Ginza comes from the Japanese word ‘gin’ meaning 'silver’ and 'za’ meaning 'guild,’ as this was where Japan’s silver was minted. Now one of the most famous shopping areas not just in Japan but in the entire world, Ginza has shops, art galleries, nightclubs, must-try ramen restaurants, and cafes, to name a few. There is also a plethora of things to do here such as attending ceremonies, visiting art exhibits, exploring museums, and more! As Ginza is a popular spot, a lot of travelers stay in hotels here, a number of which are quite expensive. But, fret not - there are nearby capsule hotels where you can stay and which are easily accessible by train, taxi, and car. Fair warning though, taxi fares aren’t cheap in Japan!
