On your doorstep

What you’re living next to if you stay here.

• 4.Tsukiji Outer Market — The wholesale fish market moved on, but the outer market thrives — a warren of stalls and tiny counters serving the freshest sushi, grilled seafood, tamagoyaki and knives to browse. The best food-crawl breakfast in Tokyo; go hungry and early, and eat as you wander.
• 7.Sushi — There is no better place on earth to eat it — from a cheap, brilliant conveyor-belt (kaiten) spot to a hushed counter where a master serves an omakase of the day's best fish, piece by piece. Do at least one properly; a Ginza sushi lunch can be a fraction of the dinner price.
• 8.teamLab digital art — Step inside a world of immersive digital art — rooms of falling flowers, mirrored infinity, and water you wade through as koi swim around your legs, all reacting to your presence. Unlike anything else, and endlessly Instagrammed for good reason; book a timed ticket well ahead, as it sells out.
• 12.Ginza — Tokyo's most glamorous shopping district — flagship stores, department-store food halls in the basement (the 'depachika'), art galleries and old tea houses, the main avenue closed to cars on weekend afternoons. Window-shop, browse a depachika, and feel the city at its most polished.
