Shibuya Crossing

The famous crossing sees people crossing in every direction en masse. The second floor of the Starbucks has been a great spot to take photos of the crazy pedestrian crossing. The coffee shop closed in 2023 for renovation of the building and is due to reopen late April 2024 with a larger cafe/lounge.

Hachikō
ハチ公
A diminutive statue of a dog tucked away in one corner of the big plaza outside the station, best known as a meeting place and for the story (see box). It is also the name of one of the many exits from Shibuya Station and the prime meeting place before a night out. Just hanging out near Hachiko for a while will give you some great people-watching.

Center Gai
センター街 Sentaa-gai
The narrow street leading away from the station to the left of the giant video screen, it's famous as the birthplace of many of Japan's youth fashion trends. Center Gai is jam-packed with clothing stores, music stores, and video game arcades. This is a great place to stroll and feel the Shibuya vibe.

109 Building
Ichi-maru-kyu
Teenage fashion. Worth an escalator trip. The name is a wordplay on Tokyu, its owner company: 10 is toh and 9 is kyu in Japanese.

Tokyu Food Show
東急フードショー
A superb food section in the basement with enough free samples to make a full lunch, if you don't mind not having a place to sit.
