A basic map of Tsukiji Market:

Visiting the tuna auction

- The number of visitors to the tuna auction is limited to 120 per day, the maximum
number which the market's infrastructure can accommodate.
- Tourists, who wish to see the auction, have to apply at the Osakana Fukyu Center (Fish
Information Center) at the Kachidoki Gate, starting from 5:00am (or earlier on busy days)
on a first-come, first-serve basis. A first group of 60 visitors will be admitted to the
auction between 5:25 and 5:50, while a second group of 60 visitors will be admitted
between 5:50 and 6:15.
- Visitors usually start lining up hours before 5am, and the maximum number is likely to be
exceeded, in which case later arriving visitors will not be able to see the auction.
- Successful applicants will be able to view the auction from a designated visitor area. It is
not allowed to view the auction from anywhere else or to use flash photography or to
interfere with the business action in any other way.

Lim Family_2016
Visiting the wholesale area
- The wholesale area consists of hundreds of small stands in a large, crowded hall, where
buyers and sellers hurry along narrow lanes with their carts and trucks.
- It is an exciting area for tourists to view and photograph the fish and the action, but it is
also an area where tourists are likely to interfere with the professionals at work.
- Consequently, in order to prevent accidents and interference with business, tourists are
not allowed into the wholesale area before 10am, when the peak of the business
activities take place.
- Even when visiting after 10am, tourists are asked to refrain from bringing any luggage
into the market and to be constantly alert of what is happening around them to avoid
blocking traffic.

Lim Family_2016
Visiting other areas of the market

Some special restaurants of Tsukiji are worth visiting, too.

- Along “Tsukiji Monzeki Dori” street, there are a lot of small restaurants such as Soba
stall, Ramen noodles stall, a stall of Motsu Nikomi(guts boiled with soy sauce), Seafood
bowl stall, Sushi stall etc.

Hedgehog Cafe -> Shibuya Station Via Ebisu Line -> Roppongi Station

Opened in early 2016 and situated in Roppongi, HARRY Hedgehog Cafe is the newest addition
to the animal cafes scene in Japan. The charming little cafe is home to a number of hedgehogs.
Sip tea while cozying up to these tiny creatures; you can even feed them!
HARRY is a play on ‘harinezumi‘, the Japanese word for hedgehog. The cafe is housed in a
building together with another bunny cafe located on the third floor.
Pick the one(s) you like and the staff will bring them out of the enclosures and into boxes or
baskets for you to pet.
Because hedgehogs are naturally jittery animals, it is advised that you gently scoop them out of
the boxes or baskets with steady hands, and be sure to not make any sudden jerky movements
lest you give the animals a shock.
The cafe is often populated, so making a reservation for weekends and public holidays is
advised. Entry into the cafe is also chargeable, starting from ¥1,000 (S$13.17) per person for
every 30 minutes on weekdays, and ¥1,300 (S$17.13) on weekends.

Day 7 (28 November 2016): Monday - Odaiba

Get There and Around

Access to Odaiba can be an attraction in itself, as the views of the Rainbow Bridge and
Tokyo's harbor and waterfront area from the Yurikamome elevated train and boats are
quite spectacular. Furthermore, it is also possible to walk across the Rainbow Bridge.

By Yurikamome
The Yurikamome is an automated, elevated train with rubber tires, which connects Shimbashi
Station on the Yamanote Line with all of Odaiba attractions and Toyosu Station on the
Yurakucho Subway Line. Trains depart every few minutes, and a ride between Shimbashi and
Daiba Station takes 15 minutes and costs 320 yen. If you ride the Yurikamome more than twice,
a 1-day pass for 820 yen is likely to pay off.
The Yurikamome is not covered by the Japan Rail Pass.
The Yurikamome crosses the Rainbow Bridge to get to Odaiba and offers spectacular views of
the harbor and the Tokyo waterfront. Sit or stand at the very front of the train for the most
impressive views.

By Rinkai Line

Lim Family_2016
The Rinkai Line connects Osaki Station on the JR Yamanote Line with Shin-Kiba Station on the
JR Keiyo Line, stopping at the Tokyo Teleport and Kokusai Tenjijo underground stations on
Odaiba along the way. Some trains on the JR Saikyo Line continue to run on the Rinkai Line
and provide direct connections between Shinjuku, Shibuya and Odaiba.
The ride from Shinjuku to Tokyo Teleport Station on Odaiba takes 25 minutes and costs 500
yen. Note that the Japan Rail Pass, Seishun 18 Kippu and similar JR tickets are not valid on the
Rinkai Line between Osaki and Shin-Kiba, even though the line is served by JR trains.

By boat
Tokyo Water Bus operates boats between Odaiba Seaside Park and Hinode Pier (20 minutes,
480 yen, 1-2 boats per hour), where there are connections to Asakusa. Direct boats connect
Asakusa and Odaiba less frequently (50 minutes, 1560 yen). Furthermore, there are boats from
Hinode Pier to Palette Town and Tokyo Big Sight (25-35 minutes, 410 yen, one boat per hour
except Mondays and Tuesdays).
