One may spend hours in the bookstore. It has books, but also novelty items. It is possible to spend an entire day with a family even if they have different interests."},{"type":"img","content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FtJ1PaYxKwORBcI5iJRKc%2F66.jpg?alt=media&token=38621a4d-d0bf-430b-b379-e491d7a8a85e"},{"type":"link","content":"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4hGsrcRIrmE"}]},{"address":"Kabuki-za Theatre","location":{"longitudeDelta":0.10218818160659443,"latitudeDelta":0.09219986310369421,"latitude":35.66942451139827,"longitude":139.76776869999998},"media":[{"type":"text","content":"Kabuki-za is to my understanding the most valued Kabuki theatre in Japan. The traditional art of kabuki is something unique and, of course, best appreciated by watching a play. The tickets can be quite pricey, shows full booked and naturally only in Japanese, but there is a solution for both problems: single act tickets. They are reasonably priced available only at the day of the show and limit the time of your experience so it does not get too exhausting."},{"type":"img","content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FtJ1PaYxKwORBcI5iJRKc%2F5.jpg?alt=media&token=b5d6debc-e8bb-4f00-80ab-2b8e73ab75ff"},{"type":"text","content":"For single act tickets check the Kabuki-za website: you should be waiting in line at the right time and the rules are very strict. The box office for these tickets is outside, on the left side of the main entrance. We managed to get our tickets for 1000 yen (for about an half an hour act) and had time for a cup of noodles before the show. The second part: you have to be there well in time (see the instructions, again). there is a separate entrance next to the box office, where you will find an elevator. This takes you to the highest floor, were you are supposed to find your place in a queue. When the time is right, patrons are allowed to enter. There is a limited number of seats with first come first served principle. Luckily, this show was not too crowded and we got our seats easily."},{"type":"img","content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FtJ1PaYxKwORBcI5iJRKc%2F55.jpg?alt=media&token=5dff1bd2-15eb-4258-8c46-a033eb71d882"},{"type":"link","content":"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=unUAZZ94NCc"}]},{"address":"Mitsukoshi Ginza","location":{"longitudeDelta":0.10218818160659443,"latitudeDelta":0.09219986310369421,"latitude":35.67107456139899,"longitude":139.76588529999998},"media":[{"type":"text","content":"One of the Best stores in Ginza area\nYou will - definitely - find all your requirements. Most of the brands are there. Also Japanese products are so lovely. Tax refund will be given back in the department itself, before you leave. Staff is well experienced. Spending lots of money is guaranteed !!! the store is very near to the train station."},{"type":"img","content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FtJ1PaYxKwORBcI5iJRKc%2F1.png?alt=media&token=830ba16c-2d0f-41b7-a1dd-5fabab3ada3f"},{"type":"text","content":"The variety of food sold in this department store is amazing! The prices were very reasonable. Some stalls even let us try some of their food first.

We came across this showroom and the cars are amazing. Worth a visit if passing."},{"type":"img","content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FtJ1PaYxKwORBcI5iJRKc%2F22.jpg?alt=media&token=553ccdb2-ceac-4dc7-8421-6c08cf4665a3"},{"type":"text","content":"For Nissan owners and car enthusiasts this place is a must, for others good place to visit, if you walk by like we did.\nCars look really interesting and there is Sony shop on upper floors."},{"type":"link","content":"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6kqsSPVxSY0"}]},{"address":"Wako ( SEIKO House Ginza )","location":{"longitudeDelta":0.10218818160659443,"latitudeDelta":0.09219986310369421,"latitude":35.67154261139921,"longitude":139.76498834999998},"media":[{"type":"text","content":"Solo\nThe Wako department store is a truly iconic building with a string history. Located at the main intersection in Ginza and directly opposite the Mitsukoshi department store the Wako building is a truly beautiful architectural structure especially with it's famous Seiko clock on it's roof top.\n"},{"type":"img","content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FtJ1PaYxKwORBcI5iJRKc%2F3.jpg?alt=media&token=1ee5efca-043a-4cd3-a9a8-4ad44dc2930f"},{"type":"text","content":"The department store has very expensive goods which is appropriate since Ginza is one for the most exclusive parts of Tokyo. It's chocolates and cakes are very well known. The Wako department store is also famous for it's clever and interesting window displays and people from all around often come just to see it.\n\nThe best time to view Wako is at night when the whole area is lit up.\n"},{"type":"link","content":"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IPCn_PSPGDU"}]},{"address":"Matsuya Ginza","location":{"longitudeDelta":0.10218818160659443,"latitudeDelta":0.09219986310369421,"latitude":35.672247661399524,"longitude":139.76632379999998},"media":[{"type":"text","content":"This department store looks a little bit old school to me. There are very long corridors and the lifts look like you were in the 1970s. Anyway, the variety of products are great!"},{"type":"text","content":"Matsuya Ginza is a welcome retreat from the busy streets of Tokyo - easily accessible by subway and located in a high fashion precinct. The ground floor hosts an amazing array of food delights. The higher levels have great modern fashion fare including issey miyake, great shoes such as louboutins, and manolo blahniks and handbags of course. On other levels there were unique designer homewares to be found. On the top level we found great traditional japanese gifts for our friends back home, japanese fans handcrafted from kyoto, and traditional kimonos etc. And finally great restaurants for lunch. A one stop shopping haven for the travel weary who have a taste for fine designer wares."},{"type":"link","content":"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BdCAC2yeOMI"},{"type":"img","content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FtJ1PaYxKwORBcI5iJRKc%2F4.jpg?alt=media&token=68482df3-3bb8-4fc0-87f8-92f01d040b33"}]}]
