Ginza

Tokyo Station - the Marunouchi and Yaesu districts around Tokyo Station are a short 20 minute walk north of Ginza's center

Yurakucho - west of Ginza, this area houses a mix of commercial and reasonable shopping compared to Ginza's high end areas

Hama-Rikyu Detached Palace Garden - south of the Ginza, these former Imperial pleasure gardens are an oasis of tranquility in a hectic city. Here you can catch a tour boat which will take you up the Samida River to Asakusa. From the river, much of the Tokyo skyline is visible.

Tsukiji - south-east of Ginza, this area is famous for its fish and vegetable market - be aware that restaurants inside the market are generally busy and expensive while small eateries outside the market are more affordable and nearly as fresh.

Hibiya Park - just west of Ginza past the Sony Building and elevated highway, this park contains many different European styles. In May/June, the azaleas are in bloom.

Imperial Palace - just north of Hibiya Park, making it an easy walk from Ginza. Enjoy the open parks and venture a little into the public park area.
