Ginza Crossing Then & Now

About a month ago, I found some vintage post cards of scenes of Ginza in the 1950s.  Here's one of them:

Above, the Wako Dept. Store is on the left and the Mitsukoshi Dept. Store is on the right in the 1950s.

The next two photos are of the Wako and Mitsukoshi department stores taken in December 2010.  The streetcars are gone, but the two Ginza Crossing department stores still remain.

Go to 08:44 min. to see the Wako Dept. Store torn down.
