A wide variety of clothing, jewelry, miscellaneous goods, cosmetics, and more will be available. Bridal jewelry will be on the second floor, while gifts and accessories will be available on the third floor, featuring bridal and anniversary jewelry shops.

Furthermore, on the basement floor, "Ore no Italian TOKYO" and "Ore no French TOKYO" offer high-end cuisine in a casual setting, making them some of the largest restaurants in Japan.
A full range of bridal services are available from the ninth floor to the top floor, and on the 11th and 12th floors, there is the "Verdemossa Ginza" wedding venue, based on the concept of a "Ginza resort wedding." It also features a fully glass-enclosed chapel and a party room with one of Tokyo's largest rooftop gardens.
Tetsuro Masuko, Executive Officer and Head of Real Estate Business at ORIX Corporation, commented, "Ginza is undergoing redevelopment, and from now on, it will become a place that communicates with the world. Among these, Kirarito Ginza is imbued with the desire to help people decorate their lives with brightness, and we have gathered various flagship stores to create a new landmark." Yukio Arai, president and CEO of developer MSC Co., Ltd., said, "We set out to create something not found in Ginza, and we've created a commercial facility catering to the bridal needs of Ginza's Chuo-dori Street, home to Harry Winston, Tiffany, and Hatsuko Endo Beauty Studio. Facilities specializing in 'special occasions' are extremely rare across the country, and we look forward to seeing what the future holds." The press conference also unveiled a gorgeous "crystal poster" featuring the facility's key visual, featuring approximately 100,000 crystals and 10 carats of diamonds scattered throughout. The posters are made up of 1,000 sheets cut to business card size, and each sheet features a special coupon on the back that can be used at tenant shops. Visitors can peel them off and use them at the grand opening. Some sheets feature a one-carat natural diamond, making them "gifts" in themselves.
