Ginza is Tokyo’s most high-end shopping destination and gorgeously lined with designer brands from all across the globe. Name a brand and you are sure to locate a larger-than-life-sized store here, boasting of a collection better than most parts of the world. The strikingly imposing multi-storey Luis Vuitton showroom here, displaying exotically designed bags is too tempting to be resisted. The façade is almost over-whelming if you are the kind who big on shopping! Interestingly Ginza means ‘silver mint’ and todays Ginza was once the site of a silver coin mint. The name Ginza is synonymous with old wealth, luxury goods and well-heeled ladies. It is best to experience Ginza on weekend afternoon, when the central Chuo Dori street is closed to automobile traffic and become a large pedestrian zone. There are plenty of cafes, chic restaurants and bars, a very pleasant area to go for a leisurely stroll or window-shopping!! #souvenirs #vintage #groceries #market #breakfast #snack #dinner #lunch
