Ht1 .....leave luggage @ ginza

Tokyo's ginza is a shopping district that can be accessed from anywhere around Tokyo.  Here is how you can access into ginza using public transportation from the view of a backpacker;

1. Being a backpacker, look for luggage locker. You don't want your luggage in your way when shopping.

 2. Luggage locker are mostly coin-operated. We found one at ginza station that is good for our large backpack.

The writing says 'coin locker'

3. Take note of the location by taking picture of the locker's surrounding area.  Being underground, most corners are the same and you might loose direction very easily.  Show the picture of the locker when asking for direction.

 
4. If possible, stay with the same train line to make it easier to come back.  Lines heading to same destination are plenty with relatively similar fares. 

This dog stature helps in recognising location.

 5. When exiting the the station, take note of the line and the station name.  It is best to come back using the same entrance and station.

 6.  Happy shopping!!
