"oyosu (豊洲) is a man-made island in Tokyo close to Odaiba. It was created in the 1930s and later enlarged. The famous Tsukiji Fish Market is expected to be relocated to Toyosu by around spring 2016."

Japan 2020 Olympic will be build on another human made island near to Odaiba. Soon all attractive placed all will shifted to Tokyo Bay

Omg. Why? Tsukiji is so accessible

Tokyo land is too value for wet market

Plus Tsukiji is too near to Ginza. Removed Tsukiji can expand Ginza

Yea JPY dropped. Time for a Japan trip

Bro Regent,

Will the Tobiwari60 fares will be available as well during Golden Week?

Tabiwari 60 are like AirAsia early booking only. 2 month before depature and get cheaper flight ticket.

Golden Holiday will be very peak. Seat will reseserve to top fare ticket first.



If you going Japan at Golden Holiday period. Take Night Bus. Forget about Train and Flight.

when the new tsukiji market operate?

dear all, would like some advice on the train from Haneda to Takaracho station.

my flight will be arriving at 10:30pm. assuming i manage to get out by 11:15pm, i should be able to catch one of the below three trains:


train departure 11:42pm
---------------------------------
haneda -> keikyu kamata (2 mins to transfer) -> sengakuji -> takaracho


train departure 11:31pm
---------------------------------
haneda -> shanagawa or aomono-yokocho (9 mins or 12 mins to transfer) -> sengakuji -> takaracho



i have 6 people in my group (:S)

- my worry is the train transfer, do we have to walk very far or something? i couldn't find any info on how to do the transfer.

- if we miss the train transfer, would we end up getting stranded in the station (since its the last train)?

- is there any possibility at all that we would be able to catch the trains in time?

thanks!

45 mins from plane off-board to train station.... very tight schedule. ... that's assume AAX is on-time.
The trains will be on-time for sure

2014 or 2016. Not finalize yet.

You need to know Haneda Airport very very well only enough time to catch the Train. Aim for Limousine Bus much safer.

oh.. it looked straightforward in their video. it shows turn right to the train station from the departure hall. looks near from the video

how about train transfer? do we have to move to different floors/walk around to switch?

thanks.

Airport line normally will direct reach shinagawa Station if you take Keikyu Line limited express.

Haneda Airport famous for it wind shear problem. Runway will closed , delay will be 20 minute or more.

Plus 10.30pm normally will have 1 flight from Singapore and Hawaii. Custom will be jam pack of people.


Still, I suggetion you make a backup plan. limoisine bus.

the limousine bus din reach chuo, shintomi district T-T think will take 2 taxis or book a van as backup plan

anyone use tokyo-taxi or tokyoairporter service before?

Tokyo Disney Sea Part 5 (Tower of Terror, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, Journey to the Center of the Earth)

Personally, Tower of Terror tops as one of the best rides in DisneySea. The queue for these 2 rides is quite long, even with Fast Pass. We had to queue for a good 30 minutes before entering the ride. The ride itself is actually really plain, but it was the whole setup, decorations, animations that made this ride surprising and thrilling.

On a side note, queuing times are displayed for each ride so you will know roughly how long you have to wait. Good for planning the sequence of the rides and usage of Fast Pass.




Crazy queue without the Fast Pass

After the exhilarating ride we proceeded to the next area and decide on our next ride. Without much contemplation we took the Fast Pass for the 20, 000 Leagues Under the Sea Ride, which we regretted. The ride was nothing to shout about and the Fast Pass could be used for other rides instead. Having said that, it's an experience to try out a simulated submarine ride.







Frozen mango! really nice!





Upon exiting the submarine we then joined the queue for the next ride in the vicinity - Journey to the Center of the Earth. This is also another amazing ride which holds lots of surprises at every bent. Really should have used to Fast Pass for this. Had to wait for almost 1 hour with an empty stomach. Nevertheless it was really worth it.

The old tsukiji fish market will still open? or shut down forever

Wil be demolish. Then build new shopping mall

thanks for your information. Just planned go to tsukiji wet market..now need to remove from itinerary. Any nice and fresh sushi place recommend?

I google around abit, i dont see any article mention specifically Tsukiji fish market will be closed this year. Some article says the move will be at 2016, does it means the auction will still be at the same place until they move? Im going there by April, hopefully that time havent close/move yet.
