You gotta love the Ginza
Ginza Tokyo Shopping Entertainment
Ginza Tokyo Shopping Entertainment, a square meter of land in the district’s center is worth over ten million yen, making it one of the most expensive real estate in Japan.
Ladies in traditional dress.
If you want to see more people wearing a Kimono just visit the shrine in Asakusa.
Lunch at Shabusen
Shabusen has a very high TripAdvisor rating, #96 of 7,835 Restaurants in Chuo.
From one extreme to the other.
Called 300BAR 8 it is one of 3 bars in Ginza serving all drinks for 300 Yen + tax.
Quite small but great value.
The Margaritas were a bit on the small side but still very good value.

New shopping mall Ginza 6
There are a number of luxury shopping malls in the Ginza, this one seems to be much the same with all the luxury labels.
Ginza Tokyo Shopping Dining Entertainment
Ultra modern concept as you would expect.
If you want a great Sushi restaurant look no further than Sushizanmai
Fifteen minutes walk south near where the old fish market was.

kabuki theatre tokyo
The building was destroyed on October 30, 1921. Since it burned down from an electrical fire, the second building was designed to “be fireproof, yet carry traditional Japanese architectural styles”, and at the same time using Western building materials such as lighting equipment. The reconstruction commenced in 1922, and was uncompleted when the 1923 Great Kantō earthquake struck and caused it to burn down. It was rebuilt in a baroque Japanese revivalist style, meant to evoke the architectural details of Japanese castles, as well as temples of pre-Edo period. The theater again burned down in the Allied bombing during World War II. It was restored in 1950 preserving the style of 1924 reconstruction, and was until recently one of Tokyo’s more dramatic and traditional buildings.
Tawaramachi Station
This trip I stayed at the Agora Place hotel which was a wonderful location close to 3 metro stations Tawaramachi, Ueno & Asakusa. You can get an express train direct from Narita & you can catch the Shinkansen from Ueno. Tawaramachi Station is on the Ginza line so it’s direct to the Ginza in 23 minutes.
