Eataly Ginza was planned on the 6th floor of Ginza Six, a facility located in one of Tokyo's most prestigious commercial districts. The floor is occupied by Tsutaya Bookstore, well-known as the large bookstores in Japan, and was designed based on the concept of a back alley. The concept of Eataly is Eataly Garden, and it is planned to be integrated so that a rich Garden spreads beyond the alleyway. The design of the space is based on a collection of small stores reminiscent of a garden so that visitors to Eataly can spend their time comfortably.
