Here’s a small sample of the spots we feature in Tokyo’s ritziest district.
Feeling the thirst for a good cup of matcha? Jugetsudo Ginza Kabukiza is a refined tea salon inside Ginza’s famous kabuki theatre which specialises in high-quality Japanese teas, from premium sencha to vibrant green matcha. Guests can enjoy expertly brewed teas alongside a selection of seasonal sweets and light bites, making it the perfect spot to relax and savour traditional flavours in between kabuki acts.
Up for a fancy dinner? Dine in a time-honoured Ginza institution, namely Ginza Kitcho, which was founded in 1930 in Osaka and later brought to Ginza. Kitcho has played a key role in shaping the foundation of traditional Japanese cuisine. Foodies will want to experience its exquisite kaiseki meals, crafted from the finest seasonal ingredients and showcasing culinary artistry within a cosy and intimate space.
For an artsy day in Ginza, head to Ginza Graphic Gallery, a leading space dedicated to graphic art and design. The gallery showcases influential designers from around the world across a range of fields, including posters, book design, typography, illustration, logo design, advertising, web design and motion graphics.
