Access
There are two entrances, Otemon and Nakanomimon, but both are somewhat difficult to access. The nearest station to Otemon is Tsukijishijo Station (Toei Oedo Line), and the nearest station to Nakanomikado is Shiodome Station (Toei Oedo Line / Yurikamome), but it takes 10 to 15 minutes from the station. Another option is to walk for about 20 minutes to Otemon from Tsukiji Station (Metro Hibiya Line) or Shinbashi Station (JR Yamanote Line / JR Keihin Tohoku Line / Metro Ginza Line / Toei Asakusa Line / Yurikamome).
Therefore, we recommend visiting this area in conjunction with the Tsukiji Outer Market, or taking the water bus from Asakusa, which allows direct access to the park.
