Written by GOOD LUCK TRIP

When traveling in Tokyo, it is convenient to utilize public transportation. By making full use of a discount service such as “Toei Marugoto Kippu" (One-day Pass) allowing unlimited access on all Toei transportation (including Toei Subway, Toei Bus, Toei streetcar (Toden), etc.) for 1 whole day, you can take advantage of good deals, too.
This post will introduce a gourmet tour plan specializing in shops serving delicious dishes in Ginza and Tsukiji. Use the Toei One-day Pass to go around these places.

What is the Toei One-day Pass?

Valid for one full day, it offers unlimited access to Toei subways. This allows users to freely hop on and off Toei buses (including the Tama area), the Tokyo Sakura Tram (Toei streetcar (Toden) Arakawa Line), and the Nippori-Toneri Liner. Mastering the Toei lines enables users to make their way smoothly without missing anything that Tokyo has to offer.

1:00 p.m. Sashimi BAR Kashigashira

After you've had fun shopping, go back to Ginza 4 bus stop and get back on the 都05 bus. Three minutes later, you'll reach the Tsukiji-Sanchōme (Tsukiji 3) bus stop in an instant! From the bus stop, walk 2 minutes to the Sashimi BAR Kashigashira, where you can enjoy a lunch unique to Tsukiji. This shop offers fresh fish chosen with a practiced eye.
In particular, the quality of its Maguro tuna enjoys an established reputation, so the Maguro Zukushi Don (Tuna Rice Bowl) and Ago Ni Teishoku (Simmered Tuna Chin Set Meal) are recommended. There is also a double-decker fish rice bowl, topped with 20 different types of fish such as sea urchin and medium-fat tuna. Named Tsukiji Jogai-Don, it really packs a punch!
