Kyobashi

     -Ginza Edition

Edo Kabuki began in the first year of Kanei (1624) when Saruwakaza (later Nakamuraza) raised a tower in the southern part of Nakahashi, and a monument is located at the base of Kyobashi. Kabukiza and Shimbashi Enbujo are also nearby, and it is the beginning of gorgeous performing arts.

In addition, the Kyobashi River flows here, and since the Edo period, there has been a vegetable landing area centered on radish and a green market. It has been in charge of the kitchen of the common people for 300 years before moving to Tsukiji Central Market.

Okuno Building and Yonei Building

Take a tour of the Okuno Building and Yonei Building "Tokyo Mannaka ippindo" and walk around the town.
     -Ginza Edition

It is a building in the early Showa era that survived the war. The Okuno Building (left side) is a building where the main building was completed in 1932, the new building was completed next to it two years later, and the main building and the new building were connected. At that time, it was a seven-story reinforced steel bar built as a luxury rental housing "Ginza Apartment", and there was also a communal bath exclusively for residents in the basement. Currently, there are about 20 antique shops and galleries, making it a base for art.

The building was completed in 1930. It is one of the office buildings that stood in Ginza after the earthquake. When it was built, Ginza developed greatly, and Mobo Moga was walking around the city. It is a Romanesque-style design in the Middle Ages, and currently has a cafe of Henri Charpantier.

Chuo-dori

Let's go out on a tour of Chuo-dori "Tokyo Mannaka ippindo"
     -Ginza Edition

The place name of "Ginza" is derived from the "Ginza government office" of the Edo period. There was a silver coin foundry in 2-chome. After the great fire of 1872, it was reborn as a Western-style brick street, and since then the cutting-edge things and people have gathered. There are many brand shops and long-established stores around the world. There is a "Ginza Rules" in Ginza, where the height of the building is restricted to protect the scenery of the town, and the sky spreads on Chuo-dori.

There are many alleys and Inari Shrines in the city of Ginza. If you enter a little from the main street, there is a way for one person to pass, and there are places where it is dead end. There is a small Inari-san in such a place, which is valued by local people. It gathers the religions of the common people and keeps the merchant town Ginza forever.

It was founded on the site of Matsuzakaya in 2017. The name is named after Ginza 6-chome, but at the same time it expresses "proposing new value with joy and satisfaction that transcends the five senses". The high-brand shops lined up on Chuo-dori are walls with different windows like street shops. From the rooftop garden "GINZA SIX Garden", you can see the cityscape of Ginza and the distant sky tree. This year marks the 6th anniversary of "GINZA SIX".
