挖掘东京历史最悠久，最吸人眼球的庭院，汐留的巨大清晰的庭园为了我们提供了一个鲜明的对比。在江户时代(1602-1867)，当时浜離宮恩赐庭园曾经是古代日本天皇的居住地。而现在，作为一个高人气的景点，无论是游客还是本地居民，访客络绎不绝。
Temporary hours from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
东京一直以来都以新旧建筑物的鲜明对比而闻名，而汐留的高楼更加强化了那种对比。汐留的庭院大致分为2部分，南部庭院曾经是古代天皇的花园，北部庭院在明治时代之后修建完工。
北部庭院的古典梅花，300年历史的古乔树都很值得观赏。南部庭院内有潮入之池和两处猎鸭场都是非常有代表性，除此之外，外部休息处可以眺望美丽的远景。
值得特别一提的事，滨离宫恩赐庭园的潮入之池将海水导入庭园中的水池，利用潮汐的涨落使得水池产生不同的情趣。这些镜子状的池的水面随着东京湾的潮汐而变动。然后这其实是当年江户时期修建这个庭院的人们不小心制造的偶然，以至于这个水池可根据四季的变化带来不同的贡献。

Toyosu Market is a wholesale market in Tokyo located in the Koto District. It was built on man-made land in Tokyo Bay and replaces the historic Tsukiji Fish Market, which was previously the capital's famous fish market. Opened October 2018 and is the largest seafood market in the world. The market in turn consists of two separate fish markets, one for auctions and the other for general sale, plus a fruit and vegetable market. There are also restaurants and a variety of options for visitors. Tourists can watch the market from a viewing platform on the second floor and take part in guided auctions and events. However, it is no longer possible, as was previously the case in Tsukiji, for visitors to be directly at the famous tuna events, a platform was built for this, from which one can see into the interior of the market. The modern building complex also offers a roof terrace and a shrine and is easily accessible by bus and train.

Encounter all types of fresh foods and traditional Japanese foods in Tsukiji’s Outer Market. The market combines wholesale and retail shops into charm that lines the streets of the area and offers a unique perspective on Japan and even some original Japanese dishes. The Tsukiji Market was once a wholesale market for professionals and a place that tourists frequently visited. Particularly famous was the morning fish market where freshly caught fish would be cut and sold in large open areas of the market. Nowadays, the wholesale fish market has since moved to Toyosu (about 2 km away) back in 2018. However, this doesn’t mean that the Outer Tsukiji Market isn’t worth visiting. Colorful slices of fresh-sliced sashimi, dried seaweed, fruits, vegetables, single-servings of food, and kitchen utensils; you can find all this and more at the Outer Market in Tsukiji. In fact, many of the shops in the Outer Market simply bring their wares from Toyosu. In the Outer Market, there are buildings that are more than 80 years old. Many owners still use the first floor for their shops and live on the upper floors above street level creating an intricate maze of homes and shops. But even with this layout, Tsukiji Outer Market is a fascinating place to visit and shop. Especially for sushi and sashimi aficionados. The birth of the fish market as its known today began in 1657 when Edo was devastated by a great fire. Land was reclaimed from Tokyo Bay and named Tsukiji (築地), which means "constructed land". What was once a quiet living quarters for samurai families and shrines—one of which still sits at the back corner of the Tsukiji Market, "Namiyoke" offering protection from waves—became a hustling center of prosperous markets after the 1923 Great Kanto Earthquake. Even though half of the fish market has moved to Toyosu, the Outer Market remains a fascinating experience where tourists can rub elbows with locals and get a sense of where the fresh seafood of Tokyo comes from. The market typically opens for business at 9 am and goes on until 3 pm. This early closing time means that you want to get there early for the freshest foods before they sell out or are closed for the day. Tokyo's wholesale fish market moved to Toyosu in October 2018. Note that many shops are closed on Sundays and some Wednesdays.
When you think of Japanese theater, you also think of kabuki: demonic-looking masks, elegant kimonos and drums. Often stories are told of old warriors or longing lovers. The beautiful hand-made costumes, the enchanting stage design and the musical background make a journey unforgettable in Kabuki-za. The Kabuki-za in Ginza is Tokyo's premier kabuki theater. The theater was originally built in 1889 by a Meiji-era journalist Fukuchi Gen'ichiro. Fukuchi wrote kabuki plays and kyogen, another form of traditional Japanese theater, for Ichikawa Danjuro IX and others in which he starred. However, after Danjuro IX's death, Fukuchi retired from the theater. Destroyed by several disasters, the building was rebuilt a total of 4 times. If a whole Kabuki piece is too long (a piece can take over 4 hours) or too expensive, there is also the option of purchasing tickets for individual acts. For certain pieces, you can also purchase a G-marc guide on site, which translates what is spoken into English so that you can better understand what is happening on stage.
