1. Kissa Ginza
Café Ginza, located on a small street in Ginza, is a historic pure coffee shop established in 1962. The cafe boasts a nostalgic interior and sophisticated menu. The interior is decorated with vintage furniture, creating an atmosphere as if you have wandered into a Showa-era retro movie. With only a few seats, it is filled with the elements of a hideaway.
Recommended for a date are the carefully blended coffee and homemade sweets. Each cup of coffee is carefully brewed, allowing you to enjoy the deep, natural flavor of the beans. Meanwhile, the homemade basque cheesecake has a perfect balance of rich sweetness and just the right amount of sourness. This is the perfect spot for two people to relax and enjoy conversation.
The quiet atmosphere of the entire café is perfect for an adult date. If you visit in the late afternoon, the soft light streaming in through the windows will make you feel even more comfortable. Since reservations are not required, it is recommended to arrive a little early for weekend visits.

2. BAR HIGH FIVE
Located in a corner of a building in Ginza, BAR HIGH FIVE is known as a bar with an international reputation. Upon opening the small door, you will be greeted by professional bartenders in subdued lighting. The interior is simple yet sophisticated, creating the perfect mood for a special evening.
There is no menu, but rather, you tell the bartender your mood with a single question and answer, and he or she will create an original cocktail for you on the spot. This is a great way to enjoy a drink that matches the personality and conversation of the person you are drinking with, which will bring the two of you even closer together. Non-alcoholic cocktails can also be offered for those who do not like alcohol.
With its emphasis on quietness and privacy, this bar is the perfect place to enjoy deep conversations. Why not spend a special time for two in an adult space away from the bustle of a tourist destination?

Stepping into the small wooden building, you are greeted by colorful illustrations on the walls and warm lighting. Everywhere you look, the space is cute and makes you smile.
