It's 2.6 kilometers from 1-chome to 7-chome, packed with everything you could want—food, shopping, and entertainment. This is the heart of daily life and shopping for people in Osaka.

Tempura Yamanoue Ginza
At Tempura Yamanoue Ginza, you can savor the proud tempura tradition of the long-established "Yamanoue Hotel," located in Ochanomizu, with a history of 70 years.
Tempura really tastes best when it's made with fresh ingredients. The rich aroma of sesame oil makes it even more delicious—it's the perfect combo!

Shiseido Parlor Ginza Main Store Salon de Cafe
The Shiseido Building in Tokyo Ginza, with its symbolic brick-colored facade, stands along Ginza Chuo Street. The 11-story building houses a variety of facilities, including shops, cafes, restaurants, bars, salons, and halls, making it usable in various scenarios. Located on the third floor is the "Shiseido Parlor Ginza Main Store Salon de Cafe."
When we went to the cafe, it was a holiday and the line was super long, so we decided not to wait. Instead, we bought their signature Hanatsubaki cookies from another floor to take home. These cookies have been around for 80 years—they have a buttery, wheat flavor and come in beautiful packaging. They're great as gifts.

Akigawa Valley
The Akigawa Valley, spanning approximately 20 km from Akiruno City to Hinohara Village in Tokyo, is a vast expanse of nature that seems unbelievable just an hour away from Tokyo's bustling center. Loved by locals as a handy spot for experiencing nature, the valley offers breathtaking views of rural landscapes in every season, from fresh greenery to autumn leaves. It's also a popular spot for outdoor activities like barbecuing and camping.
If you want to experience nature outside of central Tokyo, this is a great day trip. There's so much greenery and the scenery changes with the seasons. It's only about an hour from downtown Tokyo, so it's super convenient!
