Ginza - past, present, and future
| Tour Features | An experienced tour guide shows you "real" Ginza, where your guidebooks will never take you: small alleys, filled with nostalgy of good old days, stretching just behind brand-new luxurious buildings; shrines enshrined on rooftops of not-to-care-about-religion-looking gorgeous department store buildings; shops from local areas across Japan where you can get specialties from those regions without getting air tickets or hopping trains. And after the tour, why not taking a Ginza's public bath, relaxing yourself and forgetting about hustle and bustle of the innercity Tokyo? |
