Ginza is known for luxury, but tucked between the polished storefronts and department stores are a few sushi spots that break the mold. These aren’t your average conveyor belt restaurants. Each one offers something unexpectedly thoughtful, whether it’s Edo-style flair, regional specialties, or a quiet ritual you didn’t see coming.

All three are affordable, easy to enjoy, and full of little surprises that make them worth the detour.

This is no ordinary conveyor belt sushi. Kura Sushi’s Ginza location brings Edo-period atmosphere to life through floating lanterns, wooden booths, and projected fireworks inspired by Hiroshige’s ukiyo-e. There are three performance-style food stations where you can order sushi, tempura, or sweet rice dumplings. Chefs prepare everything fresh at the booth, which gives it a theatrical flair.

The Ginza-exclusive sushi sets include premium seasonal fish, beautiful plating, and playful menu names. The conveyor belt here is the longest in Kura Sushi history, at over 123 meters. With 242 seats, including lots of private booths, the space feels comfortable and upscale.

Toyama Sushi Ginza

This is a hidden gem. A branch of a beloved sushi restaurant from Toyama Prefecture, known for its use of fresh, local seafood from the Sea of Japan. The Ginza location offers an all-you-can-eat course with a 90-minute time limit. Prices are 4,950 yen for men and 4,180 yen for women.

It’s located in the basement of the FUNDES Ginza building. The interior is minimalist and traditional. What makes this place special, besides the fish, is the way tea is served. You grind your own genmaicha with a small tea whisk, making the experience feel a little slower and more personal.
