Things to do in Ginza Tokyo Japan 2025 / All-you-can-eat sushi restaurant / Japan Travel Guide

Things to do in Ginza, 2025 Edition! Hi! I’m Akanemaru, born and raised in Japan. This video is about Ginza, Tokyo. We’ll show you some of the newest shops that just opened,
rooftop spots perfect for a sightseeing break, and plenty of must-see places around the area. At the end of the video, we’ll introduce a recommended
all-you-can-eat premium sushi restaurant. We’ll also explain how to make a reservation
and place your order, so be sure to watch until the end! Now, let’s get started! There are various stations around Ginza, but the easiest access from Shibuya and Shinjuku
is Yurakucho Station. First up is Onigiri Kaori. It’s an onigiri specialty shop that opened in October 2024,
using Koshihikari rice grown in-house. If the onigiri you want isn’t in the display case, they’ll make it fresh after you order,
so you can enjoy it freshly made. The most recommended filling is salmon roe and salmon. Their onigiri are bigger than most other places,
so they’re really filling. The rich flavor of the salmon and the salty taste of the salmon roe
go perfectly together and taste so good. Lunchtime is busy, so we recommend going at 9 AM
when it opens. The next spot is Tokyo Midtown Hibiya. It’s a complex that opened in 2018 and includes restaurants,
cafes, a movie theater, and offices. One of the best spots in Tokyo Midtown Hibiya 
is the Park View Garden on the 6th floor. It’s located on the rooftop and you can enjoy beautiful views of Hibiya Park
and the Imperial Palace. There are lots of chairs and sofas, so it’s a perfect place to have lunch or take a break
while sightseeing. We’ll recommend 2 shops with great food to try
when you visit Tokyo Midtown Hibiya. First, there is Beurre Vérité on the 2nd basement floor. It’s a specialty shop for financiers that opened in April 2024. They bake them fresh in the store,
so you can enjoy them freshly baked. The most popular flavor is plain. They use fermented butter from France, so it has a nice aroma
and a sweet honey flavor that spreads in your mouth. The outside is crispy, and the inside is soft and really delicious. If you like sweet flavors,
the chocolate one is also recommended. It has a slight bitterness from the cocoa 
and just the right amount of sweetness. It goes perfectly with coffee or tea. Next is Suzukake, located on the 2nd basement floor. It’s a Japanese sweets shop from Hakata, Fukuoka,
with over 100 years of history. Their most popular item is the bite-sized dorayaki. Each dorayaki pancake is made by hand, and has a chewy texture with just the right amount of sweetness. It’s filled with red bean paste,
and you can taste the rich flavor of azuki beans. This dorayaki is a bit bigger, and it’s fluffy like a pancake. Inside, it’s filled with red bean paste made from kidney beans,
which has a mild sweetness. If you like mochi, we recommend the daifuku. It’s a traditional Japanese sweet made with mochi and beans. Inside is smooth red bean paste called Koshian. If you want to taste something Japanese,
you should give it a try! Next up is GODIVA Bakery, located about a minute’s walk
from the central entrance of Yurakucho Station. It’s a bakery run by GODIVA,
and there are only 2 locations in Japan. You used to need a numbered ticket to enter,
but now you can buy bread without one. Alright, we’ll introduce 3 recommended breads. First one is the most popular item, the chocolate cornet. Inside the brioche bread dough, there is chocolate custard cream
and a piece of dark chocolate. It has a subtle sweetness and elegant taste. If you like fluffy dough,
we recommend the Chocolate Cream Donut. The pleasant cocoa aroma of the chocolate cream
and the moist and fluffy dough are a perfect match. Curry bread is popular on social media. It’s baked with cocoa dough on top, so it has a nice aroma. The curry has just the right amount of spiciness. Try this bread that you can only taste here! Next to GODIVA Bakery is Hokkaido Dosanko Plaza. It’s a popular store
where you can buy food and snacks of Hokkaido. The most popular item at this store is the soft-serve ice cream,
which sells over 1,000 servings a day. Our recommendation is the soft-serve
made with Yuubari melon from Hokkaido. The sweetness of Hokkaido milk and the aroma of Yuubari melon spread in your mouth, making it incredibly delicious. Sanrio NISHIGINZA is located about a 5-minute walk 
from the central entrance of Yurakucho Station. It’s on the 2nd floor of the building. It reopened in March 2024. It has a larger sales floor area

so we recommend it. The next item is UNIQLO Ultra Light Down. UNIQLO Ultra Light Down is a light and portable down jacket. When you button it up, it turns into a V-neck,

You can enjoy exclusive menu items like dango and tempura. Let us briefly introduce 4 of them. First up is the sponge cake style omelet. It has just the right amount of sweetness,
and the fluffy texture is nice. Next is the dango. Freshly grilled dango topped with matcha paste. It has a mild sweetness and a nice aroma of matcha. Next is the 3-piece sushi set.

so it has a rich flavor and is delicious. The last item is the tempura set. It includes shrimp, conger eel, and maitake mushrooms,
making it luxurious. The conger eel has just the right amount of fat and is moist. Kura Sushi is located all over Japan, but be sure to try the menu items
that are only available at the Ginza store! On the 6th floor, which is located below Kura Sushi,
you’ll find DAISO Ginza. DAISO offers products priced from 100 yen, where you can purchase convenient items
and food at affordable prices. For your information,
there are 2 other DAISO brand stores on this floor. Standard Products is a slightly premium brand that focuses on usability and quality,
using mainly Japanese materials. THREEPPY is a brand that focuses on women and offers a wide variety of cute products
that are popular on social media. First, we’ll briefly introduce 7 products of DAISO. First up is the egg-hole puncher. By piercing the bottom of an egg with a needle,
air can enter inside the shell when boiled. This makes it easy to peel the shell off. Next up is the Boiling Container for Pasta. After putting pasta and water into the container,
heat it in the microwave. There are holes in the container, so it’s easy to drain water. You can easily boil pasta without using a pot. The next item is something
that can make baking bread even more delicious. Once you fill the dish about halfway with water,
put it in the toaster oven along with the bread. By putting water in the container
and baking it in the toaster oven, the steam comes out,
making the outside crispy and the inside moist and fluffy. You can enjoy the texture as if you were eating
freshly baked bread right out of the oven in a store. Next up is an aluminum ice cream spoon. Aluminum spoons conduct heat from your hand more easily, allowing you to easily melt and eat even hard-frozen ice cream. Next up is silicone stretch wrap. It’s made of silicone,
so it’s non-slip and adheres tightly to containers, preventing food from drying out. You can also use it to open tight lids on jar containers. You can use it repeatedly because it’s washable with detergent. A folding fan makes a great souvenir. The folding fans from DAISO are affordable,
but they are made of bamboo and sturdy. There are various designs available,
so be sure to find your favorite one! Next up is chopsticks. The printed Japanese-style patterns are stylish. There are also various other designs available, 
including chopsticks for children. Next, we’ll briefly introduce 2 items from Standard Products. First up is Tenugui. Tenugui is a traditional Japanese cloth product,
and it’s thin but highly absorbent, making it a convenient item. There are a variety of patterns available,
so it’s recommended as a souvenir of Japan. Next up is the Imabari Towel. This towel is highly absorbent, and soft to the touch. Imabari Towel is typically expensive, but at Standard Products, you can buy it at an affordable price compared to other stores. Next, let’s briefly introduce 4 popular items from THREEPPY. First up is the Cup Warmer. Just plug in the USB cable and turn on the switch
to keep the temperature of your hot drinks. Next is a silicon potholder. It comes in a set of 2,
so you can hold pots and griddles firmly with both hands. Next up is the Rice Ball Maker. After putting in the rice, put the lid on it
and press down firmly with both hands from the top. It’s convenient to be able to make a lot of onigiri at once. The last item is a tray for carrying dishes. The tray has a non-slip surface,
so you can carry dishes without them slipping off. It’s not just functional, but also stylish, which is great. On the 5th floor, which is located below DAISO, you’ll find GU. It’s a fast fashion brand established by UNIQLO in 2006. Currently, there are over 400 stores in Japan. GU offers trendy fashion items, and many people in their teens to thirties often 
go to GU rather than UNIQLO. GU has a wide variety of items
and is even more affordable than UNIQLO. Before shopping at UNIQLO, it’s a good idea to check out GU. On the 1st through 4th floors, there is UNIQLO. It’s a bit smaller compared to the UNIQLO GINZA
we mentioned earlier, but there are plenty of products. The OK Ginza store is located on the basement 1
and basement 2 floors. It’s a supermarket that opened in October 2023. It’s an incredibly popular store with over 140 locations,
mainly in Tokyo. We’ll briefly introduce each floor. On the 1st basement floor, there are fresh vegetables,
meat, and other food items. There is also cup noodles, instant ramen,
and household goods. The liquor section is also on this floor. The 2nd basement floor is dedicated to food items
such as frozen foods and bread. There is a wide variety of snacks. The most popular place on this floor is the bento section. This supermarket is known for its low prices on products. Let’s compare it to 7-Eleven. The price of 7-Eleven’s Tuna Mayonnaise Onigiri is 151 yen. It’s delicious with plenty of tuna mayonnaise inside. The OK onigiri is 54 yen. It’s about 1/3 of the price at 7-Eleven. The filling is a bit more at 7-Eleven,
but it has a satisfying amount. The highly recommended onigiri at OK is the beef short ribs. The beef short ribs have just the right amount of fat
and are seasoned with a rich flavor, making them delicious. You can buy cup ramen for 91 yen. The quantity is the same as other cup noodles,
and there are plenty of ingredients. Despite the low price, the noodles are tasty. The most popular bento at OK is the katsu-don. The price is 322 yen. The fluffy texture of the egg and the sweetness of the onions
enhances the flavor of the cutlet. The broth soaks into the rice, making it delicious. Next, we’ll briefly introduce 5 items
that can only be purchased at the OK Ginza store. First up is the pizza made with truffle sauce. It’s topped with 4 types of mushrooms and bacon,
and it’s offered at an affordable price. The aroma of truffle fills your mouth. Next up is the Roast beef bowl. It uses a rare cut of beef that yields
only about 5 pounds per cow. It has a moist and smooth texture. It’s like an authentic roast beef bowl
that you’d have at a high-end restaurant. The next one is the seafood bowl. Despite being topped with tuna, shrimp, sea bream, salmon,
yellowtail, and conger eel, the price is incredibly low. If you were to have a similar seafood bowl in Tsukiji,
it would cost about three times as much. Next is a Ten-don topped with shrimp tempura. The shrimp is large and satisfying to eat. The sweet sauce soaks into the rice and it’s delicious! The last one is a Wagyu sukiyaki bento. It’s made with the highest grade A5 Wagyu. The meat has marbling and it melts in your mouth. When you have it with eggs, you can enjoy a smooth texture,
making it even more delicious. The meat has a rich flavor, so it’s perfect with rice. Alright, let’s move on to the next place. Next up is Ginza Mitsukoshi. Ginza Mitsukoshi is a luxury department store. One of the recommended places is the ART AQUARIUM
on the 8th floor. The same-day tickets are 2,700 yen,
which are sold at the ticket vending machine on the 9th floor. If you purchase tickets from the official website,
you’ll get a 200 yen discount. The ART AQUARIUM is a place where beautiful goldfish, lighting, music, and projection technology
come together to create a fantastical space. The combination of Japanese tradition and modern art
creates an extraordinary atmosphere. You can enjoy it every time
because the exhibition theme changes with each season. The souvenir shop sells many items that are very Japanese. You can go outside from the 9th floor, where the ticket vending machine for ART AQUARIUM

that you wouldn’t expect on a rooftop. You can enjoy a panoramic view of Ginza. It’s a recommended spot where you can have a meal
and take a break. Next, we’ll briefly introduce 10 takeout foods you should try
when you come to Ginza. First up is Age.3 GINZA. It’s a deep-fried sandwich specialty shop
that opened in December 2023. It’s located about a 10-minute walk from Yurakucho Station. There are various types available, but this time 
we’ll introduce the top 2 popular menu items. First, the most popular one is the whipped cream. You can buy it for 100 yen, with a limit of one per person.

There are various types of bread available,
and it’s so popular that there is always a line. This time, we’ll introduce the most popular bread,
Anko & Butter. The dough is made with soft French bread dough. Inside, there is a mildly sweet red bean paste, 
along with whipped butter from Hokkaido. The saltiness of the butter
enhances the flavor of the red bean paste, making it delicious. Next, we’ll introduce a shop inside 
EXITMELSA, a shopping complex. It’s KANADAYA. It’s a specialty shop for Fruits Daifuku that opened in 2022. There are 6 varieties of daifuku,
but this time we chose the Mont Blanc-style daifuku with chestnut paste and chestnuts on top. Inside the mochi, there is white bean paste and cream cheese,
giving it a smooth texture. The rich flavor of chestnut spreads in your mouth. Next is Ginza Tsuboyaki-imo. It’s a specialty shop for sweet potato desserts
that opened in 2018. The sweet potatoes are slowly baked in a pot
with charcoal for 3 hours, enhancing their sweetness even more. The bite-sized sweet potatoes are popular. The skin is crispy,

frequented by celebrities and well-known personalities. The most popular item is a set that includes 2 types: one with sansho pepper and the other with sesame.

with its main store located in Shinsekai, Osaka. Let us introduce the freshly made beef cutlet sandwich. The sauce, made by simmering tomatoes, apples,
and other ingredients for a week, is fruity and sweet. The beef cutlet uses tenderloin meat,
making it moist and tender. The bread is toasted, giving it a crispy texture. Next up is Ginza Happo, a popular spot on social media
with an all-you-can-eat buffet. First, we’ll briefly introduce the all-you-can-eat menu. There are over 150 dishes on the buffet,
mainly seafood dishes. You’ll find crab, sashimi, grilled seafood, 
yakiniku, sushi, Chinese cuisine, salads, desserts, and more. First up is the seafood. King crabs and snow crabs are served like mountains. The selection changes slightly depending on the day. At other all-you-can-eat restaurants, 
sashimi slices are often thinly cut, but at this place, they’re sliced thick, 
so they’re more satisfying to eat. There are some all-you-can-eat restaurants
that offer snow crab, but it’s rare to find king crab also available for all-you-can-eat. Snow crab is filled with crab meat. It has a sweet and melt-in-your-mouth texture. King crab is thick and satisfying to eat. There are many types of shellfish such as scallops,
oysters, clams, turban shells, and abalones, which can be grilled and eaten. Clams are plump and have just the right amount of saltiness. Let’s top the scallop with butter
and drizzle some soy sauce on it. It’s large in size and has a sweetness. Next, let’s introduce the meats. There is a wide variety of meats, including Wagyu,
pork, and chicken. We highly recommend trying the Wagyu short rib,
Wagyu sirloin, Wagyu misuji, and beef tongue. Wagyu Misuji is soft and tender. Wagyu short rib melts in your mouth. Wagyu Sirloin is marbled and juicy. Next is sushi. You can enjoy authentic sushi handcrafted by chefs. The menu varies depending on the day. The sea bream is topped with caviar, making it luxurious. The eel goes well with the sweet sauce. The hand-rolled tuna sushi has crispy seaweed,
giving it a nice texture. Now, we’ll explain how to get there

where the Don Quijote Ginza store is located. The nearest station is Shimbashi Station. It’s about a 7-minute walk from the Ginza entrance. It’s about an 18-minute walk from Yurakucho Station. If there are seats available,
you can go without making a reservation, but it’s better to book in advance because it can get crowded. However, the reservation page on the official website
only supports Japanese, and you can’t make a reservation without entering
a Japanese phone number. So, it’s recommended to make a reservation 
through a website called ‘Tabelog.’ It’s available in English
and accepts international phone numbers.  Previously, the all-you-can-eat price was 9,800 yen
on weekdays and 12,000 yen on weekends, but now it’s 12,000 yen for both weekdays and weekends.  The prices might change again, so please check on the official website

where you can enjoy drinks and light snacks. There is a wide variety of drinks, including apple juice
and white peach-flavored apple vinegar. The hot coffee is a blend of 4 different beans. It has a nice aroma and tastes so good. There are also a few light snacks available. The types of food seem to vary by day,
but this time there were pancakes, muffins, and crackers. There were 3 types of honey to choose from for the pancakes. The egg and soy milk muffin
has just the right amount of sweetness. The banana muffin has almonds, which give it a nice texture. This is a snack called Kaminari-okoshi, which is made with rice. It has a crispy texture and just the right amount of sweetness. Happy Hour is from 5 PM to 7 PM. You can enjoy wine, sparkling wine,
and the hotel’s original cocktails for free. It’s all-you-can-drink during this time. The sparkling wine is a bit dry,
but it has a fruity aroma and tastes great. The hotel’s original cocktail is made with yogurt liqueur
mixed with peach syrup, apple juice, and more. It tastes like a sweet juice, so it’s easy to drink. There were mixed nuts,
which weren’t available during the afternoon service. It goes perfectly with the sparkling wine. This hotel doesn’t offer dinner, so we’ll introduce a few recommended restaurants
near Tokyo Station and in Ginza. First up is a restaurant located in the Daimaru department store, which is directly connected to Tokyo Station. We recommend Chiso Zanmai, which is on the 12th floor. It’s a buffet-style restaurant
where you can enjoy over 60 different dishes. Prices start at 2,990 yen, and for an additional 4,400 yen,
you can enjoy all-you-can-eat snow crab. We also recommend getting takeout from a shop
located on the basement floor of Daimaru. A highly recommended shop is Takimoto. You can enjoy delicious seafood bowls at affordable prices. There are also restaurants in Tokyo Midtown Yaesu,
right in front of Tokyo Station. One of them is an izakaya called Mekiki-no-Ginji. You can enjoy seafood dishes and drinks at affordable prices. If you love ramen, you should visit Tokyo Ramen Street
on the basement floor of Tokyo Station. The most popular shop is Rokurinsha, 
which always has long lines. Their Tsukemen have a rich and flavorful soup
that’s absolutely delicious. Their ramen is also great, so be sure to try both! This hotel doesn’t offer dinner,
but a free late-night meal is available from 8 PM to 10 PM. You can enjoy Ochazuke,
a dish of Japanese broth poured over rice. You can add your choice of toppings here,
so we’ll introduce 3 recommended combinations. This one is topped with salmon,
arare rice crackers, and wasabi. The savory flavor of the salmon
and the sweetness of the dashi soak into the rice, making it delicious. The crispy texture of the arare rice crackers
and the spiciness of the wasabi enhance the flavor. This one is topped with chicken cartilage seasoned with plum. The mild tartness of the plum
and the aroma of the seaweed give it an elegant flavor. This one is topped with plenty of mushrooms. The texture of the mushrooms adds a nice accent. You can get refills of the Ochazuke, so give it a try! In this lounge, coffee and smoothies are offered for free
from 6 AM to 7 AM. The smoothie is made with a mix of 10 types of vegetables
and fruits. It has a subtle bitterness but is sweet and easy to drink. You can also add a breakfast buffet for an additional charge.  If you don’t include breakfast,
there is a FamilyMart on the 1st floor of the hotel, so you can buy something to eat. The rice balls from FamilyMart are very tasty,
so it’s recommended to try them for breakfast. By the way, there is also a 7-Eleven
about a one-minute walk from the hotel. In addition to rice balls, 7-Eleven offers a wide variety of bread 
and sweets, so it’s very convenient. There is also a MINISTOP a 2-minute walk from the hotel.  The soft-serve ice cream is really good,
so be sure to give it a try. The HALOHALO, a shaved ice dessert that is only available 
in the summer, is also highly recommended. Tsukiji is about a 20-minute walk from the hotel,
so it’s a good idea to have breakfast there. It’s great to have fresh seafood in the morning. You can add a breakfast for an additional charge
of about 2,500 yen. There are about 50 different dishes at the breakfast buffet. You’ll also find fresh vegetables and freshly baked breads. The frittata has a nice texture from the beans. The rice with conger eel has a nice, chewy texture. The chicken with melted cheese
has just the right amount of saltiness. The eggs and asari clams are seasoned with soy sauce
and are tasty. The potatoes have a sweet, chestnut-like flavor. The soba noodles are cold and have a refreshing taste. The curry isn’t spicy, and it has plenty of pork and beans. For dessert, there were chocolate cake and warabi mochi. Both were delicious. The variety of dishes is great, and everything is delicious,
making it very satisfying. If you include breakfast, you can enjoy sparkling wine for free,
which is only available on weekends and holidays. You’ll be able to enjoy a luxurious start to your day. By the way, the cost for the twin room we stayed in
was 28,152 yen for 2 adults. This price includes breakfast as well. Sometimes, booking through hotel comparison sites
can be cheaper than booking directly on the hotel’s official website. But most of the time, booking directly through 
the hotel’s official website is cheaper. This time, we booked through the official site. The link to the hotel’s official website is in the description box,
so check it out. The last place is an all-you-can-eat sushi restaurant,
our top recommendation in the Ginza area. The restaurant is on the 2nd floor
of the Nishi Ginza Department Store, right next to the Sanrio Nishi Ginza store we mentioned earlier. This is Hina Sushi Nishi Ginza. It’s a very popular sushi restaurant with 5 locations
around Tokyo, including Shinjuku and Ueno. It opens at 11 AM on weekends and at 11:30 AM on weekdays. The restaurant closes around 10 or 11 PM,
so it’s great that you can still enjoy sushi late at night. Lunchtime gets busy, so if you want to avoid the crowd,
it’s better to go around 3 PM. It’s spacious with about 100 seats. The interior is bright and clean,
and you can feel a Japanese atmosphere. Even from the tables, you can see the chefs making sushi. The restaurant offers lunch and dinner sets, but their most popular option is the all-you-can-eat course. There are a few rules for the all-you-can-eat course,
so we’ll explain them in detail. The all-you-can-eat course lasts 120 minutes,
with last orders taken 30 minutes before the end. Prices vary for men, women, and children. Green tea and water are free,
but soft drinks and alcohol are for a fee. You can order drinks individually,
or choose the all-you-can-drink option. You can choose your sushi from this menu. Each table can order up to 20 pieces of sushi at a time. When you order, just write the quantity on this sheet. If you don’t want wasabi, circle this box. Once your sushi arrives, you can place your next order,
so it’s a good idea to fill out the order sheet in advance. In the all-you-can-eat course, there are 2 items 
that are limited to one serving per person. They are the Limited One Piece sushi and the chawanmushi. The Limited One Piece sushi changes monthly,
and when we visited, it was bluefin fatty tuna. Soy sauce and salt are both available,
so feel free to try whichever you like. The bluefin fatty tuna was fatty and melted in my mouth,
making it absolutely delicious! The chawanmushi has a smooth texture,
and the aroma of dashi and a subtle sweetness fill your mouth. These 2 items are automatically served
when you order the all-you-can-eat course. When you want miso soup or pickled ginger,
ask the staff directly instead of writing it on the order sheet. The miso soup contains shijimi clams, but they’re mainly used to make the broth,
so it’s okay if you don’t eat the meat. The ingredients in the miso soup change regularly. You can also get free refills on these 2 items. If you order thin rolls,
there is one thing you should keep in mind. When you order one, it comes as a whole roll cut into 6 pieces. It’s more food than regular sushi,
so we recommend ordering one to share. If you leave food leftovers, there will be an extra charge,
so only order what you can finish. Besides the menu here,
there are also limited-time sushi options. When we visited, they had 6 kinds,
including low-fat bonito and raw whitebait. Now, we’ll briefly introduce 20 highly recommended pieces
and their flavors. Medium fatty tuna melts in your mouth. Lean tuna has a rich flavor. Marinated tuna has just the right amount of saltiness,
so you can enjoy it without any extra sauce. Fatty salmon is rich and incredibly delicious. Young yellowtail is rich and flavorful. Sea bream has a nice plump texture and an elegant taste. The boiled scallops go perfectly with the sweet sauce. The eel is fatty and melts in your mouth. The conger eel is fluffy and really delicious. The seared tuna has a savory aroma and is more flavorful. The fat in the seared salmon enhances its sweetness. The egg sushi has an elegant flavor of broth,
and the seaweed adds a nice touch. The whelk has a crunchy texture that’s really addictive. Every time you bite into the squid, 
its sweetness fills your mouth. The crab meat is fluffy and very delicious. Sweet shrimp has sweetness and a rich flavor. Negitoro has a smooth texture and it’s irresistible! The sea urchin has a rich flavor
and is so fresh that it has no fishy smell. The salmon roe is perfectly seasoned, 
and that popping texture is amazing! It’s such a luxury to enjoy all-you-can-eat sushi this delicious! By the way, credit cards are accepted for payment. There is a link to the reservation site in the description box. The staff are friendly, and this place is highly recommended,
so definitely give it a try!
