Tokyo: Tokyo Stock Exchange
built 323 days ago
The focus of Tokyo’s service economy is its downtown central business district. This district is fairly large, with many office buildings and businesses located near the grounds of the Imperial Palace. It covers much of the city’s three central wards, Chūō, Chiyoda, and Minato. Many of Japan’s largest manufacturing corporations, financial institutions, and other companies are headquartered here, as are the Japanese offices of many foreign companies. The Marunouchi district in Chūō Ward is especially notable as a concentration of company offices, while the famous Ginza area... in Chūō Ward, is known for its department stores, specialty shops, art galleries, and many fine restaurants. The Tokyo Stock Exchange is in a district of Chūō Ward called Kabutocho.

The Tokyo Stock Exchange is the second largest in the world by market capitalization of listed shares, at $4.99 trillion.[1] Only the New York Stock Exchange is larger. In the early 1990s, at the asset bubble peak, it accounted for more than 60% of the entire world's stock market values.
From the beginning of its reign as the modern capital, Tokyo not only directed Japan's military affairs but ... dominated its commerce, its manufacturing, and its cultural life. The stock exchange and the head offices of banks and most companies are located here as well as those of American, European, and other foreign businesses.

Marunouchi-Otemachi is Tokyo's main business hub, but unless you want to visit Tokyo Station (... from the Meiji Period), renew your visa at the Immigration Center, or observe the Tokyo Stock Exchange, there is nothing much for the visitor here. Head for the Ginza instead. There you will find department stores, boutiques, bookstores, and eating/drinking places for every taste and budget. The Ginza is the nation's showcase. It's what Fifth Avenue is to New York and Oxford Street is to London.
