Do you know a town magazine called "Ginza Hundred Points"?
As the name suggests, it is an information magazine of Ginza published by the store association "Hundred Stores Association", which has many long-established stores in Ginza.
It was first published in 1955, and it is the oldest town magazine in Japan to become No.735 this month. (Maybe)
The name of the town magazine is "Ginza 100 Points" instead of "Ginza 100 Stores" even though it is published by the Ginza 100 Store Association!
What is different from town magazines in other regions is that "Ginza Hundred Points" has a fixed price.
That's also a pretty price of 270 yen.
The number of copies is about 100,000, and of course, like other free papers, it is located at the storefronts of stores that are members of the Hundred Store Association and can be obtained free of charge.
However, it is surprising that there are about 1,500 people who subscribe annually for a fee (4062 yen, including shipping costs). It is said that there are many readers from Hokkaido to Okinawa and overseas.
The content is based on the current information of Ginza, but it is enough to read as a booklet, with contents not found in other town magazines, such as essays by celebrities from various fields and round-table discussions with celebrities.
