Während andere Teile Tokios „gentrifiziert“ werden, besteht die Gefahr, dass das Luxusmarken-Einkaufsviertel Ginza zu einer „Bürgerstadt“ wird, da neue Discount-OK-Supermärkte und Kura Sushis eröffnet werden. Da in der Gegend immer mehr Eigentumswohnungen gebaut werden, nutzen immer mehr Menschen Ginza für alltägliche Einkäufe und Restaurants

Oh no the horror
What’s wrong with residents living in Ginza shopping for groceries in Ginza? Give it a break.
The actual problem Ginza has is that all luxury shopping areas in the world now are enshittified by non-differentiatability. Every shop sells the same shit made by the same designers from the same factories in every luxury shopping area in the world. The same class of people gets a plane from city to city to buy essentially the same goods on a different street.
It’s fine for areas to change over time.
I thought everyone was a commoner except the royal family. Am I wrong?
The horror…
That doesn’t sound so bad.
I happen to buy lunch from that OK sometimes and it’s funny how it’s always crowded around the Bento corner, even with high end madamu
Yeah, no this article is not true. While supposedly cheaper restaurants are opening there. It’s actually the opposite, because they are in Ginza they raise their prices and hope to get a more „prestige“ image through being there…. restaurants in Ginza are still quite significantly more expensive than in other places.
Additionally as others have pointed out, if ginza becomes a more „commoner“ accessible district, that would actually be good, luxury brands make their money by appearing exclusive and to portray a „higher“ status, which honestly nobody needs, as it’s solely used for discrimination towards people of „lower“ status.
Worse than starving Africans
i lived in Ginza before and they NEED more grocery stores …..
