Ginza is a fancy, upmarket shopping district and it won’t let you forget it. You’re far more likely to find internationally-recognized luxury brand clothes and accessories here than a charming Mom-and-Pop shop or hip independent coffee store.
Originally, it was part of the downtown area of Edo (olden days Tokyo), and still has a bit of that old school charm. But the area was always somewhat posh. It was named after a silver mint that used to be there after all.

Tour was top class. The company provided itinerary was very relevant but also very flexible to suit our needs. As it was a wet rainy day, the flexibility was important and we had a great day. Kibo as our driver was simply fantastic. Very knowledgeable about Tokyo, extremely helpful and a pleasure to spend the day with. Highly recommended.

We had such a great time on our tour of Tokyo. Our driver, Aibek was informative and entertaining. We saw so many interesting places and got to explore so much of the city. Sometimes he would drop us off at a place and instruct us where to go, and then pick us up at a convenient location. Other times, he would accompany us in enjoyable walking tours. We were interested in trying Fugu and Abe found us a very nice restaurant specializing in Fugu and joined us for a fun meal. After taking this tour, I feel like we saw so much of the city and Abe gave us suggestions for places to visit during our remaining time - which we did! This tour definitely made our time in Tokyo memorable and our time with Abe was priceless! A++ Highly recommended

Our guide Abe was very knowledgeable and courteous. He took us to many sights across the city and has great knowledge about context, history, etc. He was so helpful on how to get tickets for Skytree in advance. Would definitely recommend this tour, laid-back and personable guide who gives a great overview of Tokyo!
