On the weekend, this area turns into a wonderful pedestrian area where you can walk the streets with no traffic, even lounge on free chairs under an umbrella in the middle of Chuo Avenue! I did a live stream walking from the new GINZA SIX mall to the Apple Store and then Yurakucho. Good tour but there's still some more to explore here! I'll have to bring my friend Jennifer here for some golden ice cream!

Ginza Weekend Afternoon Shopping Street Adventure

Ginza turns into a pedestrian walking area on the weekends on Chuo-dori (Chuo Avenue) but it's not just the Main Street that is awesome. The side streets have a lot of surprises including Satellite shops for every major fashion brand and Japanese prefectural shops where you can get fresh food from all over the country. WHERE IS GINZA and CHUO DORI? https://goo.gl/maps/YUCWaCfhtP12 GINZA STATION is in the center and you can see the street from end to end. It's closed to traffic from 10am to 5pm on Saturday and Sunday every weekend. SUPER CHATS! (Thank you!) ★ trekkeruss Do the golden ice cream with Jennifer! (This -- is AN AWESOME IDEA!!!) ★ Hocus Pocus Buy a coffee with that 😉 (Thank you :) I did buy a coffee in Yurakucho on the way back to Ginza where the lines weren't ridiculous. Thank you very much for the ice coffee!! -john) ★ Vikram Ray Thanks John! (THANK YOU Vikram!) ★ hellohi821 Hi John! Get something good with this!

The waffle place Manneken must be from Belgium. Manneken means little man ( or child), and is referring to the statue in Brussels : Manneken Pis. Brussels was under siege by a foreign power. The city had held its ground for some time, so the attackers conceived of a plan to place explosive charges at the city walls. A little boy named Julianske happened to be spying on them as they were preparing. He urinated ( = Pis) on the burning fuse and thus saved the city. Greetings from a Belgian living in Ireland.
