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.
