前往日本東京的築地市場（現今多數旅客造訪的是「築地場外市場」），交通方式相當便利，其中以搭乘地鐵最為省時又直覺。整體來說，無論是第一次到東京，或是熟悉市區交通的旅客，都能輕鬆抵達，不需要轉乘太多次或長距離步行。

最被公認為「最方便」的路線，是搭乘都營大江戶線，在「築地市場站」下車。從 A1 出口出站後，幾乎一出地面就能看到市場周邊的指標，只需步行約一分鐘，立刻進入場外市場範圍，對於想早起吃壽司、海鮮丼的旅客來說特別友善，幾乎不浪費任何體力與時間。

如果是搭乘東京 Metro 系統，則可以選擇日比谷線，在「築地站」下車。從 1 號或 2 號出口出站後，沿著指標往南步行，途中會經過外觀醒目的築地本願寺，繼續直走約三到七分鐘，就能看到場外市場入口。這條路線雖然步行距離稍長，但沿途好辨識，也適合順道參觀築地本願寺的旅客。

對於從淺草、羽田機場方向前來的人，搭乘都營淺草線到「東銀座站」也是不錯的選擇。從 A2 或 A8 出口出站後，步行約五分鐘即可抵達築地場外市場。這條路線常被安排在銀座逛街行程中，能夠將購物與美食自然串在一起。

若是使用 JR 線，最近的車站是「新橋站」。從新橋站步行前往築地市場大約需要十五分鐘，對喜歡散步、想感受東京街景的旅客而言並不困難；若不想走太遠，也可以在新橋站轉乘都營大江戶線，只需一站即可抵達築地市場站。同樣地，若是住在銀座一帶，直接步行前往也只需約十分鐘，非常方便。

在行程安排上，也有幾個實用的小提醒。早上七點到九點是東京的通勤尖峰時段，電車較擁擠，若打算清晨前往吃早餐，建議提早出門，或稍微避開尖峰時段，整體體驗會更舒適。從機場前來的旅客也可提前規劃轉乘路線，例如從羽田機場搭東京單軌電車到濱松町站，再轉乘都營大江戶線；從成田機場則可搭利木津巴士到銀座，再轉地鐵或步行前往。

最後特別需要注意的是站名的差異。許多旅客容易混淆「築地站」與「築地市場站」，兩者雖然距離不遠，但若是以效率與便利性來說，前往築地場外市場時，選擇都營大江戶線的「築地市場站」仍然是最省時、最直接的方式。只要事先確認好路線，即使是第一次造訪，也能毫不費力地享受築地的美食與熱鬧氛圍。

Getting to Tokyo’s Tsukiji Market—more precisely, the Tsukiji Outer Market, which is what most visitors go to today—is very convenient, with the subway being the easiest and most efficient option. Whether it’s your first time in Tokyo or you’re already familiar with the city’s transport system, reaching Tsukiji is straightforward and requires minimal transfers or walking.

The most widely recommended route is to take the Toei Oedo Line and get off at Tsukiji Shijo Station. After exiting from Exit A1, you will almost immediately see signs for the market. It’s only about a one-minute walk to enter the outer market area, making this route especially ideal for travelers who want to arrive early in the morning for sushi or seafood bowls without wasting time or energy.

If you prefer using the Tokyo Metro, you can take the Hibiya Line to Tsukiji Station. From Exit 1 or Exit 2, follow the signs and walk south. You’ll pass the distinctive Tsukiji Hongwan-ji Temple along the way, and after about three to seven minutes on foot, you’ll reach the entrance to the outer market. Although this route involves slightly more walking, it’s easy to navigate and works well for visitors who also want to stop by the temple.

For those coming from Asakusa or Haneda Airport, the Toei Asakusa Line to Higashi-Ginza Station is another convenient option. From Exit A2 or A8, it’s about a five-minute walk to the Tsukiji Outer Market. This route is often paired with a Ginza shopping itinerary, allowing visitors to smoothly combine dining and shopping in one trip.

If you’re arriving via JR lines, the closest major station is Shimbashi Station. Walking from Shimbashi to Tsukiji takes around fifteen minutes and can be enjoyable for travelers who like strolling through city streets. Alternatively, you can transfer at Shimbashi to the Toei Oedo Line and ride just one stop to Tsukiji Shijo Station. Similarly, if you’re staying in the Ginza area, Tsukiji is only about a ten-minute walk away, making it easily accessible on foot.

When planning your visit, there are a few practical tips to keep in mind. The morning rush hour in Tokyo typically runs from 7:00 to 9:00 a.m., during which trains can be very crowded. If you’re heading to Tsukiji early for breakfast, it’s best to go very early or slightly later to avoid the peak. Travelers coming directly from the airport should also plan their transfers in advance—for example, taking the Tokyo Monorail from Haneda Airport to Hamamatsucho, then transferring to the Toei Oedo Line, or using a limousine bus from Narita Airport to Ginza before continuing by subway or on foot.

One final but important reminder is to pay close attention to station names. Tsukiji Station and Tsukiji Shijo Station are different stops, though they are relatively close to each other. If convenience and efficiency are your priorities, Tsukiji Shijo Station on the Toei Oedo Line is generally the best choice for visiting the Tsukiji Outer Market. With a bit of advance planning, even first-time visitors can reach Tsukiji easily and fully enjoy its lively atmosphere and renowned food scene.
