This time, I walked from Ginza through Tsukiji, Tsukishima, Fukagawa, and ending at Nihonbashi—3.5 hours covering Tokyo's transition from luxury retail to waterfront markets to temple districts to historic commercial center.

GINZA: LUXURY RETAIL DISTRICT

The walk begins at Yurakucho Station, immediately entering Ginza territory. Sukiyabashi intersection marks Ginza's entrance—the corner where luxury retail starts. Ginza Namiki-dori and the surrounding blocks show Tokyo's premium shopping district: international brand boutiques, department stores, wide sidewalks, the specific character of streets designed for high-end commerce.

Ginza 7-chome extends the luxury district eastward. Showa-dori cuts through as a major road. The Ginza walking section shows the district's consistent architectural language—careful design, maintained streetscapes, the visual signals of expensive retail.

TSUKIJI: MARKET & WATERFRONT

The walk transitions to Tsukiji, famous for its former fish market. The Tsukiji Outer Market continues operating—shops selling kitchen equipment, prepared foods, fresh seafood to both professionals and tourists. The market streets are narrow, crowded, with the specific energy of commercial food districts.

Kachidoki-bashi Bridge crosses the Sumida River, connecting Tsukiji to Tsukishima. The bridge provides views of Tokyo's waterfront—the river, boats, the skyline across the water.

TSUKISHIMA & TSUKUDA: WATERFRONT RESIDENTIAL

Tsukishima sits on reclaimed land in Tokyo Bay. Tsukishima Nishinaka-dori is the main street, known for monjayaki restaurants—a local specialty. The neighborhood has residential character mixed with commercial streets serving locals.

Tsukuda is a smaller district adjacent to Tsukishima. Tsukuda Kobashi is a small canal area. Sumiyoshi Shrine sits in Tsukuda—a neighborhood shrine serving the local fishing community historically. The shrine grounds are modest, tucked into residential blocks.

The Sumida River runs along this district's edge. Aioi-bashi Bridge crosses back toward central Tokyo. These waterfront areas show Tokyo's relationship with reclaimed land and water boundaries.

FUKAGAWA: TEMPLE DISTRICT

The walk continues to Fukagawa, historically a temple district. Tomioka Hachimangu is Fukagawa's main shrine—larger than Sumiyoshi, with more expansive grounds and festival history. Fukagawa Fudo-do is a Buddhist temple nearby, known for fire ritual ceremonies. Both religious sites draw visitors but function primarily for local worship and community events.

Monzennakacho is the neighborhood around these temples—"nakacho" meaning the street in front of temple gates. The area has shopping streets, restaurants, and residential blocks serving people who live and work around the temples.

NIHONBASHI: HISTORIC COMMERCIAL CENTER

Eitai-bashi Bridge crosses the Sumida River again, moving west toward Nihonbashi. Kayabacho represents Tokyo's financial district edge—office buildings, business-oriented services.

Nihonbashi is Tokyo's historic commercial center. The district was Edo-period Tokyo's main merchant area. Today it mixes preserved historic elements with modern office towers and department stores. Nihonbashi Bridge itself is a landmark—the zero point from which distances were measured in Edo-period Japan.

The walk concludes at Nihonbashi 2-chome, completing the route from Ginza's luxury retail through waterfront markets and temple districts to historic commercial center.

GINZA TO NIHONBASHI: CENTRAL TOKYO'S EASTERN CORRIDOR

This Tokyo walking tour covers 3.5 hours moving through central Tokyo's eastern districts. Each area has distinct character: Ginza's international luxury, Tsukiji's market energy, Tsukishima's residential waterfront, Fukagawa's temple concentration, Nihonbashi's historic commerce. The Sumida River runs through as a geographical thread, with multiple bridges connecting districts across water.

Walking this route shows how Tokyo's center organizes different functions—retail, food commerce, residential, religious, financial—into neighboring districts that maintain separate identities despite close proximity.
