- Ginza Mitsukoshi - Capture photos at the main crossing of Ginza’s central street, behind the SEIKO clock tower.
- Ginza - The second stop features a Japanese Wagyu beef BBQ, where guests can enjoy Wagyu tongue, Wagyu beef loin, and a fresh lemon cocktail. While Wagyu can be heavy and greasy when served as steak, here it is served in slices with freshly grated daikon radish and fresh green onion.
- Ginza Corridor Street - The final stop is a place called “Obanzai,” a home cooking method originating from Kyoto in the 70s-80s, referring to everyday side dishes. It is known for simple seasoning that enhances the natural flavors of ingredients, including seasoned, boiled, and deep-fried bitashi dishes. The ‘Okami-san,’ a master lady chef in a kimono, warmly welcomes guests as if they are her own children, creating a feeling of returning home. She is affectionately called “Mom.”
- Yurakucho Sanchoku Yokocho - Before concluding the tour, there is a stop at a hidden gem, an exciting Izakaya alley under the train tracks that is open 24/7. Guests can choose to stay and enjoy extra moments of the day after the tour if they wish!
