Historic Marunouchi & Ginza

The Walk

Neighbouring Marunouchi and Ginza were the first Tokyo neighbourhoods to mod-
ernise (in the western sense) after Japan opened its doors to foreign influence at
the end of the 19th century. Many reminders of this fascinating, turbulent time still
exist. This is also where you'll find top sights, such as the Imperial Palace and
Kabuki-za, and the city's most expensive real estate.
