We went to Ginza on a Sunday when the main street is closed to traffic and they have tables and chairs on the street for folks to sit down. I've been to Ginza before, but have never really enjoyed it like I did on this trip because of visiting it on a serene Sunday versus a Saturday. If you have... More

There is a lot to see, eat and do in Ginza. Pace yourself and enjoy the sights. Most of the high end restaurants you have to book in advance, so if you're visiting and want to be spontaneous in choosing an eating spot, just go in and ask and if they can't accommodate you, move on to the next.

Visited on a Saturday afternoon when Ginza street was closed off to vehicles. Nice and easy walk without much of a crowd while visiting shops along the way.

very busy but awesome. Walk around and go to one of the small bars in the area like the 300 bar. Japanese people are very friendly!

This city was very much like visiting 5th avenue in NYC. The streets crowded, in a good way. Beautiful designer stores, lovely window displays lots of neon lights and fun tall buildings. Definitely a necessary visit

We stayed in Ginza one night. Seems like a very nice area, clean and upmarket. The main shopping street has everything your heart desires. Department stores have great food halls in the basement - TRY THEM! Restaurants galore throughout Ginza. Nice place to walk day and night. People are very friendly and respectful.

Just walking around is pleasant. If time does not allow you to go more than once, you must absolutely go at night. It is so nice to be in a downtown area that is so clean and safe in spite of the crowd. The neon lights and building architecture is great. Most restaurants had very reasonable prices, most of the...

Definetly a place to stroll and feels the glitters of Tokyo but akin to any high end shopping street of any developed country. If u wanna explore japan then this place is not in to be in. Found one duty free electronics shop (name ??) which was reasonably priced.

If you like browsing high end and boutique retail, then this is your place. Very chic and sophisticated neighbourhood. Lots of good restaurants to eat in too; a must see in Tokyo.

I loved all the shops you could rile away your hours. Really easy to get to from Sumisho Hote- only 3 stops away. Matsuya Ginza department store is a great department store to visit, plenty to choose from. I ate at one of the restaurants on the 8th floor and was really happy what I ordered. It was a set... More
