What comes to mind when thinking of “Ginza”? Perhaps a shopping district filled with luxury brand stores or a gourmet area with upscale restaurants? While these are accurate, Ginza also offers thrilling experiences “behind the scenes”!

This is a two-hour walking tour through six of Ginza’s back alleys. Discover hidden shrines and popular shops tucked away in these alleys. Stroll through the glamorous “front” of Ginza, absorbing its rich history, and then venture into the maze-like “back” side of Ginza!

This tour is not suitable for those lacking confidence in their physical stamina or those with weak legs and hips, as it involves a two-hour walk. Please wear comfortable walking attire and bring water during the summer. Kabuki viewing is not part of this tour.
