CHŪŌ DŌRI, GINZA
Ginza and around
Look east from the Imperial Palace area and you'll see that the flat parkland on
its periphery is, almost immediately, punctuated by row upon row of high-rise
buildings. Many of Tokyo's swankiest places to eat, drink and sleep can be
found within these mushrooming towers, in between which stretch crowded
streets that are transformed come dusk into neon-lit canyons. And although a
couple of decades past its heyday, the glut of luxury malls and flagship stores
here remains the envy of Tokyo. Uniform though the grey-faced of ce blocks
may appear from a distance, the mass of rampant urbanity is split up into
several distinct geographic zones, of which Ginza is by far the best known. This
slice of quintessential modern-day Japan is fascinating enough, but factor in a
sprinkling of great museums and you're set for the day.
