You can actually go inside the main keep and see the original architecture. It's really well preserved for a castle of its age.

Nakamura Tokichi Ginza Store
Founded in the first year of Ansei (1854), "Nakamura Tokichi Honten," a Japanese tea specialty store based in Uji, Kyoto, opened its first store in Tokyo, located in the largest shopping mall in the Ginza district, "GINZA SIX." Popular among shoppers, daters, and tourists from both Japan and abroad, the store is always bustling with a line of customers. Upon entering through the "Maruto" noren (shop curtain) and taking a seat, guests are served a seasonally selected welcome tea, offering a moment of relaxation.
The matcha ice cream is super rich and not bitter at all.

Tokyo Kaikan Ginza Sky Lounge
Located right in front of Yurakucho Station, this historic French restaurant in Ginza boasts a circular floor plan with all seats arranged along the windows, allowing for panoramic views of Marunouchi, Ginza, and the Tokyo Station area through its expansive windows.
The restaurant slowly rotates, so the view is absolutely amazing! You can sit in one spot and see all of Ginza. Eating while enjoying the cityscape is such a treat.
