Ginza Mitsukoshi is one of the area’s landmarks. This institution at the 4-chome intersection is a must-visit for anyone in the area, if only for their fabulous food hall.

When it comes to Japanese department stores, few can top Mitsukoshi for its range of goods and services, and the overall quality of its offerings. This building on the corner of the 4-chome intersection is home to 12 floors of pure consumer paradise.

If you’re not one for clothes or cosmetics shopping, the main reason you should visit Mitsukoshi while in Ginza is for the food hall and supermarket floor on B2 and B3. This is directly accessible via exit A7 from the subway, which is pretty convenient.

The sheer range of food in the food hall is impressive. You’ll find almost anything you can think of here: French patisserie, croquettes, steak sandwiches, salads, Kyoto-style pickles, cream-filled confections, simmered stews, gorgeous fruits, and more.
Cobble together a meal from the dozens of food stands and bring your bounty to the “Ginza Terrace” (just call it a rooftop patio) for a makeshift picnic on the grass in the sun.
