No.1:Jugetsudo Ginza Kabukiza

Jugetsudo Ginza Kabukiza is a Japanese tea café and tea-leaf shop operated by Maruyama Nori, a firm founded 165 years ago. This shop was designed by Kengo Kuma, a world-famous architect who also designed the Jugetsudo in Paris, France. Located in a space surrounded by 3,000 bamboo trees, the shop has a terrace where several kinds of Japanese tea and lunch are served together with a view of the Japanese garden on the rooftop of the Kabukiza Theater. There are also counter seats where you can see before your very eyes the formal preparation of traditional Japanese tea and a sales area if you’d like to pick up a souvenir of Tokyo in the form of high-quality sweets and tea leaves.
Their most popular event is their Japanese tea experience option. You’ll be able to enjoy several types of Japanese tea including sencha (standard whole-leaf), gyokuro (shade-grown whole leaf), and matcha (ground tea powder) together with seasonal confectionaries. Presented together with a lecture, it’s perfect for both beginners and long-time Japanese tea lovers. Feel free to contact the shop beforehand, as they also offer a reservation-only English-language option that runs about 60 minutes. Located in Ginza, the very heart of Tokyo, this is a place to forget about the bustle of the city and savor the culture and flavors of Japanese tea in a relaxed atmosphere.

No.2:Ginza Seiyudo

No.2:Ginza Seiyudo

Ginza Seiyudo is one of the largest specialty shops for Japanese swords in Japan. Located as it is in Ginza, Japan’s preeminent shopping area, access to public transport is very convenient and many first-class hotels and famous theaters line the streets of the neighborhood. This shop has earned the trust of both domestic sword lovers as well as collectors from around the world.

Japanese swords are the crystalized embodiment of Japanese craft culture, with some coming down to the present day from over a millennium ago. These are examples of iron craftsmanship that Japan can boast of globally, incomparable in worth and aesthetic value among the swords of the world. Treasures in and of themselves, Japanese swords are not mere cheap pieces of artworks, nor do they suffer from the catastrophic price collapses often seen among old coins or paintings

This shop is glad to introduce a wide range of customers to high-quality Japanese swords with superb added-value, dedicating itself to satisfying patrons and carrying an array of items from accessibly-priced products to works by famous masters.
