What to do and see in Ginza / Tokyo Nihonbashi, Kanto: The Best Gift & Specialty Shops

May 21, 2021 Viva Honore

Tradition collides with pop culture in Tokyo, where you can reverently wander ancient temples before rocking out at a karaoke bar. Wake up before the sun to catch the lively fish auction at the Tsukiji Market, then refresh with a walk beneath the cherry blossom trees that line the Sumida River. Spend some time in the beautiful East Gardens of the Imperial Palace, then brush up on your Japanese history at the Edo-Tokyo Museum. Don’t forget to eat as much sushi, udon noodles, and wagashi (Japanese sweets) as your belly can handle.

Ginza Itoya Hontren

Ginza Itoya has been a Tokyo favorite for more than 100 years. Recently renovated, the store still stocks a beautiful range of stationery, including greeting cards, letter paper, and wrapping paper.

Not for the usual tourist, this place is going to intrigue you and worse, if you are a stationery geek, empty your pockets in no time. We picked out so many unique items which are made in Japan and would make such perfect gifts rather than the run-of-the-mill souvenirs at airports and tourist traps. floor after floor of unique stationery.

Ippodo Tea Tokyo Marunouchi

Reviewed By ChristineStuttgart - Stuttgart, Germany

One of the things we were most looking forward in Japan was to drink a lot of great green tea. But it is not as easy as we thought. That is why we were super happy to find this o,ace. We could try the tea before we bought it. Every tea was really extremely "oishi". Also the people working in the shop are very friendly and helped us and answered all our questions.
