Our guide
Matsuya is a Tokyo department store with branches in Ginza, opened in 1925 and now the company's headquarters, and Asakusa. It began in Yokohama in 1869, just after the Meiji Restoration, as Tsuruya, a shop selling cotton for kimono. In 1889 it bought Imagawa Matsuya, a Tokyo kimono-fabric shop founded in 1776, and took its name for its long lineage. It opened a three-storey Western-style store in 1907 and the modern department store in Ginza in 1925, and in the 1960s the Ginza store held two well-regarded art exhibitions, “From Space to Environment” and “Good Design”.
It stands in Ginza, about 100 m from the point this page is mapped to; Ginza Station is about 250 m off. We have not checked opening hours.
