There’s more than one Ginza in Japan and there are even quite a few other Ginza in Tokyo (besides the well known one). Jūjō Ginza, next to JR Jūjō Station is one of the biggest.

Jūjō Ginza has been a prominent shopping street in the area since the Meiji period in the 19th century. The roof which turned the street into an arcade was completed in 1979.
