Tourists visiting Tokyo tend to hang in hip neighbourhoods like Ginza, Shinjuku and Shibuya.
Toyosu is not yet on their radar, but locals are flocking there.
This Tokyo Bay suburb is the location of the wholesale Toyosu Market, which took on the role of the old Tsukiji fish market.
Opened earlier this year, new hotel Tokyo Toyosu Manyo Club and the adjacent Senkyaku Banrai culinary precinct are pulling in curious locals.
Tokyo Toyosu Manyo Club is a hot spring/hotel property that offers day visits or overnight stays. It has an imposing waterfront location and is just a 17-minute train ride from Ginza's secondary Itchome station.
The new Senkyaku Banrai complex next to the giant markets is designed to look like an old Edo town marketplace.
The name is an approximation of "thousands of people coming and going".
It is home to 65 restaurants and casual eateries overlooking Tokyo Bay.
Built on an island of reclaimed land, Toyosu was once purely an industrial area but is now busy and buzzy.
Many of the restaurants offer food direct from the neighbouring market (closed on Sundays).
It's fun strolling around the outlets trying to work out what speciality is on offer. There is minimal English signage.
The Senkyaku Banrai foot bath garden on the eighth floor offers panoramic views of Toyosu, and is open to all visitors free of charge.
