Shopping in glitzy Ginza
Shopping in glitzy Ginza

What you'll do

Join an insightful local host and work your way through the glamour of Ginza, the only place to be if you’re looking to show off in Tokyo. You could shop till you drop in mega-department stores like Wako, a luxury goods palace distinguished by an iconic clock tower, or you could splash out and savor some fine dining at The Grand 47, a modern take on classic Japanese cuisine.

Absorb some culture at Kabukiza, a playhouse where Ginza celebrates the ancient art of kabuki theater, or, if you’re tired of the excess, let your host lead you to hidden gems like Yurakucho Gado-shita, a diverse collection of tiny restaurants built under the Yamanote railway line, which serve up everything from fine French wine to cheap local street food.

Where you’ll go

Strut your way into the sparkling, luxurious world of Ginza, Tokyo’s glitziest district, where streets feel like catwalks and you can wine and dine your way through the city’s top cuisine. Your local host will be around to guide you through the finer things in life, like megastores filled to the brim with fashion and jewelry.

You could spoil yourself at one of Ginza’s celebrated sushi restaurants or let your host introduce you to an array of eateries along Corridor Gai, a hugely popular street. Off the beaten track, you might discover local theatre at a traditional playhouse, or if you show up in Ginza on the weekend, you’ll experience ‘pedestrian heaven’ when the neighborhood’s main street is closed off to traffic.

    Shohei was excellent. His English was perfect and he knew the area very well including relevant touches of history. He provided the photo ops and guided us through local streets with interesting sights. He was on-time at the meet point, was well organized and after the tour, he sent us links to recommended restaurants. A great experience!
