GINZA SIX is a large shopping and dining complex at 6 Chome-10-1 Ginza, Tokyo. Browse international luxury labels and Japanese retailers, then look up at the changing art installations in the central atrium. The rooftop garden gives you room to pause above Ginza, with views that can include Tokyo Tower and Tokyo Skytree. For a longer break, head to the sixth floor for Tsutaya Books, Starbucks, Eataly and places to eat. Free Wi-Fi is available, and the garden is a welcome stop between shops.
Shopping and architecture
GINZA SIX opened in 2017 on the former site of Matsuzakaya, a department store that had operated in Ginza since 1924. Architect Yoshio Taniguchi designed the building, whose glass exterior and interior public spaces set a contemporary tone for the district.
The shops range from international luxury fashion and beauty labels to Japanese retailers. The central atrium is a focal point for art installations, which change over time. Look up as you move between floors; the displays are part of the visit, not just a backdrop to the shops.
Books, dining and a garden above Ginza
Tsutaya Books is a notable stop for art and design books. Starbucks, Eataly and other food options are also in the complex, giving you places to sit down between shops. Dining choices extend across several floors, so check the options that suit your plans before you arrive.
The rooftop garden offers a quieter change of pace, with planted areas and city views. On clear days, views can include Tokyo Tower and Tokyo Skytree. The garden is free to visit, so you can add it to a Ginza walk without making a shopping purchase.
Art and Japanese culture
Art appears throughout the building, including the central atrium and public areas. The program includes works by contemporary artists, with displays that can change, so the specific installation depends on when you visit.
GINZA SIX also houses the Kanze Noh Theater, dedicated to Noh, a classical form of Japanese theater. The complex brings shopping, art and performance together in one building; check the theater’s own schedule if you want to attend a performance.
