Ginza
Upscale Tokyo district
Ginza is an upscale commercial district in central Tokyo, known for luxury shopping, high-end department stores, and exclusive restaurants.
The name has become synonymous with expensive elegance in Japanese culture, sometimes used attributively to suggest premium quality or sophistication: the Ginza of American retail.
Streets in the district are closed to traffic on weekend afternoons, becoming pedestrian promenades.
