Ginza

This large neighborhood is home to many stores and restaurants and is a favorite destination for the youth of Tokyo.

This district, considered one of the most exclusive shopping areas in the world, has the largest concentration of Western brands in Japan, including Gucci, Chanel, Louis Vuitton and many others. You will also find huge stores of leading electronics companies, including Apple and Sony. Every Sunday and Saturday, from 12:00 to 17:00, the main street that passes through the Ginza district becomes a "pedestrian paradise" and is closed to vehicular traffic, so it's the best time to get there.

This famous stone bridge is the birthplace of Tokyo. Built in 1603, the bridge was declared the starting point of 5 key routes across Japan. Even today, seven national roads are measured from here. A metal plate in the road marks the exact spot where all distances are measured. The bridge is decorated auspiciously with statues of mythical Kirin creatures.

Tsukiji Jogai Market

Reviewed By danielvJ7722IT - Darwin, Australia

The fish markets are huge, I spent about 3 hours walking around the area. Try sampling some of the fresh seafood, I had the best sea urchin (umi) that I had ever had (so creamy), the largest fish eggs which pop in the mouth and delicious oysters with a favor that I can describe.

Namiyoke Inari Shrine

Reviewed By gaylep450 - Chicago, United States

We enjoyed stopping and paying our respects at this traditional Shinto Shrine. The shrine is to protect the market from the waves, as it was built on the water's edge when this part of Tokyo (then Edo) was created from landfill after the Great Fire of Meireki in 1657.
