**Ginza** (銀座, "Silver mint"[](#cite_note-1)) is a business and entertainment district in the [Chūō Ward](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ch%C5%AB%C5%8D,_Tokyo "wikipedia:Chūō, Tokyo") of [Tokyo](/wiki/Tokyo "Tokyo") and appears as a [setting](/wiki/Setting "Setting") several times in the works of [Gosho Aoyama](/wiki/Gosho_Aoyama "Gosho Aoyama"), implied to be close to [Beika](/wiki/Beika "Beika"). Most of the time it is alternatively referred to in his stories as **Kinza** (錦座, "Brocade mint"). In the [movies](/wiki/Movies "Movies") of *[Detective Conan](/wiki/Detective_Conan "Detective Conan")* and other spin-off media, it is sometimes also called **Dōza** (銅座, "Copper mint").
The most important place of it in the stories almost aways is the (equally real) 4th block of the district with its intersection surrounded by shopping centers, as well as a promenade, which is festively decorated for [Christmas](/wiki/Christmas "Christmas") time and in real life actually is located in front of the [Tokyo Station](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokyo_Station "wikipedia:Tokyo Station") in the [Marunouchi District](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marunouchi "wikipedia:Marunouchi") of [Chiyoda Ward](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chiyoda "wikipedia:Chiyoda").
