The other areas are farther. Until 22 April 2027 Miraikan is closed, so if you are not going back, walk slowly to the beach, about 10 minutes on foot from the Gundam Base, and sit on the sand or on the promenade facing Rainbow Bridge until sunset.
On to Miraikan
- Walk · 13 minAbout a kilometer south, along the green promenade in the middle of the island, to the museum near Telecom Center Station.

Miraikan: the science and robots museum
If you did not go back to the hotel, you come here, but only from 23 April 2027: Miraikan is closed for renovation from 1 October 2026 to 22 April 2027. It is the national science museum (¥630), with a globe hanging from the ceiling and interactive exhibits, excellent for children from age 6. While it is closed, spend longer at the beach.

TrainRecommended
Yurikamome back: the first car, Rainbow Bridge lit up
You finish with the night ride from Odaiba-kaihinkoen to Shimbashi, 13 minutes. Right after the station the automated train climbs to Rainbow Bridge, crosses it and makes a full loop, with Tokyo lit up all around. In the first car you sit in the seat of the driver who is not there, for the price of a regular ticket. From Shimbashi head back to the hotel on the JR lines, the Ginza Line or the Asakusa Line. If you want to finish in hot water, ride the Yurikamome the other way, to Shijo-mae, to Toyosu Manyo Club, 3 minutes on foot from the station: an onsen complex open 24 hours, with rooftop baths facing the bay, restaurants and a rest area. The water is trucked in from Hakone, and admission includes a yukata and towels. Tattoos: a cover sticker is required, and large tattoos are not accepted.
