Last update :

Stretching approximately 1.3km east to west from Tokyu Ikegami Line's Togoshi Ginza Station, this shopping district boasts around 400 establishments ranging from fresh produce stores to cafes, bakeries, and bathhouses.

Renowned as Tokyo's longest shopping street, its name "Togoshi Ginza" was inspired by a desire to emulate the vibrancy of the bustling Ginza district and the historical transfer of bricks from the rubble of Ginza street after the Great Kanto Earthquake, making it the original "〇〇 Ginza" among many others across Japan.

The street, rich in downtown charm, is famous for its "Togoshi Ginza Croquettes," with several shops offering their unique versions, making it fun to compare and contrast. The street also features its original mascot, Togoshi Ginjiro (affectionately known as "Gin-chan"), who plays a vital role in enlivening the shopping district. Look out for Gin-chan's original merchandise available for sale.

    When you come here, you have to try walking around with a croquette or soft serve in hand. It's so much fun to snack as you stroll and enjoy the atmosphere of the old downtown area! 👍

    Unlike the usual busy Japanese shopping streets, this place is great if you want to get a feel for how locals live day to day.

  • Hanako Angela

    With over 400 little shops, there are tons of tasty snacks to try. Getting there is pretty convenient, too.

  • James Lin

    It's worth spending a bit more time here. Some of the old shops sell things you hardly see anymore.

    Most of the people walking here are locals. The shopping street is old but really long, with lots of stores to check out. Since there aren't many foreign visitors, some shops don't offer tax-free services.
