A fine example of Japanese planning and ingenuity, Odaiba is an artificial island located on the Tokyo Bay. The name 'Odaiba' finds its origins in the network of six artificial islands which were built in 1853 by Egawa Hidetatsu to protect the city of Edo, former name of Tokyo, from the American Commodore Matthew Perry, whose fleet of Black Ships posed an imminent threat. In modern times, this island has become a major attraction for leisure and entertainment, withstanding the economic collapse of Japan and other adversities. Today, Odaiba is home to a range of shopping, dining, and entertainment destinations, also being home to a replica of the Statue of Liberty, which sits gloriously against the backdrop of the Rainbow Bridge.

Mercato ittico di Tsukiji

Lo storico mercato del pesce di Tsukiji apre per la prima volta nel 1935 e grazie alla sua enorme popolarità si è espanso anche all’esterno. Conosciuto come il “mercato esterno” di Tsukiji, questo brulicante mercato vende una varietà di articoli inclusi prodotti freschi, pesce, utensili e cibi pronti. Il mercato è nato dall'esigenza di soddisfare i clienti non grossisti, ai quali inizialmente era precluso l'accesso all'area in quanto esclusivamente commerciale. Anche se lo storico mercato interno ha chiuso i battenti, si può ancora respirare la particolare atmosfera dello shopping nell'Outer Market.

Akihabara

Con Akihabara ci si riferisce al lato orientale della sezione Chiyoda di Tokyo. Un centro vivace e alla moda, a volte chiamato "Electric Town" per l'alta concentrazione di negozi che vendono tutto ciò che è elettronico. Qui troverete le ultime novità in fatto di videogiochi, gadget, e macchine fotografiche presso Yodobashi Akiba, uno dei negozi principali a più piani, oppure visitate il Tokyo Animation Center, dove potrete assistere a proiezioni e dimostrazioni di videogiochi e anime. Qui quasi tutti i negozi vendono prodotti elettronici, quindi le scelte per gli appassionati di tecnologia sono illimitate. Akihabara è conosciuta soprattutto per la sua associazione con la cultura otaku, un termine per descrivere i fanatici di anime e i manga. Per questo non sorprende che ogni tipo di immagine relativo alla cultura otaku sia esposta in numerose attività commerciali, edifici e persino marciapiedi della zona.

Toyosu Market

Established as a replacement for the Tsukiji Fish Market, the bustling Toyosu Market combines the old-school charm of its predecessor with a contemporary flair that is characteristic of Japan's capital. Overlooking the pristine waters of Tokyo Bay, this expansive market was first inaugurated in 2018 and since then, it has served as the go-to destination for delectable seafood and traditional specialties for locals and tourists alike. Sprawled over an area of 408,000 square meters ((4,391,675 square feet), the complex comprises a variety of stalls and shops purveying a wide range of food items, vegetables and fruits, as well as souvenirs and other enticing goods. The market's second floor features a viewing deck that enables visitors to survey all the activity unfolding below, while a rooftop offers an opportunity to soak in the city's stunning landscape. Those wishing to sample some tasteful local dishes can head to one of the many restaurants that form a part of the market.

Landmark Tower

Landmark Tower is located in the ultra modern Minato Mirai 21 development on Yokohama's waterfront. It is Yokohama's showcase community of sleek high-rise buildings, ultramodern shopping malls, museums, hotels, convention centers, office buildings, and homes. There's even an amusement park with a huge Ferris Wheel that's perfect for sightseeing. As Japan's tallest skyscraper, Landmark Tower is the centerpiece for Minato Mirai 21 and is home to the Yokahama Royal Park Hotel Nikko, the Sky Garden Observatory, Landmark Mall with 190 shops and boutiques, a medical clinic, 48 floors of office space, a 230-meter moving walkway that connects Landmark Tower with Sakuragi-cho Station, and three floors of underground parking that accommodates 1,400 cars! Landmark Tower also features one of Japan's important cultural properties, the Dockyard Garden—an authentic replica of the stone dockyard originally constructed in 1896. This is a playful reproduction with scores of restaurants "hidden" behind the huge stone blocks of the drydock.

Hyaku-en Merugarde

3-15-18 Roppongi, Tokyo, Giappone, 106-0032

Over the past few years a new breed of shops has arrived in Tokyo. They are called "c" shops because everything they sell, or almost everything, costs just one hundred yen. Most of these shops stock the same goods: stationery, kitchen utensils, detergents and soaps, and accessories. But there are subtle differences in these shops and each has its own distinct character. Hyaku-en Merugard offers two things that most of these shops do not. The first is simply friendliness. The couple who run the shop are extremely patient with non-Japanese speaking customers and very willing to help them find what they want. The other thing is a clothing reform service. If you need something repaired, just drop it off and they will do the rest.
