A long-established department store representing Ginza, the upscale shopping district, and also known for its famous meeting spot.
Ginza is renowned as an upscale shopping district. Located at its center, Ginza Mitsukoshi is one of Japan's most prestigious long-established department stores and a Ginza landmark. Mitsukoshi began as a kimono fabric store called Echigoya, tracing its origins back to 1673. The Ginza store opened in 1930 and has been a prominent symbol of the district for about 90 years.
The store consists of the Main Building, which faces Chuo-dori, Ginza's main street, and the New Building across Azuma-dori. The two buildings are connected on the 3rd floor and above. There is also the Mihara Building, which houses a photography studio. Inside, the department store offers floors dedicated to food, cosmetics, women's clothing and accessories, men's clothing and accessories, home furnishings, gifts, and restaurants. One distinctive feature is the terrace on the 9th floor of the Main Building, home to the Ginza Shusse Jizoson statue. The lion statue at the Main Building entrance is also one of Ginza's best-known meeting spots, attracting a steady stream of visitors every day.

While shopping at Ginza Mitsukoshi, I unexpectedly came across a very cute eyewear store. The glasses had distinctive designs, and the displays were also very refined. Just looking at all the different styles was interesting.
Each frame had its own style—some were simple, while others were playful and cute. I couldn't help trying them on one after another.

Located in the heart of Ginza, it not only brings together international luxury brands, high-end cosmetics, and an outstanding basement food hall, but also frequently hosts exciting exhibitions on its upper floors, including special exhibitions and gallery shows. Most notably, the 8th floor is home to ART AQUARIUM MUSEUM GINZA, which combines light, shadows, and the beauty of goldfish. The photos look absolutely magical!

On my first trip to Ginza, I was immediately drawn in by the exterior of Ginza Mitsukoshi. It looks grand and stylish, and even just taking photos at the entrance gives you that upscale Tokyo shopping district vibe.
This department store is in a prime location and feels super high-end. They sell top-notch brands and have some fancy restaurants, too.
