Sightseeing in Tokyo’s Ginza

Hot to shop but afraid of getting lost in Tokyo’s Ginza district? A new city-sponsored sightseeing bus takes visitors on a loop of the area for about $2. Those who want to sample the swank stores and restaurants can buy a one-day pass that allows them to get on and off the bus whenever they like. The buses depart from the Yaesu exit of Tokyo Station. Passes are sold on board the bus, which makes the loop several times an hour, except on Mondays when trips are hourly.
