Tokyo, Shibuya Walking Tour | 4K with Captions and Street Sounds | EP7 S2
Welcome to Shibuya, one of Tokyo’s most vibrant and iconic districts. Famous for its youthful energy, neon-lit skyscrapers, and bustling nightlife, Shibuya is the ultimate symbol of modern Japan. Shibuya Crossing is often called the busiest intersection in the world. It’s estimated that up to 2,500 people cross at once during peak hours. Shibuya Crossing is more than just an intersection — it’s a global cultural icon. Featured in films like Lost in Translation and Resident Evil, it has also starred in countless commercials and music videos. Shibuya Crossing is surrounded by iconic skyscrapers like Shibuya Scramble Square, Shibuya Hikarie, Cerulean Tower, and Shibuya Stream, each blending shopping, offices, and panoramic views. One of the most famous vantage points is the Starbucks inside the Tsutaya building, offering a perfect frontal view of the scramble while enjoying a coffee. In 2025, the average price per square meter in Shibuya is around ¥1.3 million, making it one of the most expensive and sought-after areas in Tokyo. Shibuya Scramble Square, completed in 2019, features the Shibuya Sky Observatory, providing 360-degree views of the city Cerulean Tower, Shibuya Hikarie, and Shibuya Stream complement the skyline, creating a unique mix of modern architecture and bustling urban life. Just outside Shibuya Station stands the statue of Hachikō, the loyal dog who waited for his owner every day for years🐕 Shibuya was once a quiet suburban area, known for its small shops and residential streets. Over the decades, it transformed into one of Tokyo’s most bustling districts. In the post-war era, Shibuya began to develop rapidly with new train lines, attracting young people, shops, and entertainment venues. During the 1980s and 1990s, Shibuya became a cultural hub, especially for youth fashion, music, and pop culture trends. Skyscrapers, shopping complexes, and the expansion of pedestrian zones gradually replaced many old streets, giving Shibuya its modern urban look. Despite modernization, Shibuya still preserves historical landmarks and the Hachikō statue, reminding visitors of its unique past. Shibuya’s evolution reflects Tokyo’s broader transformation: from quiet neighborhoods to vibrant hubs of commerce, culture, and nightlife. Shibuya’s famous scramble crossing became a symbol of the city’s energy in the 1970s, as foot traffic surged and neon signs began to dominate the skyline. The Center Gai area, once a quiet street, transformed into a hub for youth fashion, nightlife, and street culture, attracting generations of trendsetters. In the 1990s, Shibuya’s music scene exploded with live houses, clubs, and record stores, making it a key destination for pop and underground culture. Shibuya’s urban renewal projects in the 2000s brought modern skyscrapers, pedestrian zones, and advanced transit hubs, blending tradition with innovation. Beneath the bustling streets, Shibuya has a complex network of underground passageways connecting shopping centers and train stations. Shibuya is home to one of Tokyo’s smallest cinemas, screening indie films and experimental shorts in a cozy, tucked-away space. There’s a hidden pocket park near Shibuya Station, perfect for a quiet break amidst the city’s constant hustle. Some crosswalk signals in Shibuya play cheerful tunes when pedestrians have the green light — a small detail that makes daily crossings more fun. Shibuya has a rooftop urban garden project on some buildings, bringing greenery to unexpected places and giving locals a calm retreat above the streets. There’s a quirky trend of miniature cafés inside Shibuya train stations where customers can enjoy coffee while waiting for their train. Some Shibuya buildings display digital art walls that change daily, transforming the urban landscape into a living gallery. Hidden alleys in Shibuya feature tiny bars and eateries where locals meet — many of these spots are unmarked and discoverable only on foot. Shibuya is a paradise for shoppers, home to iconic fashion hubs like Shibuya 109, famous for its youthful and trendy clothing collections. Magnet by Shibuya 109 offers a modern twist on the classic mall, with rooftop views and unique stores that draw both locals and tourists. The Shibuya Hikarie complex combines shopping, dining, and art spaces in a sleek, modern tower, creating a one-stop cultural experience. For tech lovers, Bic Camera in Shibuya offers the latest electronics, gadgets, and cameras, a must-visit for tech enthusiasts. Shibuya Stream hosts a mix of shops, boutique stores, and flagship brand outlets, blending traditional shopping with modern design. Shibuya also hides indie shops and concept stores in narrow alleys, where unique fashion and handmade items await discovery. Shibuya is a food lover’s paradise, from world-renowned ramen shops to trendy cafes and dessert spots that line the bustling streets. Ichiran Ramen in Shibuya offers a unique solo dining experience, letting visitors focus solely on the flavor of their rich tonkotsu ramen. 🍜 For sushi enthusiasts, Uobei Shibuya provides a fun conveyor belt experience where high-tech screens let you order your favorite sushi directly to your seat. Shibuya also boasts trendy dessert spots like Café Ron Ron, where colorful sweets are made right in front of you for a visually stunning experience. 🍰 Welcome to the Imperial Palace in Tokyo, the primary residence of the Emperor of Japan and one of the city’s most historic landmarks. The palace stands on the site of the former Edo Castle, once the seat of the Tokugawa shogunate during the Edo period. The Imperial Palace is surrounded by moats and lush gardens that contrast with Tokyo’s skyscrapers. The palace grounds are divided into public areas and restricted areas—with most of the central palace buildings closed to visitors. There are four main gates to the palace grounds, but the Nijubashi Bridge is the most iconic entrance, often photographed by tourists. Fun fact: the Imperial Palace is one of the most valuable pieces of real estate in the world, with land worth billions of dollars. Twice a year, on the Emperor’s Birthday and New Year, the inner grounds open, and visitors can see the imperial family greet the crowd. The East Gardens are open to the public all year and showcase remains of Edo Castle, including defensive walls and guard towers. Surrounded by ancient pine trees and koi ponds, the palace grounds create an oasis of tranquility in the heart of bustling Tokyo. The palace is not only a symbol of tradition but also of continuity—connecting Japan’s samurai past with its modern imperial family. Welcome to Ginza, Tokyo’s most luxurious shopping district, famous for its designer boutiques, flagship stores, and neon-lit avenues. Ginza’s history dates back to the Edo period, when it was a silver mint district—its name literally means “silver mint.” Today, Ginza is home to global luxury brands like Chanel, Dior, Gucci, and Louis Vuitton, each with spectacular flagship stores. The iconic Ginza Wako Building, with its clock tower, has stood since 1932 and remains one of the district’s most photographed landmarks. The district lights up at night, with neon billboards and digital screens making it one of the most futuristic spots in Tokyo. ✨ Fun fact: Ginza real estate is among the most expensive in the world, with prices rivaling those of New York’s Fifth Avenue.
