If your plan is to enjoy a day of shopping in Tokyo's Ginza district, then you don't want to miss one of the area's iconic landmarks, GINZA SIX.

Housed inside this commercial facility are a wide range of irresistible attractions: from luxury brands representing the world, all the way to cosmetics and modern art. There are even fine dining restaurants and confectionery shops.

This facility consists of six basement floors and rises thirteen stories above ground. Nine floors within this complex are lined with a total of 240 shops.

Also, the Basement 3rd Floor features the Kanze Noh Theater, where you can enjoy the unique experience of watching Japan's traditional performing art of Noh. So in addition to shopping, visitors can also get a taste of Japanese culture.

When you desire a break from shopping, please visit the 4,000 square-meter rooftop garden (about 43,000 square feet). While enjoying a relaxing moment in the lush green space spreading out in front, you won't believe you're in the heart of the city.

Everywhere throughout the complex there is public art on display. So art appreciation is also one of the true charms of GINZA SIX.

A must-see is the large art installation by international artist, Julian Opie, displayed in the central atrium―this building's signature feature. When you're taking the escalator be sure to look up and check this out (see photo above).

The other is Shorakuen KIOSK, a shop that is attracting attention for its beautiful Japanese and Western-style confections, inspired by Japan's famous mountains.

Elegant Afternoon Cafe Experiences at GINZA SIX

This afternoon how about heading to an elegant cafe for a relaxing break?

Keeping that in mind, we now introduce two popular shops. NAKAMURA TOKICHI is a long-established shop in Kyoto's Uji area, with a 170-year-old history. Then there's MARNI CAFE, which embodies Marni's philosophy of creativity and playfulness.

Many travelers in Japan likely look forward to sampling authentic matcha green tea and also buying some to take home as a souvenir.

So for those people we recommend NAKAMURA TOKICHI on the GINZA SIX 4th Floor. NAKAMURA TOKICHI was founded in 1854 and is a long-standing tea merchant based in Kyoto's Uji area. As a leading merchant it has a history spanning some 170 years.

A meticulous attention to detail throughout the shop allows visitors to truly experience Japan's tea culture. For example, the floor is made of the same granite as the stone mill that's used to grind matcha tea leaves. Then the tables are finished with persimmon tanninーwhich is also used with tea-making tools―and traditional Japanese lacquer, among other techniques. All of these details have been thoughtfully designed.

The adjacent retail area has a wide selection of tea leaves and matcha products that are perfect for home use or as a gift.
