The MO is over three times the distance from Ginza station (centralish Ginza) than the Mitsui Garden Inn (AKA Ginza Premier).

How fast would one have to run to get anywhere near there from the MO in ten minutes? And how likely is the OP going to be able to do so with a companion and a stroller and the rapidly warming weather?
The information from the Mitsui Garden Inn that it takes 7 minutes on foot to get to exit A3 at Ginza station is accurate and an attainable goal for most people.
Ginza Station within a 5 to 10 minute walking distance from the MO is feasible only for supreme athletes who can racewalk for their countries.
