We continued on Gaien-Dori and soon entered a bike lane heading towards the Toyosu area of Tokyo. Soon, we neared the central Ginza area. On weekends, starting at 11AM, this part of town becomes closed off to all traffic, including bikes. We had plenty of time before the streets were shut off to all but pedestrians, so we cruised past the tastefully crafted shop windows of various luxury brands.
After a straight leg on Miyuki Road, we came across Tsukiji Market. We had the option to enter and explore the market, or take a left towards Harumi Road. The course rambled on across the Kachidoki Bridge where we crossed the Sumida River. It didn’t take long before we then came across the Harumi Bridge where after a short climb, we were treated to a spectacular view of the Tokyo Bay.
