Description
Ginza is Japan's and perhaps Asia's most prestigious shopping area. Many up-market retail shops have their flagship stores here. Mitsukoshi, Matsuya and Matsuzakaya department stores are all located here, as are Yamaha Music shop and the cosmetics giant, Shisedo. Ginza attracts smart and elegant shoppers and office workers as well as students in T-shirts. There are countless wining and dining places to choose from--from the reasonable to the outrageously expensive. If you have money to spend on shopping or wining and dining, Ginza should be on your itinerary. If you don't have the cash to spend, try window shopping - you will wish you had the cash.
