Ginza boasts a history dating from the Meiji period. Long-established businesses, renowned department stores, and the world's most distinguished designer stores, as well as restaurants and high-class clubs, line the streets of this sophisticated and charming downtown area.
As a result, the word "ginza" has now become synonymous with "shopping street," and many shopping streets throughout Japan are known by the same name.
The streets are arranged along a handy grid pattern; easy to memorize, and on festivals and holidays the main street is opened up as a paradise for pedestrians.
