The Wako department store is considered to be the jewel in the crown of Tokyo’s upmarket Ginza district.
The Seiko clock tower, which sits atop the store, overlooking a busy shopping area, is a major landmark and symbol of resilience, having survived the fire bombings of Tokyo in World War II.
Built in 1937 by famous Japanese architect Jin Watanabe, the neo-classical building has a clear Art Deco influence in its design.
Passers-by are enticed inside by the store’s impressive window displays, which take inspiration from history, of-the-moment trends and objects of beauty.
As a department store, selling everything from cakes and homeware to fashion, Wako has many alluring areas.
Among the most impressive are its Watch Square and Jewellery Square located on the first and second floors, which were introduced in August 2020.
Here, you can find some of the world’s most illustrious high-end jewellery and watch brands, including a large collection of Grand Seiko Watches within a stylishly outfitted dedicated area.
Wako, which is owned by Seiko Group Corporation, also has a watch repair service for customers and an extensive range of imported high-end brands, including Franck Muller and Panerai.
