Overview

What do you imagine when you hear the word “Ginza”?
A shopping district lined with luxury brand stores? A gourmet district lined with high-end restaurants? All of these are true, but in fact, Ginza is exciting “backbehind the scenes” as well !

This is a two-hour walking tour of Ginza's six back alleys. There are hidden shrines and popular stores in the back alleys.
You walk around the glamorous “front” side of Ginza while experiencing its history, and once you step into the back alleys, you can experience the maze-like “back” side of Ginza!

*This tour is not recommended for those who are not confident in their physical strength or have weak legs and hips, as it is a two-hour walk.
Please wear comfortable walking clothes and bring drinking water in summer.
Kabuki viewing is not included in the tour.

    Now, let's start the tour from the birthplace of Ginza! While walking, your English-speaking guide will talk about the transition of Ginza.
  • You will see the Wako Building and the Mitsukoshi Lion statue which are the symbols of Ginza, , small angel and monkeys, and a shrine tucked away in an alley.
  • It goes back and forth between the front and back streets. In the back alleys, stores that survived the turmoil of wartime and the postwar period remain.
  • The former Kojun Building is an essential part of Ginza's history.
  • Located in a narrow alley that you might accidentally pass by is the Toyoiwa Inari Shrine. The shrine has been located here since the early Edo period, and many people, including Kabuki actors, have long worshipped at this historic shrine. The tour will then walk back toward Ginza 5-chome. Take pictures in the classical and quaint alleys and visit the small shrines that have long been beloved by the locals.
