A Seaside Stroll from Harumi Futo Park to Toyosu Market via the Olympic Village

This time, we start from Harumi Futo, a place you wouldn’t visit unless you make a point of going. Even if you’ve heard the name, many people don’t know what it’s like. Unknown places are perfect for a walk.

However, there is one thing to note about this route. Avoid it on bad weather days, especially when it’s very windy, as you will cross a large bridge that is quite high above the water.

Along the seaside of Harumi Futo, there is a park with a cafe inside. Let’s aim for this cafe first. It’s a direct bus ride from Tokyo Station, Ginza, and Tsukiji on the city bus, serviced by brand-new hydrogen fuel cell buses.

This cafe features a lovely terrace seating area with views of the Harumi Pier Park. The menu is stylish, emphasizing quality ingredients. The second floor is designated as a workspace.

After relaxing at the cafe and park, pass through the apartment complexes of the Tokyo Olympic Village and head to Toyosu Bridge. It’s only about a 10-minute walk, but you’ll also come across places like LaLaport HARUMI FLAG along the way. If it’s a particularly windy day, consider calling a taxi.

TOYOSU BRIDGE
A large bridge connecting Harumi Wharf and Toyosu Market. On sunny days, the view is great, and you can enjoy a pleasant walk, but walking at a considerable height above the water can be thrilling. For those who are afraid of heights or when the weather is bad with strong wind and rain, it is recommended to take a taxi.

Once you cross the bridge, the next spot is right in front of you. Of course, you can also explore inside the Toyosu Market.

A new tourist facility has opened at Toyosu Market. There are various delicious restaurants gathered here. Even if you can’t visit your desired store inside Toyosu Market, you can still have a great time here. In addition to dining, there are also accommodation facilities and hot springs.

You can walk to the next spot, but it’s easier to take the Yurikamome line from Shijomae Station (U14) and get off two stops later at Toyosu (U16). The next spot is inside Lalaport Toyosu.

GYOZA NO FUKUHOU TOYOSU
There are several branches of this famous gyoza shop in Tokyo, and there’s one here at “Lalaport Toyosu” as well. It’s a great place where you can easily enjoy delicious gyoza while taking a stroll. It’s comfortable for solo diners too. You can choose between gyoza with or without garlic, boiled or fried. Besides gyoza, I also recommend the zāsai-zuke …
  • EAT

If the weather is good, you can enjoy a pleasant walk past the seaside apartment complexes. Harumi Futo will eventually be accessible by train, which adds to its somewhat mysterious atmosphere, as it’s unclear if it’s inhabited.

Many items in the Toyosu Market can be pricey, so it’s recommended to limit yourself to snacking and save your main meal and shopping for Lalaport Toyosu, where a Blue Bottle Coffee has also recently opened.

The nearest stations are Toyosu (Y22) on the Yurakucho Line, or Toyosu (U16) on the Yurikamome line mentioned earlier.
