From barefoot water rooms to Ginza

A day in Tokyo — 5 stops, about 5.03 km on foot, 72 minutes walking.

A day that starts inside a dark, wet digital artwork and ends among Ginza's department stores, with market stalls and a sushi counter in between. Roughly 4.2 km of walking, mostly flat and split into short stretches. Suits anyone who wants one big sensory experience early and a slower, indoor-leaning afternoon.

The route, in order

  1. teamLab Planets TOKYO DMM

    Opens 08:00

    Booked slots go early and the water rooms feel calmer before the crowds thicken, so this is the one stop worth doing first.

  2. 39 min walk — Head southwest on 都道484号

    Fish Market Tsukiji Outer Market

    A transit leg brings you from Toyosu back toward Tsukiji, where the stalls are still busy and grazing on a few small things keeps room for lunch.

  3. 17 min walk — Head northwest on 波除通り toward 新大橋通り/都道50号 Pass by Tsukiji Yamacho (on the right in 41m)

    Ginza Kyūbey Ginza Honten

    Opens 11:30

    A short walk from the market's edge into Ginza, timed so you arrive as the counter opens rather than waiting out a queue.

  4. 12 min walk — Head northeast on 金春通り toward 花椿通り

    Kabuki-za

    Opens 10:00

    Ten minutes from lunch and a useful contrast: the theater's exterior and the building around it reward a look even if you aren't seeing a performance.

  5. 4 min walk — Head northwest on 晴海通り/都道304号 toward 都道316号 Pass by Miharabashi Area Safety Center (on the right in 130m)

    Ginza

    End where you already are, wandering the department stores and side streets as the afternoon light goes and the shopfronts start to matter more.
