Ginza is Tokyo's swanky shopping and entertainment district, where you can find high-end boutiques, department stores, art galleries, and fancy restaurants. The area used to be a silver coin mint back in the day, hence the name "Ginza" which means "silver mint" in Japanese. It's one of the most expensive real estate spots in Japan, with one square meter of land costing a pretty penny. On weekends, the main street becomes a pedestrian zone, perfect for leisurely strolls and people-watching. Don't miss the iconic clock tower at Seiko House Ginza or the Kabukiza Theater for a taste of traditional kabuki performances.
