On November 21st, Ginza Mitsukoshi will light up its "Ginza Chandelier" Christmas illuminations, simultaneously with the illuminations of Ginza city, which decorate the trees and ornaments lining Chuo-dori and Harumi-dori. You can watch the moment the Christmas illuminations are lit up in the pedestrian zone. A lighting ceremony will also be held on the special stage in front of the Lion Entrance on the first floor of the Ginza Mitsukoshi Main Building.
The upper window frame of the "Ginza Chandelier" will become the "Ginza Chandelier Sky."
"Ginza Chandelier Sky" ~A new viewing spot has been born at the 4-Chome intersection, the heart of the global Ginza!~
Ginza Mitsukoshi will be revamping and reopening the space on the 7th floor of the main building, facing the 4-Chome intersection, as a public space (with promotions held from time to time). This public space, which is equipped with a viewing window and rest area, has been named "Ginza Chandelier Sky" to reflect the fact that it is a viewing spot where you can enjoy the "Ginza streets" and "Ginza blue sky" as seen from the "Ginza Chandelier." Be sure to take a look at the Ginza streets decorated with Christmas illuminations from approximately 25 meters above ground. (※Open to the public on November 22nd)

What is Ginza Chandelier? Ginza is a city that has embraced all cultures from around the world, giving birth to new brilliance. We hope that it will continue to be a place filled with dreams and aspirations, a place where happy memories are woven. It was with this wish in mind that the "Ginza Chandelier," a facade of light, was born at the Ginza 4-Chome intersection. It is the entrance where the stories of the people who gather in Ginza begin. It dazzlingly illuminates encounters and gently lights up memories. It is a symbol of the new city that colors Ginza today.
Ginza Chandelier Overview
The chandelier was chosen as a motif that embodies the image of Ginza, such as tradition, beauty, dreams, and aspirations, and is befitting the bustle and dignity of the city. We named it "Ginza Chandelier" with the hope that it will become a symbol of high public value that will be beloved for a long time, adding color to the cityscape, and become recognized as an integral part of the city.
LED optical fiber is embedded in the chandelier. The arch surrounding the chandelier is meant to resemble a "gate," representing an entrance where new encounters await. The decorative panels on the wall feature designs of the willow, a tree in Chuo Ward that symbolizes Ginza, and the lion, the symbol of Mitsukoshi. The lights change colors depending on the season and time, creating a streetscape.
