Ginza Station is where the Tokyo Metro Ginza, Marunouchi and Hibiya Lines meet; Yurakucho is one stop, about 2 minutes, away and Tokyo Station is within walking distance. With good access to both Haneda and Narita airports, it is one of Tokyo's premier central locations. The surrounding streets bring together long-established names such as Ginza Mitsukoshi, GINZA SIX and Wako with its clock tower alongside the newest retail complexes, and with a great many stores offering tax-free and multilingual service, shopping is easy even right after you arrive in Japan. Neighboring Higashi-Ginza is home to the Kabukiza Theatre, where an earphone guide lets you follow kabuki in English. Meidi-ya Ginza Store carries imported ingredients, so foods from home are available too. On weekends Chuo-dori becomes a pedestrian zone and the whole street turns into a relaxed place to stroll. Underground passages lead toward Yurakucho and Tokyo Station, and with many English-speaking clinics and international hotels nearby, the area is well equipped to support your first months in Japan.
