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.

    有別於日本熱鬧購物街,很適合來這裡了解日本人平日的生活形態樣貌。

  • Hanako Angela

    超過400家小店舖有很多美食小吃,交通也算方便。

    值得多花一點時間停留,有些老店鋪買的東西已經很少看到。

    走在商店街上看到幾乎都是日本當地人,雖然是舊的商店街但真的很長有很多店可以逛,也因為沒什麼外國人來所以有些店家沒有免稅的服務。
