We returned back to Tokyo around noon and walk the streets in Ginza. It is known as an upmarket area of Tokyo with many department stores, boutiques, restaurants and coffeehouses. This is the Wako department store, the most famous landmark in Ginza.

On Sundays the main road are closed to traffic and pedestrian are allowed to roam around visiting all the stores.
