The ginza is famous as sightseeing city. Most japanese know the big clock building and it's also very famous for tourist.
When you think of going shopping , you will go to the ginza city .
There are lots moal and japanese also go there for shopping.
Especially buliding called GINZA SIX that built last year 2017 is very famous . And others like tokyu plaza, Matsuya and plantan ginza are born as popular shopping place.
Although ginza always shows modan building, if you go path of main load, there are lots authentic shop and you will feel old japanese atmosphere .
There are shops carring products and food of province in japan, and you will be able to buy survenior .The most famous poit is that GINZA is one of the executive area in tokyo japan
GINZA also have uniqe point. Every sunday, GINZA's load will be heaven for walking people. cars cannot enter at the road of GINZA. At that time , there are chairs at center of road and you will see many tourist taking picture
Among the high brands building, UNIQLO and GU, there are also big shops of fast fashion that represent Japan, and if you come to Ginza you will not be bothered by shopping!
Ginza can be reached by foot not only from Ginza station but also from Tokyo station, Shinbashi station, Yurakucho station and Nijiribashimae station. Excellent for access. Just in the middle of Tokyo.
There are quite a lot of duty free shops, and it became a spot which can not be removed if traveling to Tokyo by sightseeing. Shopping while walking in Ginza, how do you feel?
Entering GINZA SIX will be the first installation of Yayoi Kusama's world famous designer.
Entering GINZA SIX will be the first installation of Yayoi Kusama's world famous designer. There are a lot of people giving pictures of this installation when you google or use instagram for GINZA SIX.
Kikka staff me was born and grew in Tokyo, I went there in long holiday called Golden week ,at that time . Ginza six just after opening, but regulation of admission was so terrible that it was hard to get in from the entrance first, and it was hard to get up with escalator, that was about that.
It is not as crowded as it was at the beginning of the year even though it has been nearly a year, but the weekend is very crowded.
Mainly contain a lot of high brand shops, but there are also many restaurants in Tokyo's first landing and Tokyo first show shop.
Particularly talked about Tutaya bookstore.
As for why it became a topic, you can purchase extra large books as well as being exhibited. Not only books but also Japanese swords and other things related to Japanese culture can be bought.
And next to that is Starbucks coffee (as you know).
You can spend reading the book of Tsutaya bookstore here. In addition, there is a Starbucks Reserve Bar (R) with only two stores in Japan. It is a limited store even in the world that carefully selects only rare beans, grinds every order, extracts one by one. I also drank on my first visit the other day the other day, but it was quite delicious. A cup 800 yen or so, but it has worth drinking so stop by when you come!
A new spot like GINZA SIX is also nice, but the streets of Ginza are very beautiful.
Though it is unexpectedly few people who have noticed, in fact Ginza is deciding the size of the signboard. When entering the alley and looking up it is beautifully signs are gathered. In Tokyo, I think that there are many impressions that are cluttered for a lot of shops and people, but Ginza looks very beautiful on the road because there are many areas where stand-up signs are also forbidden. It is interesting to check the point and try new walking and discovering.
Also, I explained this area to the middle of Tokyo, but I am connected at the Tokyo station, the Yurakucho station, the Otemachi station, the Hibiya station, and the Nikkei front station all underground. This is why it is called a labyrinth dungeon in Tokyo. Even those who live in Tokyo are quite difficult because they are lost, but if you master you can move without getting wet on rainy days, and it will also be convenient as they are also connected to Shinmaru Building, OAZO, Hankyu. How about having an underground area on a walking course on a rainy day?
Please contact KIKKA hostel staff and we will propose a recommended course so please call out!
Odaiba in Minato-ku, Koto-ku. It is a Tokyo bay area that you can ride on Yurikamome, a monorail running downtown Tokyo. Odaiba is an area in which activities are actually fulfilling, it is one of Tokyo's spots where you can enjoy it even if you come to play with couples, families, friends, large groups.
Not only shopping including relatively new Diversity Tokyo, Venus Fort, Aqua City, Tokyo Joypolis, Legoland Discovery Center Tokyo, Fuji Television, ROUND 1, Odaiba Beach Park, Oedo Onsen, Nihon Keizai Miraikan, Palette Town It is a sightseeing spot where you can enjoy lots of activities yet.
Either one is recommended because there is a bus that runs at Yurikamome or Odaiba. Yurikamome is recommended from evening to night, when you ride Yurikamome from Shimbashi you can see not only Odaiba but also the scenery of Tokyo from Yurikamora through the Rainbow Bridge. Especially the night view is very beautiful.
You can also see beautiful scenery from Odaiba Beach Park, DECKS Tokyo Beach, Aqua City. There is a reduced size of the statue of liberty in front of Aqua City, but there are also replica statues, which is a popular photo spot in Tokyo.
Because we can enjoy in a different atmosphere also in the day and night, we spend the day in Odaiba from morning and recommend taking pictures again in the evening and at night as well. If it is noon I recommend taking a walk on the sandy beach of Odaiba Beach Park so it's very nice.
Tokyo Joypolis is an indoor amusement park. Especially recently seems to specialize in VR, you can experience the latest attractions. I can play regardless of the weather, so I can go for fun at ease anytime.
Legoland Discovery Center Tokyo opened in Nagoya last year in Legoland but opened in Odaiba before Legoland in Nagoya, it is a leisure facility in Tokyo popular with families. The landscape of Tokyo is exhibited in the Lego block, and there are many photo spots, so it is a spot that can be enjoyed not only by children but also by adults.
The National Museum of Manger is actually Mr. Mamori Mohri who was a pilot. There are also many exhibits related to space, and there are many experiential-type exhibits, so you can enjoy the exhibits while studying with children.
Odaiba thinks that the image as a couple's date course is famous not only in Tokyo but also in Japan, but in reality it is an area that you can enjoy very much with friends or family. A lot of leisure facilities that can not be reached by anything in a day is also attractive.
O-edo Onsen is also visited many times by me. We arrive within 5 minutes on foot from Yurikamome teleport station. It is recommended that you leisurely at the Oedo Onsen after playing at leisure facilities one day or playing at Odaiba Beach Park. As the name Oedo, Japanese culture can be experienced in big city Tokyo. When entering and accepting the reception first, since the yukata arrive at the hall, you can choose your favorite Yukata from about 5 kinds of patterns by gender. If you choose, change your clothes and go to the hall. Entering the hall will expand the space that imagines Japanese traditional festivals.
The kind of food is also fairly substantial, and there are plenty of seats as it is like a famous victorious Ramen noodle, Korean restaurant, Takoyaki etc, street food gourmet, quite anything and like a food court.
Oedo Onsen is a 22 hours business hours. They open from 11 am to 9 am the next morning. Even if you go to Oedo onsen playing at night, you can spend your time slowly without worrying about time. Until 24 o'clock, the footbath zone is open and you can also take a walk while enjoying footbath.
Towels are provided for free, and it is also attractive to be able to go by hand. If you think “I want to go there” and don’t have something you need to go Onsen , That no problem . Because All you need are they can provide . you can really feel the hot spring feeling easily!
Odaiba is expensive for hotels, hostels are expensive, so it is better to stay at Odaiba accessible places than staying in Odaiba. Also, as there are many hotels in Tokyo, I think that enjoying the scenery of Odaiba and Tokyo with Yurikamome is also a good memory, but by all means there are many hotels, but please come and visit our hotel, KIKKA !
Aoyama is within walking distance of Shibuya. And the subculture of Tokyo subculture is the place called Harajuku. There is Meiji Shrine just beside Harajuku. I can see Omotesando if you walk a little more. And a bit further walk, you will arrive at Aoyama.
Aoyama and Omotesando are famous as holy places of young people in Tokyo, but if you walk a little you can feel the fashionable cityscape of adults. Omotesando Hills, high brand shop, a lot of stylish apparel shops and cafés when entering the alley.
Crossing the Jingu Bridge, just off Harajuku Station, there is a Meiji Shrine where there is a famous red torii. It is famous not only in Tokyo, but also among shrines in Japan as a whole. It is quite wide, so it may take about 2 hours to turn around. As I go back to Harajuku for shopping, You can visit Japanese culture by worshiping at Meiji Shrine.
Among Japanese, Takeshita street is famous as the place of origin of Tokyo subculture. Regardless of weekdays or holidays, we are crowded with lots of people. Since I always have lots of new shops, it is on TV too often. Takeshita street not only apparel shop, but also the food is substantial. There are lots of foods that are familiar to the popular instagrams right now. Although it is not such a long distance road, there are shops with many small shops standing side by side, and there are shops with colorful shades, so even walking can fully experience Japanese subculture. Recently Korean cosmetics are on the rise, it may be one of the attractions that Korean cosmetics such as Etude House, 3CE etc. are aligned in Tokyo.
When you leave Takeshita-dori, there is a shopping mall for apparel shops such as Laforet Harajuku and TOKYO PLAZA. There are all the brands popular among Japanese young people.
If you go further, go to the road leading to Omotesando. BBOY's brand shops, sports brand shops, clothing stores, etc. line up in the back alley and should stop by Harajuku and Omotesando by all means if going to buy clothes. There are many cafes in Omotesando. Let's enjoy shopping while taking a break at a fashionable cafe
Speaking of Harajuku, Omotesando, Aoyama is a fashionable image, but the one I'd like to recommend this time is a spot familiar to Instagram.
Tokyo has many sightseeing spots and there are plenty of photo spots. Harajuku is the most recommended for taking fashionable photographs for instagrams in Tokyo.
Harajuku has many stylish shops. Many shops are packed with exterior stuff, and the walls of stores are popular as photo spots.
For example, when you go through Takeshita Dori and go to a grocery shop called Princess One Spoon behind New Balance's street shop, there is a castle-like exterior. There are a lot of people taking pictures on the background here.
There are many shops in this area that the walls are beautiful for the Instagram. There are also many shops sticking to as a photo spot as it becomes publicity by having photos taken even from the store side.
Besides the hairdresser's and the walls of the apparel shop, as well as the walls on the cat street are also quite popular instant shot spots, it is crowded with people.
I think that there are many people taking many pictures in Tokyo sightseeing, but since this area is really full of photo spots, why do not you take a walk and go to the photo spot and shoot a lot?
Hostel Staff Recommended Photo Spots There are so many so please do not hesitate to ask!
