Access
Tsukiji Station (Metro Hibiya Line) and Tsukijishijo Station (Toei Oedo Line) seem to be the closest on map, but in both cases it takes more than 5 minutes on foot.
It will take less than 10 minutes to walk from Higashi Ginza Station (Metro Hibiya Line, Toei Asakusa Line), so it is best to choose a station that is easy to access.
