The Ginza — comprising eight Tokyo blocks — is the city's most exclusive shopping area and boasts some of the most expensive real estate on earth. You'll find the usual swank retailers as well as Tokyo's landmark department stores, Mitsukoshi, Wako (whose clock is a landmark unto itself), and the 14-story Marion, which houses seven movie theaters and two department stores. If you're looking for tradition, keep an eye out for the elaborate displays of many stores that showcase typical Japanese culture. Like most of the city, the Ginza is most stunning at night when neon and fluorescent lights bring the otherwise gray city to life.
