Ginza & Tsukiji


A retail landmark in Ginza since 1932, this exclusive department store with its famous clock tower was designed in the Neo-Renaissance style by Watanabe Jin, also responsible for Ueno's Tokyo National Museum. The store's specialism is watches but you can find an assortment of other luxury goods here too.
