Ginza Architecture Tour

- 3 Hours
- Private tour
- All weather
Overview
Discover the history of Japanese urban design in a modern shopping district. Beginning in the era of the Shogun, and reborn through the tragedies of earthquakes and fires, Ginza has evolved to take on a unique character- a place where tradition meets the latest high fashion. On this tour you'll witness the district's unique character through a visit to a Buddhist temple from 1934 to the revitalized Louis Vuitton Namikidori in 2021. They are now neighbors to works by architectural icons such as Renzo Piano, Toyo Ito and Shigeru Ban. However, the charm of Ginza is not only the eye-catching boutiques facing the main street but also the small shrines that appear in the back alleys and the designs that weave the history of Ginza. It is a fascinating area that cannot be described simply as "an area of innovation and tradition", but rather as a treasure box full of surprises!
