Shopping

Tsukiji Fish Market / 築地市場 World biggest fish market. For tuna auction, entrance tickets will be started to give from 2AM until 3AM. However, all tickets will be gone by 2:15AM. Need to join a queue for it. Must bring big bags if you are going to stay for another few days and want to get something from there. Not only fish, but fresh veggies and fruits are sold too.

Sightseeing

Must visit! Interesting building. The palace was built about 600 years ago by Shogun then it has been taking over by Royal family. Since then it has been renovated and repaired however you can see how Shogun and samurai warriors lived here.

Tokyo Skytree / 東京スカイツリー Massive Tower, very well design. Better to get tickets online before visiting, otherwise you need to join a queue for ages to get tickets. Take HIBIYA line to HIGASHI GINZA, change train to TOEI ASAKUSA LINE to OSHIAGE - Recommended course - Visit Asakusa in the morning, walk down to Skytree which takes about 20 min over the Sumida River.

Yamshita Park / Minato Mirai / China town 横浜/ 山下公園 / みなとみらい/ 中華街 Take an advantage of staying by HIBIYA line! Hibiya Line actually connected to trains to Yokohama where is the next big city in the neighbor prefecture. Change train at Nakameguro if the train terminate at Nakameguro. But connecting trains departs from the next platform which is right opposite to the train where you get off. Get off the train at Minato Mirai or China Town. My recommendation is taking a boat from Minato Mirai (MM21) to Yamashita Park, enjoy having Chinese lunch in China town which is right behind Yamashita Park.

Entertainment & Activities

Tokyo Disneyland & Tokyo Disney Sea Take advantage to staying on the HIBIYA line because, local people avoid to change train at JR Tokyo station for Disneyland unless she/he comes from countryside. It is nightmare, you will almost give up going to Disneyland when you need to walk about 10-15min at Tokyo station to change trains.... Take HIBIYA line to JR HATCHOBORI station to change train to JR KEIYO Line to MAIHAMA station. As soon as you get off the station, there is a street which takes you to the dream land!
