Eriko is the best!
We had a wonderful time with Eriko! She is a super knowledgeable guide and a very nice person! We learnt so much about Ginza architecture from her! She also showed us all local spots for shopping and stayed longer than the planned tour time! We highly recommend her and hope to see her again during our next visit to Tokyo! Excellent tour! Aleks, Billy and Tom

Ginza!!!
Our guide, Apy, was an absolute gem throughout our entire experience. With her boundless knowledge, infectious enthusiasm, endless patience, and considerate approach, she made our time truly remarkable. Apy adeptly tailored her guidance to our group's needs, consistently providing extra insights and alternative options. She's an urban expert, transforming what could have been a daunting experience of navigating and interacting with locals into an effortlessly enjoyable and efficient adventure. I wholeheartedly recommend having Apy as your guide in Ginza to enhance your trip's enjoyment and make the most of your time.

Best tour I have been on...
Best tour I have been on in a long time. Haruka was magnificent. Great overview of historical context and insight into contemporary culture. Not just a walking tour.
People Also Ask
Q:Is Ginza worth a visit?
A:Yes, Ginza is definitely worth visiting and is a must-visit central Tokyo neighborhood. It’s one of Tokyo’s most upmarket and glamorous neighborhoods and is a fascinating place to browse, whether or not you’re shopping for luxury goods. Find department stores and high-end stores on the main street, as well as smaller boutiques on side-streets.
Q:What is the best time to visit Ginza?
A:The best times to visit Ginza are Saturday and Sunday afternoons, when the main street—Chuo Dori—is closed to vehicle traffic. While many people come here to shop on the weekends, it’s easier to look around when you’re not dodging cars. Many shops are open between mid-morning and mid-evening, with restaurants usually open later.
Q:Which street is best in Ginza?
A:Ginza’s Chuo Dori—which can be translated as Central Avenue or Main Street—is arguably the best street to check out first. It runs through the middle of the neighborhood and has many of the biggest department stores and most luxurious designer brands. However, don’t miss the side streets for more offbeat finds.
Q:What is the best day of the week to visit Ginza?
A:Saturday and Sunday afternoons are arguably the best days to visit Ginza, as the main street, Chuo Dori, is pedestrianized. This makes walking around more pleasant. However, the weekends are also the busiest days to visit. If you prefer to avoid crowds, try visiting on a weekday morning.
Q:Is Ginza good for tourists?
A:Yes, Ginza is a must-visit neighborhood for tourists when visiting Tokyo. While the stores mainly sell luxury goods, you don’t need to go shopping for high-end products to enjoy walking up and down Chuo Dori. Visiting Ginza gives a fascinating insight into parts of contemporary Japanese culture.
Q:Is Ginza foreigner friendly?
A:Yes, like most of Tokyo, Ginza is a foreigner-friendly neighborhood. If you have a generous budget for shopping, you’ll be welcomed into the department stores and boutiques. But even if you’re not in the market for luxury goods, foreigners are welcome to browse and take in the atmosphere.
