Tokyo Ginza Deep Back Alley Walking Tour

Now, let's start the tour from the birthplace of Ginza! While walking, your English-speaking guide will talk about the transition of Ginza.

You will see the Wako Building and the Mitsukoshi Lion statue which are the symbols of Ginza, , small angel and monkeys, and a shrine tucked away in an alley.

It goes back and forth between the front and back streets. In the back alleys, stores that survived the turmoil of wartime and the postwar period remain.

The former Kojun Building is an essential part of Ginza's history.

Located in a narrow alley that you might accidentally pass by is the Toyoiwa Inari Shrine. The shrine has been located here since the early Edo period, and many people, including Kabuki actors, have long worshipped at this historic shrine. The tour will then walk back toward Ginza 5-chome. Take pictures in the classical and quaint alleys and visit the small shrines that have long been beloved by the locals.

Finally, the tour ends when you reach the Kabuki-za Theater. Thank you for your hard walking!
