    Itinerary

    1. 1

      Ginza Mitsukoshi

      15 min

      As the sun sets, walk the streets of Ginza and learn about Japan's cultural development. We will learn about the history and culture of Ginza with the Seiko Clock Tower, a Ginza landmark, as our backdrop. Ginza began as a silver coin mint during the Edo period and has developed into one of Japan's leading high-end commercial cities. Experience the cultural development of Japan in Ginza, where old, long-established stores and cutting-edge commercial facilities coexist.

      Tsukishima Monjya Street

      1.5 hours

      Before heading out after 5pm, try Tsukishima's soul food, Monjayaki (or Okonomiyaki). The roots of monjayaki lie in a sweet called mojiyaki, but during the Taisho era it evolved into okonomiyaki in Kansai and monjayaki in Kanto. Learn about the development of Japanese food culture at Tsukishima's famous Monja Street.

    3. 3

      Uracori Ginza Ura Corridor

      1.5 hours

      Enjoy Japanese after-5 culture in Shinbashi, the mecca of Japanese bar-hopping. You will experience the izakaya culture that began in the Edo period and "bar hopping," an essential part of Japanese culture. After visiting Shinbashi SL Park, which is said to be the birthplace of Japanese railways, we will visit two izakayas on the back corridor street that only locals know about.
