When will you make these trips?
Please note that the wholesale market in Tsukiji will move to Toyosu in November 2016; the outer market will remain in Tsukiji.
- japan-guide.com: Tsukiji Market
http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e3021.htmlI will be staying at Richmond hotel at Oshiage how do I get from Oshiage station to Tsukiji market then to Odaiba then to Tokyo tower and back to Oshiage? Just to make sure: do you plan to try your luck to see a tuna auction in the Tsukiji Wholesale Market?
If so, I recommend you would stay close to the market on the previous night, because visitors usually start lining up hours before 5am and trains are not available during 1 - 5 am to the nearby stations.

http://www.tokyometro.jp/en/subwaymap/pdf/routemap_en.pdfThe order of the sites sounds very nice to me.
Starting from your hotel in the morning after 5 am, you can take the following route.
: Leg 1 = your hotel -- Oshiage Station (Z-14) -- (Z-11) Kiyosumi-shirakawa Stations (E-14) -- (E-18) Tsukijishijo Station -- the Tsukiji market(s).
: Leg 2 = the Tsukiji market(s) -- Tsukijishijo Station (E-18) -- (E-19) Shiodome Stations (U02) -- (U06) Odaiba-kaihinkoen Station or another -- a site in the Odaiba area.
: Leg 3 = a site in the Odaiba area -- Odaiba-kaihinkoen Station (U06) or another -- (U02) Shiodome Stations (E-19) -- (E-21) Akabanebashi Station -- Tokyo Tower.
: Leg 4 = Tokyo Tower -- Akabanebashi Station (E-21) -- (E-20) Daimon Station (A-09) -- (A-20) Oshiage Station -- your hotel.
The total railroad cost is estimated at from 1580 to 1700 yen (#) per adult passenger.
Also admission fees are required regarding facilities such as observatories of Tokyo Tower.
One thing to note is that admission tickets to the upper observatory (at 250 meters) of Tokyo Tower are sold on the higher floor of the lower observatory (at around 150 meters).
