Ginza is one of the mail shopping area in tokyo. Branded showrooms, cafes, restaurants, hi-end luxury brands, you will get whatever you are looking for. We visited this place atleast on 3 occassions during our visit. Must visit.

Very well located area close to very good train connection that allow you to go easily to the main areas in Tokyo. It is also an extremely upmarket shopping and dining district. Massive range of well priced hotels

I happen to be one of three siblings and one of two men in the family and so whenever I go to the mall my dad and I have to sit in our misery while my sisters go shopping for perfume and ladies clothes!! I happen to enjoy going to stores where I can actually buy things!! I had two classes at TUJ today and I decided to live life and go here!! I went out of the subway and there was a mall full of French companies like Dior and Louis Vuitton and it made my global city fandom skyrocket!! I went to two stores to get souvenirs and I also got a donut from a place near the subway!! It was very fun to walk around!!

There's no need to shop, and the window shopping and people watching is pretty incredible. Amazing retail experience, high end brands and so many people. It's quite incredible with a great view of the huge Uniqlo store from atop the garden level on the roof opposite. I don't think anyone should visit Tokyo without visiting Ginza.

We walked along Chuo-Dori in Ginza on a Monday at the end of July, so when the street wasn't closed to traffic. Furthermore, the day was particularly hot. However, in mid-afternoon the temperature dropped significantly, so we enjoyed our strolling; which started from the Yuracucho stop on the Yamanote Line, and ended at Shiodome. Only in a few cases did we enter the shops, preferring to observe everything from the street. We were thus able to see first-hand the outstanding role of Ginza (and its main street, Chuo-dori) in shaping itself as a place for prestigious shops, large fashion houses (often present here with gigantic buildings), but also small historic shops. The role of absolute excellence of Chuo-dori, almost a monopoly in the Tokyo metropolitan area, in terms of the most prestigious shops, seems to me to have been quite weakened in recent decades, to the benefit of districts such as Shibuya; but its primacy still seems undisputed.
