Nakagin Capsule Tower 中銀カプセルタワー
[No longer exists, this entry is included here as the building is in so many travel books.]

I had long known of this building, having seen many photographs in magazines over the years. A few years back I was strolling through Shinbashi toward the Ginza when I turned a corner and spotted it. My camera went up instantly. Completed in 1972, this was one of the most iconic Tokyo structures from the 20th century. A developer had been impressed with the capsule design for Expo 1970 in Osaka by Kurokawa Kishō and asked him to design a similar building of offices and small apartments for this lot in Tokyo. There were a total of 140 capsules assembled off site and cantilevered to the two towers. Construction was completed in just thirty days. In 2007 the neighborhood, including some tenants, petitioned to have the building demolished and replaced, as it was in bad shape. However the demolition company hired to do so went out of business due to the 2008 market crash. A preservationist movement grew to prevent demolition and new tenants purchased capsules and moved in. However eventually demolition took place in 2022.

Tansuya Ginzaten (たんす屋 銀座店)

Tansuya (たんす屋) is a famous chain selling new and used kimono and yukata. They describe themselves as a kimono recycle store. Frankly looking at the recycled kimono they are in great shape, not surprising as the Japanese tend to take good care of their stuff. There are many shops in Tokyo, I am adding them to these supplement pages and the bookmarks when I have a page for the area they are in.

Yayoiken Ginza Inz (やよい軒 銀座インズ店)

The local branch of the restaurant chain Yayoi, on the second floor. I include it here as this is an excellent place to get a Japanese style breakfast at very reasonable prices. As you enter there is a machine where you can order and pay for your meal. This is a touch screen device and has an English menu option for easy selection. Pay for your meal, collect your ticket and change then seat yourself. You don't need to be able to speak Japanese as the ticket has your selection. Refills on rice and tea are free, just help yourself.
