Ginza
Ginza is the nation's most famous shopping district, with long established and prestigious department stores and shops. Center of the Ginza is Ginza-Yon (4)-Chome intersection, where Ginza Street meets Harumi-dori Ave. Ginza Street running from northeast to southwest is lined with large department stores, major shops and restaurants. (Hotel Seiyo is located on Ginza Street). Harumi-dori Avenue leads to the Kabukiza Theater and further to Tsukiji on Tokyo Bay noted for the fresh fish markets. In the other direction Harumi dori Avenue leads to Yurakucho and IIibiya. A few blocks toward Hibiya from Ginza Yon-Chome intersection is another busy intersection identified by the Sony Building, one of the Ginza landmarks where Sony's products are displayed. The Ginza is a district filled with side streets and fringed by large and small specialty shops, restaurants, coffee shops, and mostly exclusive and expensive bars and nightclubs.

Kabuki

Kabuki Theater is located 2 1/2 miles from the hotel.

Noh
The beauty of this highly stylized stage art is accented by symbolic movements of the players to the accompaniment of solemn chanting and ancient Japanese classical music. Noh plays are performed in several Nohgakudo in Tokyo and in the National Noh Theater, on limited days of each month.
