Our Guide was exceptional!
It was our Guide Taka that made our experience fabulous!
We saw all we wanted to see in Ginzu but it was the knowledge and kindness of Taka that made our tour.

Worthwhile
Ginza is a thriving commercial area with several luxury brands having commissioned world class architects to create statement buildings. Yuki was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. It was a great experience

Great architecture
Yoshi was a great guide! You get to see a entire different view of the city! Looking up instead of forward or down you can learn so much.

Wonderful tour of an interesting neighborhood full of art, charm and interesting architecture
Our family’s tour guide was very knowledgeable and delightful, and brought to life the stories behind many of the beautiful facades, interesting buildings, lovely art installations that abound in Ginza. My family thoroughly enjoyed their time with her during this expansive tour of Ginza. Thoroughly recommend this tour for those more interested in exploring this neighborhood beyond just the shopping (which is also amazing, but thats a different tour.)

Exceeded expectations
Exceeded expectations. Mari was a very knowledgeable and accomodating guide, and with excellent English. The tour company contacted us ahead of our arrival to ask about our interests so they could customise the tour. Mari has an in depth knowledge of Ginza - not only architecture and history, but also hot spots to eat and shop. Very generous in sharing her local knowledge. Highly recommend this tour.

Architecture and More in Ginza
Yoko was a friendly and informative guide who included a variety of experience. We saw interesting skyscrapers in Ginza, but also the Buddhist temple, kabuki theater, the Outer Market, and two shrines, one of which was s tiny hidden gem between two huge buildings. I would highly recommend both the tour and Yoko to any travelers with an interest in architecture.

Very interesting Tokyo Ginza architecture tour
We had a tour that was both informative and friendly, led by the very knowledgeable guide Yoko. We looked at historical architecture as well as modern architecture. Yoko was very accommodating and a pleasant person. We can recommend the tour without reservation.

Ginza!!!
Our guide, Apy, was an absolute gem throughout our entire experience. With her boundless knowledge, infectious enthusiasm, endless patience, and considerate approach, she made our time truly remarkable. Apy adeptly tailored her guidance to our group's needs, consistently providing extra insights and alternative options. She's an urban expert, transforming what could have been a daunting experience of navigating and interacting with locals into an effortlessly enjoyable and efficient adventure. I wholeheartedly recommend having Apy as your guide in Ginza to enhance your trip's enjoyment and make the most of your time.

Eriko is the best!
We had a wonderful time with Eriko! She is a super knowledgeable guide and a very nice person! We learnt so much about Ginza architecture from her! She also showed us all local spots for shopping and stayed longer than the planned tour time! We highly recommend her and hope to see her again during our next visit to Tokyo! Excellent tour!

People Also Ask
Is Ginza worth a visit?
Yes, Ginza is definitely worth visiting and is a must-visit central Tokyo neighborhood. It’s one of Tokyo’s most upmarket and glamorous neighborhoods and is a fascinating place to browse, whether or not you’re shopping for luxury goods. Find department stores and high-end stores on the main street, as well as smaller boutiques on side-streets.
What is the best time to visit Ginza?
The best times to visit Ginza are Saturday and Sunday afternoons, when the main street—Chuo Dori—is closed to vehicle traffic. While many people come here to shop on the weekends, it’s easier to look around when you’re not dodging cars. Many shops are open between mid-morning and mid-evening, with restaurants usually open later.
Which street is best in Ginza?
Ginza’s Chuo Dori—which can be translated as Central Avenue or Main Street—is arguably the best street to check out first. It runs through the middle of the neighborhood and has many of the biggest department stores and most luxurious designer brands. However, don’t miss the side streets for more offbeat finds.
What is the best day of the week to visit Ginza?
Saturday and Sunday afternoons are arguably the best days to visit Ginza, as the main street, Chuo Dori, is pedestrianized. This makes walking around more pleasant. However, the weekends are also the busiest days to visit. If you prefer to avoid crowds, try visiting on a weekday morning.
Is Ginza good for tourists?
Yes, Ginza is a must-visit neighborhood for tourists when visiting Tokyo. While the stores mainly sell luxury goods, you don’t need to go shopping for high-end products to enjoy walking up and down Chuo Dori. Visiting Ginza gives a fascinating insight into parts of contemporary Japanese culture.
Is Ginza foreigner friendly?
Yes, like most of Tokyo, Ginza is a foreigner-friendly neighborhood. If you have a generous budget for shopping, you’ll be welcomed into the department stores and boutiques. But even if you’re not in the market for luxury goods, foreigners are welcome to browse and take in the atmosphere.
