seems like u are travelling up and down. up from tsukiji to asakusa, then down to odaiba again. actually u can walk from tsukiji to shimbashi to take the yurikamome line to odaiba. unless ur aim is to take the river cruise

seems like the direct line is just 3 timings if i'm didn't interpret wrongly. i think it does operate on 30 dec.

Departing Asakusa for Daiba 10:10 13:25 15:25

otherwise, i think you can take the 14:05 cruise to hinode pier then wait for the 15:05 cruise to odaiba seaside park.

u dun need the whole day for Tsukiji market on day 7. probably take u half a morning.


u can take a look at Ameyoko in Ueno. not exactly flea market, more of street market, something like bugis street. u can visit Ueno and Asakusa together coz there are near each other.


if u are not a big anime fan, Akihabara will not take the whole day also.

maybe u can post ur itinerary here so we know what u have already included? since a lot of places are closed on 1st jan, maybe u can visit shrines, parks and gardens? major dept stores may be open as well.

hmm... too much walking then a bit hard liao. coz no matter where u go, it will be mostly walking around sightseeing places, streets or malls.
of course u can also find a nice spot to sit, relax and people watch. parks will be good, cafes are good too.

It will be a short stay in tokyo, we will be departing to osaka on the 2nd. I know it's too short to explore tokyo, but we planned to come back again next time....hahaha, so u suggest me to ditch disney and visit shrines and gardens ah?

if you going tsukiji early, can go disney after that also instead of 1st jan?

it will be less packed?
