Google Nakamise shopping street hours and it pops up. 10AM to 5PM everyday.

If you enter through the main entrance, and don't stop to shop and working your way through the crowds, it should take any where from 5-10 mins. Go to the temple first and shop on the way back depending how much time you have.

Hi Jet, I don't think there will be changes. Thanks.

Hi..Don't worry this market is always open since it's more merrier during public holidays. But the opening hours depend on the individual shops, usually daily from 9am to 7pm I guess.

Not sure. On the Japan-Talk site, John Spacey, a Canadian working as an Enterprise Architect in Tokyo, posted an article regarding Nakamise. There you can follow him and perhaps he might be able to answer your question.

It varies, but close to 10 AM & the booths/stores close earlier than expected- perhaps 6-7 pm.

Take the Ginza or Asakusa subway lines to the Asakusa station. Or from Tsukiji, walk to Shiodome, take the Yurikamome monorail to the Hinode stop. Walk 10 mins to Hinode Pier and catch the Sumida Cruise to Asakusa (35 min cruise). Check their website for time table. This cruise takes you under many many bridges and they are all different. If you like night scenery, then time it so you can catch the last one.
