65 Ginza

Ginza was the most expensive area in Tokyo. Just a square meter of land here was worth over thirty to forty million yen for commercial properties. Established in 1923 just after the Great Kanto Earthquake, it had become Tokyo's best known, most high-end shopping district. Its most famous street called Chuo Dori which was approximately a kilometer long was lined up with massive department stores, boutiques, souvenir stores of both Japanese and international brands.

Many huge buildings here built around the thirties were still thriving, and still as popular. One such building was Ginza Mitsukoshi, a large department store which opened in 1930, offering a modern yet traditional Japanese style hospitality and services. Another traditional Japanese style department store, and best known for its clock tower, which was a symbol of Ginza district was Ginza Wako.
