Mitsukoshi

The oldest surviving department store chain in Japan (founded 1673), Mitsukoshi has its gargantuan flagship store in Nihonbashi. This Ginza branch (opposite Wako) has womenswear and accessories on the first five floors, menswear on the sixth, and household goods on the seventh. The B3 floor has toys, childrenswear and the tax-exemption counter. The bronze lion outside Mitsukoshi’s main entrance is a popular meeting place.
