Shibuya

Shibuya
Shibuya is one of Tokyo’s most energetic commercial and entertainment districts, popular with Japan’s youth culture. Its streets, including Center Gai and Takeshita Street, are packed with fashion boutiques, cafes, and bars, making it a hub for the latest trends.

A major landmark is the Shibuya Scramble Crossing, the busiest pedestrian intersection in the world, located just outside Shibuya Station. Nearby, you’ll also find NHK Studio Park, a glimpse into Japan’s national broadcaster, and Shibuya Sky, an observation deck offering stunning city views.

Just a short trip from Shibuya is Ebisu Garden Place, home to the Tokyo Photographic Art Museum and the Museum of Yebisu Beer, which celebrates the area’s brewing history.

Shibuya is easily accessible via the JR Yamanote Line, Tokyo Metro Ginza Line, and several other train and subway lines.
