Ginza ’s origins began in 1612 as a location for the silver coin mint and remained that until the 1800s, but after the Great Kanto earthquake in 1923, it was transformed into an upscale shopping center. A single square meter of land here is worth an astounding ten million yen, holding the title as one of Japan’s most expensive pieces of real estate. It features countless art galleries, boutiques, night clubs, department stores, restaurants, and cafes. Visitors to the area will have no trouble finding every leading brand imaginable, from fashion to cosmetics and everything in between.
