We had about 12 hours in Tokyo to eat as much sushi as possible. We took a bus from the airport to the city center for about $10. It took a little over an hour with morning rush hour. Our first stop was the Tsukiji Market. It used to be an old fish market, but now it is more or less an outdoor marketplace that serves up fish, sushi, snacks, etc.
We just kept walking and eating…
We had lunch at Tsukiji Sushiko (located in the middle of the marketplace). The fish was of course very fresh and one thing to note, they put the wasabi inside the roll.
We walked over to the Shibuya crossing, the busiest pedestrian crossing in the world.
Next stop, Cat Street. You will not find any actual cats here, it is just a trendy area filled with hipster shops and cafes.
We opted for the train back to the airpot since we were cutting it close to our flight time. Of course our ride wouldn’t be complete without bread.
Takeaways
Amazing sushi
