Our City Expert's Tips


Local Culture
Gift giving is big in Japan; you'll find locals browsing for crafts, clothes, and vittles on the department stores' food floors.

Shop 'til You Drop!
If you have only one place to shop in Japan, make it here. You'll find it all, from fashion to art, food to crafts, with service that will amaze you. Try to visit at 10am, when the stores open, for the amazing opening ceremony.

Connoisseur
Lovers of fashion love it here, but so do lovers of art. Many of the department stores in Ginza have gallery floors.
