Let's see what the MO has to say for itself:

Overlooking the Imperial Palace garden to the West and Tokyo Bay to the Southeast, the opulent hotel’s central location has direct subway access via Mitsukoshi-mae Station on the Ginza line to all major points of the city. In addition, Tokyo Station, the world-renowned Ginza shopping district, and the Tokyo Stock Exchange are all within 5-10 minutes walking distance.
Which is pretty much the same distance as the Mitsui Garden Inn that you recommend.
You are not going to find much inside of Ginza itself, though the Nihonbashi area where the MO is located is a decent shopping destination in its own right.
