Ginza, byword for luxury and elegance has gone through several urban planning movements from the shogun’s time in early 1600s. The architecture definitely helped to create the character of Ginza passing down its history.

You will start the tour from Tsukiji Hongwan-ji temple, a very unique building with an Indian style exterior and European church like interior. (Tsukiji is not only for the fish market!) Visit the newly built Kabuki theater (2013) next, which inherited the traditional style from past generations. You then continue on to Nicolas G. Hayek Center, Maison Hermes, Tokyu Plaza Ginza, Mikimoto Ginza 2, the Okuno Building and finish up at the intersection of Ginza 4-chome where the Wako (SEIKO watch) building stands. You will also take a secret side trip to see the backstreet neighborhood to appreciate the different aspects of the area.
