GINZA Design Council

At Ginza Design Consultations, we are interested not only in the visible design elements but also in the underlying ideas and intentions of business owners and project developers.

Beyond consulting on the appearance at the time of project completion, we view the ongoing sharing of “Ginza-ness” between the business operators and the community as an essential part of Ginza’s urban development. We encourage you to actively participate in the consultation process.

Ginza seeks to remain a cutting-edge commercial city, not by merely preserving the existing streetscape but by welcoming innovative ideas that create vibrancy.

It is essential for designers and architects to consider “Ginza-ness” in the early stages of planning and design. The Ginza Design Rules have been prepared as a resource to assist you, and we welcome any inquiries you may have—so please feel free to reach out not only for pre-application consultations but at any time.

The Ginza Design Council is housed together with the All-Ginza Association’s office, which serves as a repository of information regarding streets and areas throughout Ginza.

Information regarding the original paving, flower beds, scheduled events during construction, construction vehicle routes, and the concerns of local residents is available. We recommend that you consult with us before commencing any work.
