Ginza
銀座
Tokyo's top luxury shopping district, with the Wako clock tower as its landmark, GINZA SIX, UNIQLO's global flagship and major department stores; the central avenue becomes a pedestrian zone on weekends.
Ginza is Tokyo's most iconic high-end commercial district. The Wako clock tower and the Mitsukoshi department store at the Ginza 4-chome crossing are landmarks. Along Chuo-dori are department stores including GINZA SIX, Matsuya and Mitsukoshi, as well as flagship stores of international luxury brands, UNIQLO's global flagship, the long-established stationery shop Itoya, and the MUJI flagship, which includes a hotel and restaurant. From midday on weekends, Chuo-dori is closed to traffic as a pedestrian paradise, so you can stroll and take photos in the middle of the street. The rooftop garden of GINZA SIX offers free views over the street, and the Kabuki-za theatre is nearby. Most shops open at 10:00 or 11:00 and close at 20:00. Ginza Station, Higashi-Ginza Station and JR Yurakucho Station are all within easy reach.
Opening hours
Shops about 10:00–20:00; Pedestrian Paradise Saturday and Sunday 12:00–17:00 (until 18:00 April–September)
