Wako 和光

A shopping haven and iconic prewar monument

Located on the corner of Ginza Yonchome in Tokyo's swish shopping district, Wako is both a beloved landmark best known for its clock tower and a popular luxury-specialized department store. Owned by the world-famous Seiko watch brand, the building with the clock tower dates back to before World War II and miraculously survived the devastating firebombing of Tokyo.
The store offers watches, fine jewelry, bags, men's and women's accessories, and homeware from both domestic and international brands. There is also the Wako Hall on the sixth floor, which hosts exhibits of arts and crafts. If you are looking for souvenirs, many delicious treats are available in the neighboring Wako Annex building. A tea salon on the second floor of the Annex offers refined desserts and a light lunch menu.
