The Ginza District
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.
