Ginza

     The Ginza is Tokyo's most famous upmarket shopping, dining and entertainment district, featuring numerous department stores, boutiques, art galleries, restaurants, night clubs and cafes.

One square meter of land in the district's center is worth over ten million yen, making it one of the most expensive real estate in Japan. It is where you can find the infamous $10 cups of coffee and where virtually every leading brand name in fashion and cosmetics has a presence.

My opinion:

It is a wonderful place to visit but it is a big disappointment if you are not a brand shopper. All of the expensive brands are there repeatedly with sky high prices. Waste of time for average shopping. A nice place to go just to have a look around.

Yurakucho Gado-shita Dining

     One of Tokyo's most interesting dining districts is located beneath the elevated train tracks north and south of Yurakucho Station (in Japanese: Gado-shita from "below the girder"). Stretching over about 700 meters, dozens of restaurants are built into the brick arches below the Yamanote Line, ranging widely from small yakitorijoints and izakaya to beer halls and slightly more upscale French wine bars.

Matsuya

     The Ginza store of the Matsuya department store chain offers fashion, foods, household goods, a pet shop, a travel agency and an exhibition hall on its eleven floors.

My opinion:

The basement of Matsuya is a foodies heaven! Bakery style food, deli style food, Japanese sweets, bento boxes and all at very reasonable prices, fill the whole floor. 

Kabukiza Theater

     The Kabukiza is one of the best places to see kabuki, featuring plays almost every day. The building was reconstructed and reopened in April 2013. It closely resembles its predecessor except for a skyscraper that now stands above it.

My opinion:

You can see Kubuki show in here. A true portal into Japanese culture and history. It was an integral part of learning about this amazing culture. The theatre itself isn't anything special in the main room but the lobby and exterior are beautiful.
