the Mitsukoshi Department Store, Ginza

Mitsukoshi Department Store (4 April 2007)


Mitsukoshi Department Store is one of the oldest and grandest department store in Tokyo. The store at Ginza is a branch of the flagship store located at Nihombashi (note, not Nihonbashi). Mitsukoshi was founded by the Mitsui family as a kimono store back in 1673. Over the course of retail history, it has chalked up several firsts, including the first store to deal only in cash sales, in 1683, the first to display goods on shelves rather than having a salesperson bring it to the customer, and was the first to employ female attendants.

Mitsukoshi Department Store at Ginza was opened in 1930. is located right on the 4-chome crossing, face-to-face with Wako Department Store on the other side of the road.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
