Shibuya (渋谷) is one of the twenty-three city wards of Tokyo, but often refers to just the popular shopping and entertainment area found around Shibuya Station. In this regard, Shibuya is one of Tokyo’s most colorful and busy districts, packed with shopping, dining and nightclubs serving swarms of visitors that come to the district everyday.
Shibuya is a center for youth fashion and culture, and its streets are the birthplace to many of Japan’s fashion and entertainment trends. Over a dozen major department store branches can be found around the area catering to all types of shoppers. Most of the area’s large department and fashion stores belong to either Tokyu or Seibu, two competing corporations.
The frenetic and scrambling center of modern Japanese culture
Artistic shots of Shibuya’s iconic crossing continue to feature on the pages of global fashion and travel magazines, and for good reason. The chaotic, yet miraculously organized crossing has become a symbol of Tokyo’s dynamism and represents Shibuya—Japan’s trend-setting powerhouse dedicated to fashion and arts. Join the crowds as they diverge off into the many streets and alleyways to shop and hangout in hip cafes, bars, and restaurants. Spend time appreciating the area’s fiercely independent art scene, or simply visit to experience the rapid-beating heart of Tokyo.
Shopping hub for fashionistas, creators and designers
The streets of Shibuya continue to be responsible for global fashion trend-setting. The iconic building of Shibuya109 is a mecca for fashion-conscious teenagers, whereas Shibuya Hikarie and Seibu are modern complexes for sophisticated fashion shopping and dining. Alternatively, drop by the Jinnan area and browse the legions of distinctive select shops. Not just a place for the modern fashionista, if you are a designer or creator, head to the modern lifestyle megastores Tokyu Hands or Loft; or pick up some quirky souvenirs from the well-stacked shelves of discount store giant, Don Quijote.
Center Gai
The birthplace of many Japanese fashion trends, Center Gai is a busy pedestrian zone in the heart of Shibuya lined by stores, boutiques and game centers. In the evenings the street is crowded with young people heading to night clubs, restaurants and bars, or just loitering around.
Koen Dori
Koen Dori, lit. “Park Street”, is a popular shopping street leading from the Marui department store to Yoyogi Park. It was named after Parco department store (parco is Italian for park) and the fact that the street leads to Yoyogi Park.
Spain Slope
Spain Slope (Supeinzaka) is a narrow, approximately 100 meter long pedestrian street with stairs leading up the slope to the Parco department store. It is lined by boutiques, cafes and restaurants, and was nicknamed for its resemblance to a Spanish street scene.
Love Hotel Hill
This area of Shibuya has a high concentration of love hotels, which offer couples a private room for a 2 to 3 hour “rest” during the day (usually around 5,000 yen) or an overnight “stay” (usually around 10,000 yen)
