Ginza, Commercial district in Chūō-ku, Tokyo, Japan

The streets of Ginza contain numerous department stores, luxury boutiques, and high-end restaurants spread across multiple blocks of central Tokyo.

The district originated in 1612 as a silver mint facility, which influenced its name Ginza, meaning silver mint in Japanese language.

The Kabukiza Theatre stands as the primary venue for traditional Japanese Kabuki performances, presenting daily shows in an architectural masterwork.

The main street, Chuo Dori, transforms into a pedestrian zone during weekends, allowing visitors to walk freely between shops and entertainment venues.

Land prices in central Ginza exceed ten million yen per square meter, making it one of the most expensive real estate locations in Japan.
