      Ginza Street on the weekends is a pedestrian mall. It makes for a bustling promenade with many families with children. Tables and chairs are brought out into the middle of the main street where people can drink tea, making it on par with Strøget of Copenhagen, a pioneer of pedestrian-only streets.
