Toyosu (–LF) is a man-made island in Tokyo close to Odaiba. It was created in the 1930s and later enlarged. The famous Tsukiji Fish Market was relocated to Toyosu in 2018 where it reopened as Toyosu Market.
Toyosu also happens to be the site of the first 7-Eleven convenience store, which opened in Japan in 1974. Around 20,000 7-Eleven stores exist in Japan today.
Located by the waterfront, Lalaport Toyosu is one of the largest shopping malls in central Tokyo. Lalaport has many shops carrying popular international brands as well as local favorites. The mall also offers numerous restaurants, a cinema and a promenade by the sea, providing a relaxing atmosphere for visitors.
One popular destination at Lalaport is Kidzania, an indoor theme park for children (aged 3-15) to play-act as different professionals like cooks or pilots. Its entrance is interestingly designed like an airport boarding gate, giving kids the impression of entering into a different world upon passing through it. Adults are allowed to enter only if they are accompanying a child.
Getting there and around
Toyosu Station is served by the Yurikamome and by the Yurakucho Subway Line. Lalaport is a five minute walk from Toyosu Station. Sightseeing boats stop at the pier at Lalaport.
By Yurikamome
The Yurikamome is an automated, elevated train with rubber tires, which connects Shimbashi Station on the JR Yamanote Line with Odaiba and Toyosu. Trains depart every few minutes, and a ride between Shimbashi and Toyosu takes 30 minutes and costs 390 yen. If you ride the Yurikamome more than twice, a 1-day pass for 820 yen is likely to pay off.
