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.
With more than 400 meters of covered space, the arcade is the longest in Kita-ward, although there are only one other arcade of significance!
