Togoshi-Ginza Shopping Street

Overview

Togoshi-Ginza Shopping Street, located in Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo, is a bustling 1.3km-long street. It got its name because after the war, bricks from Ginza were donated and used to pave the street. This shopping street retains the charm of old-town Tokyo, with around 400 shops, including supermarkets, drugstores, and restaurants. Many shops evoke a Showa retro atmosphere, making it enjoyable just to stroll around. In recent years, it has seen a surge in popularity among younger generations, adding to its vibrant energy. It boasts a wealth of delicious food; the "Togoshi-Ginza Korokke" (croquettes) are especially famous. Beyond croquettes, there are plenty of other tasty treats to discover, making it ideal for a food-tasting adventure. You'll also find nostalgic elements like traditional dagashiya (candy stores) and toy shops, offering a glimpse into the past. Its convenient location near the city center is another plus. It's just a one-minute walk from Togoshi-Ginza Station on the Tokyu Ikegami Line, making it easily accessible. Be sure to visit!
