BEST 10 MUST VISIT SPOTS IN GINZA, TOKYO｜Japan Ultimate Guide 2025

BEST 10 MUST VISIT SPOTS IN GINZA, TOKYO｜Japan Ultimate Guide 2025

The first spot I’d like to introduce is
Blue Bottle Coffee in Ginza I really wanted to visit here for a long time! It’s located on the B2 floor of GINZA SIX. I’ve been to GINZA SIX so many times, but this is actually my first time checking out this spot! Blue Bottle Coffee started in California and is sometimes called “the Apple of the coffee world.” It’s already made a name for itself in Japan too, with locations all over Tokyo! It’s not as mainstream as Starbucks here, but it’s really popular among people who care about quality. They’re all about light-roast specialty coffee, and everything’s hand-dripped, one cup at a time. Even though it’s underground, the Ginza shop feels surprisingly bright and open! Almost makes you forget I’m in a basement floor… I went in the morning, and the vibe was just perfect. The cake was way more moist than I expected… seriously good. Even though it’s just around noon, it’s already packed with people. That moving clothes display
moves super quirky. Funny. This flagship store is designed around the concept of “everything about LifeWear in one place.” It’s not just another Ginza store—it’s named Tokyo on purpose, to represent the city The entire building, from the first floor all the way up to the twelfth, is a shopping space. From outside,
you’ll see mannequins spinning around in the display windows. It’s kind of mesmerizing. And at night, the whole building lights up! It’s really worth checking out. As a whole and connect with both local and international shoppers. I used to think the name was just to set it apart from the other Ginza UNIQLO, but turns out there’s a deeper meaning behind it. A sushi restaurant where you can enjoy
all you can eat. Sushi. This place is well known for its sushi buffet and has six locations
across Tokyo and Yokohama, including Shinjuku and Ikebukuro. The price for their premium
all you can eat sushi is ¥4,939, smaller 31.56 for men and ¥4,609 smaller 29.45 for women, with a 120 minute time limit. You can order up to 20 pieces per round, and as soon as your plate arrives, you can place your next order. Just a heads up, there’s a ¥200 charge
for each uneaten piece, so it’s best to order what you can finish to start. They serve ultra salmon
roll and chuan mushi, which can only be ordered once per person. The menu also features a seasonal selection of premium items. This time I got to try Fresh Pacific. Sorry steamed oysters,
seared Spanish mackerel, shark fin gun kan, sakura shrimp gun kan, and even crab steaks. The variety is so impressive that it feels almost too luxurious for an all
you can eat deal. For my second round, I focused on lighter options
like Flounder and Goya and other white fish, as well as unagi and whelk for a refreshing change. I think the order you eat sushi matters. So I started with tuna and salmon. With so many options. It’s tempting to try items
you wouldn’t normally order, but honestly, the lean tuna stood out. It was incredibly flavorful. All the rice portions were just right,
making it easy to enjoy
a lot of sushi without feeling too full. I came to Nihonbashi to check out matcha café. They make traditional Japanese sweets
right in front of you. The café is inside COREDO Muromachi, a complex that blends modern stores with a traditional Japanese vibe.
It feels totally different from Ginza more about history and culture
than fashion and luxury. The place I was looking for
Tsuruya Yoshinobu Tokyo Mise! They do live demonstrations of Japanese namagashi, those delicate seasonal sweets! And there’s a tea lounge where I can enjoy them fresh. I didn’t book in advance
or anything, just decided to wing it. Luckily, there was a spot open! Slip into the next session started in 5 minutes. A skilled wagashi artisan started shaping
a beautiful sakura sweet. It felt like watching a chef at a sushi counter!
Super immersive. He even turned toward me a few times
to show the process…! The sweet looked like a little piece of art. I had a nice little chat with the artisan, too. Even on my own, I had a great time. Afterward, I enjoyed the fresh sweet
with a cup of matcha. And since it’s spring, the cherry blossoms
in Nihonbashi just gorgeous. Recommend for a stroll after tea! This spot is tucked away on the third basement
level of Ginza Sony Park. Ginza is known for having
just about every type of cuisine you can think of,
and this place is no exception. The chef here has an impressive
background—at just 28, he was chosen as the head chef
of a historic French restaurant that had been around for over a century. He also won the Best Bistro Award from one of the most well-known
restaurant guides in the U.S. The interior has a unique setup with an open kitchen at the center,
allowing guests to watch the chef work from all angles. Seeing him cook with such precision
adds to the experience. One of the most eye-catching features
is the blue Sony light near the entrance. Many Sony fans stop to take photos here before leaving. The restaurant serves plates
with two small-sized dishes, roughly a quarter of a full serving. The menu focuses on Western cuisine,
changing seasonally with about ten different options
available at any time. I went with the “Katsu-Katsu
Crossing” plate, priced at ¥1,650/$11.08. It comes with a half-serving of spice curry and a mini katsu sandwich,
beautifully plated. The curry is made with four types of miso, creating layers of flavor
that shift with every bite. The portion is smaller than a regular
curry dish, making every bite feel more intentional. The katsu sandwich is slow-cooked
at a low temperature, keeping the meat tender
while maintaining a light, crispy coating. The standout for me was the mustard sauce— it added an unexpected but perfect touch. Another unique feature here is the placemats, which include stories about each dish. Reading them while eating adds an extra layer of enjoyment. The restaurant is still new, but with its great location
and distinctive approach, it’ll be interesting to see how it becomes
part of Ginza’s dining scene. This place serves incredible tonkatsu, even recognized by the Michelin Guide. They use premium Kagoshima black pork, known for its juicy
and tender cuts of roast and fillet. The restaurant is conveniently located
within walking distance from Ginza, a 4-minute walk from Shimbashi Station. It’s a perfect spot to visit after exploring Ginza’s shops and attractions. Lunch is served from Wednesday
to Saturday, with four time slots available. Reservations can be made online,
and while walk-ins are possible if there’s space, booking ahead
is highly recommended to secure your spot. The restaurant is tucked away in the basement
of a nondescript building in Shimbashi, giving it a hidden gem vibe. Inside, it’s cozy, with just three counter seats and two tables for four. The intimate setting
creates a calm atmosphere where you can even hear
the sound of tonkatsu being fried, an experience
that builds anticipation for your meal. This spot has earned
a place in the “Top 100 Tonkatsu Restaurants 2024” and Michelin’s Bib Gourmand selection. Their commitment to quality
is evident in their use of fresh, unfrozen Kagoshima black pork. I tried the “Kurobuta Roast
& Fillet Cutlet Set” for 1,900 yen/$12.20! The meal begins with pickles, pork
soup, and rice, followed
by the beautifully plated tonkatsu. For the roast,
the recommended way to enjoy it is with a sprinkle of salt or a touch of mustard
and their sweet tonkatsu sauce. The fillet is unbelievably tender,
packed with flavor, and melts in the mouth with every bite. Cabbage and rice
come with one free refill. While the restaurant attracts a mix of solo diners and foreign tourists,
it remains a hidden spot for enjoying high-quality tonkatsu at a surprisingly reasonable price. The lighter flavor profile makes it ideal even for those new to Japanese tonkatsu. Kabukiza Theatre in Ginza is the best place
to experience kabuki, a traditional Japanese performing art with over 400 years of history. Access is easy—Kabukiza is directly connected
to Higashi-Ginza Station! The current building, completed in 2013, maintains its classic Edo-style facade while incorporating modern facilities. For first-time visitors, full performances can be long, but single-act tickets are available, making it easy
to enjoy a short segment of the show. Inside, the atmosphere feels like stepping back in time,
with elaborate costumes, dramatic makeup, and dynamic stage effects
that make kabuki unique. Hidden inside Kabukiza is a peaceful Japanese tea café that offers
a true taste of traditional Japan. This is Juju-dō Ginza Kabukiza Store, located on the fifth floor
of Kabukiza Tower. It’s run by Maruyama Nori, a long-established company
founded in 1854, known for its high-quality
seaweed and deep connection to Japanese tea culture. The café was created with the philosophy of “spreading the beauty of Japanese tea to the world through the spirit of chazen” ,
the harmony of tea and Zen. It has locations in Tsukiji, Tokyo,
and even Paris, making it a globally recognized tea house. The interior design was crafted by Kengo Kuma, a world famous architect, and features
an impressive space surrounded by 3000 bamboo poles, creating the feeling
of being in a tranquil bamboo forest. Even though it’s indoors, the atmosphere makes it feel like you’re outside,
breathing in fresh air. Since it’s
still early on a weekday morning, the café is quiet,
with only a couple of other guests. The fifth floor
isn’t directly accessible by escalator, so it seems like many tourists don’t even realize this hidden gem exists. The seating options include terrace seats overlooking the Kabukiza
rooftop garden, counter seats, and table seating, providing a relaxing escape from the city’s noise. The menu is packed with ways to experience the richness of Japanese tea. Their matcha parfait is made with premium Shizuoka matcha, offering a deep, rich flavor. The selection of tea is impressive,
from roasted hōjicha to refreshing sencha, and it’s hard to decide what to order. This time, a cold sencha and a matcha financier seemed like the perfect combination. One of the best parts of the experience is getting to
brew the tea myself. The teapot comes with hot water, and you pour just the right amount into your cup. After letting the tea steep for about 10 seconds,
it’s finally ready to enjoy. There’s something special about taking the time to prepare and appreciate each sip.
Unlike other drinks, tea makes you want to slow down and savor the moment—and that’s exactly
what makes it so enjoyable. I stepped outside to check out the rooftop garden next to the café. Some people are sitting down,
enjoying their bento lunches, while others are just relaxing. The Wako Clock Tower really feels like
the face of Ginza. It blends into the cityscape, but the presence is so strong you can’t miss it. It even showed up in the original 
Godzilla movie from 1954 There’s a scene where it gets destroyed.
That’s how iconic it is. The building was completed in 1932 and follows a Neo-Renaissance style. The clock face is huge 2.4 meters across. And every hour, you can hear the Westminster chimes echo through the area! It’s especially beautiful at night. The way it lights up is just stunning. Even if you’re feeling drained from the crowds, one look and you’ll feel totally refreshed. Another hidden night view spot is hidden gem.
So let me show you! The rooftop garden at GINZA SIX is hands down
one of my favorite spots! Even though it’s right in the middle of the city. It feels super calm and wide open, like a hidden escape from the busy streets below. And it’s totally free to enter, which is awesome. Around lunchtime, you’ll see office workers up here having their bento, but at night, the vibe shifts completely. You get this amazing panoramic view of Ginza with Wako’s clock tower, Chuo-dori, and even
Tokyo Tower in the distance. If you’re in Ginza for shopping or food, I really recommend taking a break up here. It’s the kind of spot that makes you want to slow down for a bit and just take it all in. That was a little tour around Ginza! Did you like it? And Ginza’s another point is just easy to reach. You can walk from Tokyo Station
on the Marunouchi Line, or about 10 minutes from Shibuya on the Ginza Line. If you’re planning to explore Tokyo, it’s a
good place to add to your list. And if you have a time, please get our free guide book from below! See you in the next video!
