Ginza & Nihonbashi Tour

Whether you're interested in authentic Japanese apparel, vintage clothing shops, curated boutiques, traditional ceramics, or Japanese cosmetic products, there are the best spots in the Ginza/Nihonbashi district that suit your interests. 

Ginza

In 1612, the Tokugawa Shogunate built its silver-coin mint here, and a row of money exchangers was established along what is now Ginza Street. “Ginza” was the name of the government department in charge of silver coinage.

The shopping district, which has flourished as one of the first centers for the proliferation of Western culture in Japan, is the most stylish area in the country. Famous stores, which include upscale foreign brand shops and long-established establishments that have been in operation for generations, are centered along Chuo-dori Avenue.  It’s a place to use coins.

~ Experience Old Edo Culture in Nihonbashi District

The Nihonbashi district has enjoyed commercial prosperity as the center of Japan since the Edo Period (1603~1867). Today, the area features modern buildings and highways, and has flourished as a hub of business for wholesalers, warehouses, and markets.

More than four centuries ago, Edo (the former name of Tokyo) was a vast marshland where reeds grew towards the sea.  The Tokugawa Shogunate (1603-1868) reclaimed the land and created a network of waterways for transporting goods and people.
