Ginza Station
There are three lines, the Ginza Line, Marunouchi Line, and Hibiya Line. On the Ginza Line and Hibiya Line in-car broadcasts, the name of the sub-station will be “Matsuya / Mitsukoshimae”. The station numbers are Ginza Line “G 09”, Marunouchi Line “M 16”, Hibiya Line “H 09”.
The meeting place is a classic, but it’s in front of the lion statue in Ginza Mitsukoshi.
The lion statue is enshrined at the entrance of the Mitsukoshi department store at the Ginza 4-chome intersection.

Kabukiza Theater (60 minutes)
Kabuki-za is known as a representative Kabuki theater in both name and reality to this day. It has been rebuilt four times and the current one is the fifth generation. In February 2013, the 5th Kabukiza Theater was completed.
The “Ichimakumi-seat” on the 4th floor of Kabuki-za is a seat that can be purchased for each act. You can see it at a great deal, with prices ranging from 800 yen to 2500 yen.
“Ichimaku-mi-seat” is a same-day ticket only and cannot be reserved. The number of seats is only about 90 for chairs and about 60 for standing, so in the case of popular performances, it may fill up early.
You can buy souvenirs at the shop on the first floor without looking at Kabuki. There are souvenirs from Kabuki-za and products related to the stage of the performance.
It is a Kabuki face pack. Also available for children.
There is also a souvenir shop in the “Kobikicho Square” in the basement of Kabukiza.
Nowadays, there are many shops selling square “Kintsuba”. Originally, “Kintsuba” is a sweet made in the image of a sword cross. So, it seems that it originally had a round shape like this.
Tsukiji Outer Market (60 minutes)
It is a restaurant district that straddles Tsukiji 4-chome and 6-chome, Chuo-ku, Tokyo. There are about 400 restaurants.
Since many foreign customers visit, the shop has a menu for tourists. The Tsukiji Market will move to Toyosu, but this outside market will not move.
In the outside market, there are many shops where you can eat tuna bowls and seafood bowls for less than 1000 yen.
When it comes to a slightly luxurious seafood bowl, it costs around 2000 yen.
Donburi with sea urchin will cost more than 3000 yen.
