*''Japanese'': 銀座 ''(ginza)''
Ginza is a neighborhood in [[Tokyo]] known for its expensive high fashion brands and often compared to New York's Fifth Avenue. Ginza is also home to the [[Kabuki-za]], the chief [[kabuki]] theater in the world.
The neighborhood takes its name from the silver mint (''ginza'') established there in [[1612]], being moved from [[Fushimi]], where it was previously established in [[1598]].
