Located at a prime location in Ginza, the popular shopping mall Tokyu Plaza Ginza has a pronounced façade that honors the traditional Japanese craft of architecture called the “Edo Kiriko” glass-faceted concept.
The innovatively structured building lends itself to 13 floors of commercial stores, restaurants, coffee shops, and other forms of leisure activities. You can essentially play a game of “Guess the Brand” in this swanky department store without getting tired since it is home to as many as 125 different branches of Western or global brands to Japanese-authentic ones.
One more auspicious thing to love about this place is the “Kiriko Lounge” sky garden on the sixth floor, which opens up to sweeping views of the city below.
