Ginza: The Silver Seat

The kanji in Ginza mean "silver" and "seat" (or "squat") and the district was named such because of a silver mint located here in the Edo period. Today, it is Tokyo's most upscale shopping district. It was named well. This is looking northeast down this Chuo Dori in Ginza...
