You can travel Japan in its entirety through your taste buds at this speciality restaurant in Shibuya Hikarie. The restaurant’s comprehensive menu features food and drink items from all 47 prefectures. You’ll want to check back frequently as the menu changes each month.

7.  Enjoy music and a drink at Grandfather's

Established 40 years ago, the aptly named Grandfather’s started out with a playlist style that was uncommon at the time, blending together rock LPs one song at a time. After all these years, the interior is still well maintained, giving off a rich ambience that’s appropriate for such a venerable bar and that lends an extra level of charm to the music.

8.  Dig into a fresh seafood bowl at Maguro To Shari Shibuya

Just as its name suggests, Maguro To Shari (which translates as ‘tuna and rice’) serves only tuna sashimi rice bowls. The sashimi here comes directly from the fishermen, each hand-picked by professionals with the help of Sumiyoshi Fishery Group. This means you’re guaranteed to get fresh, premium quality fish at a reasonable cost.

9.  Become a Pokémon trainer at Pokémon Center Shibuya

The Pokémon Center Shibuya looks like the futuristic lab of the game’s Professor Willow. At the entrance, you’ll be greeted by a life-sized Mewtwo hibernating in a water tank, before you venture into a massive retail space filled with all your favourite Pokémon characters in every imaginable form.

10.  Enjoy an old-school cup of coffee Satei Hato

• Coffeeshops

Stepping through the low, marble-tiled entrance, the first thing you’ll notice is the gorgeous tableware displayed behind a long hardwood counter. That’s not to say that the surroundings here outshine the coffee – on the contrary, Satei Hato’s hand-drip offerings maintain the absolutely highest quality. Choose from up to eight varieties of charcoal-roasted beans and watch as the formally dressed staff prepare your treat with almost religious dedication.

11.  Eat a little piece of the French countryside at Bistro Rojiura

Rojiura means ‘back alley’ and that’s where you’ll find this wonderfully casual restaurant – in a backstreet not far from Shibuya Station. The small eatery stocks a noteworthy selection of natural wine and is a great spot for a quick and easy weeknight dinner. The breakfast and brunch here is also noteworthy – be sure to order the indulgent French toast that’s served with thick slabs of bacon and fresh burrata.

12.  Relax on a rooftop garden at Miyashita Park

• Shopping centres

The renovated   Miyashita Park   is another new addition to Shibuya’s ever-changing cityscape. Previously a public park located along the Yamanote line, this glitzy new three-storey building is home to a shopping mall, a variety of   restaurants   and cafés, hotel and spacious rooftop park.

13.  Slurp on quality noods at Menya Nukaji

This Udagawacho hotspot uses a rich, delicious gyokai tonkotsu broth made from simmering chicken, pork and seafood. The rich light-brown soup is packed with flavour and pairs well with the straight and firm noodles. The basic ramen starts at just ¥1,100, but for ¥1,450 you’ll get a bowl with all the trimmings including lightly seared chashu pork, menma bamboo shoots, a flavoured egg and green onions.

14.  Geek out underground at Mandarake

You don’t have to go all the way to Akihabara to get your otaku fix: this subterranean shop in central Shibuya is overflowing with manga, anime, collectable toys and more.  Serious collectors should stay tuned to the shop’s socials for store events and auctions where you can get your hands on rare finds.

15.  Drink the world on tap at Goodbeer Faucets

• Craft beer pubs

Like a craft beer bar on steroids, the awkwardly named Goodbeer Faucets has over 40 microbrews on tap, served in a slick chrome-and-concrete setting.

16.  Lick a long ice cream at Shiroichi

• Ice-cream parlours
• price 1 of 4

Shiroichi’s cones are something to marvel at. These soft serves are unusually long and thin, so you’ll want to devour yours quickly before it melts or topples over. That’s not hard to do, though – the fresh milk frozen treat is utterly irresistible.

17.  Eat some sophisticated soba at Ryan

Tokyo has no shortage of excellent traditional soba noodle restaurants. But for a creative and contemporary – yet entirely authentic – take on soba, visit Ryan in Shibuya.  The soba menu ranges from plain chilled soba served with a rich dashi-based dipping sauce to more complex offerings like hot soba with anago (sea eel) and vegetable tempura.

18.  Peruse novelty knick-knacks at Hands Shibuya

From stationery to toilet-seat covers, this is the largest household goods store in Tokyo, packed with knick-knacks for the home. Particularly interesting is the party supplies section, which gives a unique glimpse into the Japanese sense of humour. It can be difficult to find your way around the multitude of floors, but getting a bit lost is part of the fun, right? 

19.  Visit the site where Shibuya got its name at Konno Hachimangu Shrine

• Religious buildings and sites

This quiet little shrine marks the spot where the aristocratic Shibuya family, believed to have given the area its name, once lived. The shrine is designated as a tangible cultural property by Shibuya ward and is also home to a number of treasures including a pair of lion masks carved by craftsman Hidari Jingoro and a   mikoshi   (portable shrine), which is used during festivals.

20.  Go vegan at Izakaya Masaka

Hidden among the cool restaurants of  Shibuya Parco ’s Chaos Kitchen, this  shitamachi  (downtown) izakaya-style restaurant serves only vegan dishes. The main dish is the mock karaage made with soy meat instead of chicken, which comes in five different flavours including grated radish, Chinese black vinegar, Sichuan style hot and spicy, sweet and sour, and teriyaki mayonnaise.

21.  Dine at a restaurant run by robots at Pepper Parlor

Located on the fifth floor of  Shibuya Fukuras  in Tokyu Plaza Shibuya, this cutting-edge café-lounge is not about spicy food; it’s name is derived from Pepper, the adorable semi-humanoid robot created by SoftBank Robotics. Just head to the counter where Pepper will take your order (in Japanese, English and Chinese), as well as recommend dishes based on your current mood.

22.  Marvel at world-famous art at Nanzuka 2G

An offshoot of Tokyo gallery Nanzuka Underground, 2G is located inside the trendy Parco shopping centre and is an art gallery and retail store offering cool collabs with some big name artists. Expect to find T-shirts and phone cases with prints by Hajime Sorayama, as well as collectables like Bearbricks and more.  The gallery space in the back shows a rotation of exciting Japanese and international artists including installations by Tetsuya Nakamura and contemporary pieces by Daniel Arsham.

23.  Bite into perfectly crisp katsu at Torikatsu Chicken

This hidden gem of a restaurant looks like it’s stuck in the ’70s, from its location in a forgotten back-alley building and old-school interior to its surprisingly low prices. It specialises in cutlets – meat and vegetables breaded with panko and deep fried. The popular set meal, which comes with a chicken cutlet, ham cutlet and croquette plus rice, miso soup and shredded cabbage, is only ¥800 – it’s arguably the best value meal in central Shibuya.

24.  Show off your best hip hop moves at Harlem

Located in the same building as Club Atom, Harlem has been the mecca of hip-hop culture in Japan since the mid 1990s. If you want to see B-boys and fly girls shakin’ it, as well as some of Japan’s up-and-coming MCs, this is the spot. The tunes are basically straight-up rap with a little R&B mixed in. DJ Hazime and other well-known Japanese spinners often play here.

25.  Gaze at the stars at Cosmo Planetarium Shibuya

The high-tech digital projector isn’t the only modern convenience at this planetarium: some of the seats also rotate individually, allowing you to behold the cosmos at your own leisure.

26.  Snag sushi for a steal at Sushi Tokyo Ten Shibuya

Looking for an omakase sushi meal that won’t break the bank? Edo-style sushi specialist Sushi Tokyo Ten has one of the best deals in town. Don’t be put off by its classy décor; dinner omakase is just ¥8,800 a person, but the lunch set is an even bigger steal, coming in at just ¥4,400 a person (weekdays only).

27.  Catch a cinematic concert at WWW

The tiered floor is a dead giveaway: WWW was an arthouse cinema before it found its current vocation as a gig spot. Sister venue WWW X upstairs boasts an even more powerful sound system.

28.  Enter a fashion fantasy at Archive Store

• Vintage shops

Hidden in a basement away from the busy streets of Shibuya, Archive Store is a treasure trove for fans of coveted Japanese and international designers such as Comme des Garçons, Yohji Yamamoto, Martin Margiela and Raf Simons. The store is worth a visit in its own right for its edgy, hyper-modern interior fitted with mirrored walls and a mysterious, dimly lit atmosphere. 

29.  Try out futuristic accommodation at The Millennials

Think of it as a 21st-century take on the capsule hotel: each guest stays in a tiny but comfy ‘smart pod’, complete with remotely adjustable lighting and recline, plus a projector for watching movies.

30.  Sip on a seasonal cocktail at Ishinohana

• Cocktail bars

Seasonal cocktails are the speciality at Ishinohana, Shibuya's answer to the high-end cocktail bars of Ginza. At a basement location just a minute's walk from Shibuya Station, owner Shinobu Ishigaki wields an array of fresh fruit and vegetables when creating his distinctive drinks: a gin and tonic is enlivened with kumquat, a margherita gets an injection of housemade cassis confiture.

31.  Dance the night away at Womb

Womb is a top-flight club with a vast dancefloor, great lighting, a super-bass sound system and what claims to be ‘Asia’s largest mirror ball’. House, techno and drum ’n’ bass are the usual sounds here. Womb’s schedule is packed with foreign names, but DJ Aki (drum ’n’ bass) is one local hero who plays here.

32.  Play a round of ping pong at EST

A saving grace for fans of indoor recreation, EST Shibuya is a playground of ping pong tables, billiards and bowling alleys. There are four floors reserved for bowling alleys alone, where if you’re hungry you can order a snack from the touch panels available at every lane.

Further from Shibuya Station

33.  hang out, oslo-style at fuglen tokyo.

Bringing some Norwegian flair to a remote corner of Shibuya, this bar and café serves top-notch coffee by day and classy cocktails at night. Like the retro furniture? You can buy that, too.

34.  Pick up a book or two at Daikanyama Tsutaya Books

In a perfect world, all bookshops would be like this. Tokyo's Klein Dytham Architecture won an award at the World Architecture Festival for their work on Daikanyama T-Site, which is spread across three interlinked buildings adorned with lattices of interlocking Ts. That 'T' stands for rental chain Tsutaya, whose seemingly bottomless pockets helped fund the kind of book emporium that most capital cities can only dream of.

35.  Fill up on takoyaki at Tempu

There are few things more satisfying than a fresh batch of takoyaki (octopus balls) after a long night of karaoke, best paired with a frothy cold beer. Tempu owner Masahide Sakuramoto is from Osaka, where the dish originates. He serves perfectly golden brown spheres fresh off the griddle in this brightly lit standing-only eatery where customers pour their own drinks and pass dishes to each other in cheerful comradery.

36.  Cool down with shaved ice at Sabo Okuno Shibuya

Taking over the space once occupied by famed kakigori café Sébastian –  which sadly closed in February 2023 – is Sabo Okuno Shibuya. This shop is run by Yasumasa Era, a kakigori specialist who also operates another well-known shaved ice shop called Saryou Okuman in Shinjuku.  The menu is mainly seasonal, with flavours like American cherry, peach and melon during the warmer months.

37.  Update your tableware collection at Yumiko Iihoshi Porcelain

Ceramic artist Yumiko Iihoshi’s retail outlet carries her eponymous brand’s entire line, known for its simple yet classic design and impeccable blend of style and convenience.  We also love how Iihoshi’s wares combine style and convenience – most of them can even be microwaved and are dishwasher safe.

38.  Spice up your eating adventures at Ryukyu Chinese Tama

This restaurant serves Okinawan and Chinese food but the taco rice they offer features Ozaki wagyu beef. Wine aficionados will appreciate the bottle-lined wall – the prices are written on the bottles so it’s easy to choose one that fits your budget.

39.  Stock up on quality bread at Levain Bakery

• Yoyogi-Hachiman

One of the pioneers of Tokyo’s artisanal bread scene, Levain has been serving its wild-yeast leavened bread and baked goods since the ’80s. Located on the ground floor of a residential apartment block in Shibuya’s trendy Tomigaya district, the cosy, den-like brick bakery and adjacent cafe is inspired by ‘a mountain cottage at the border of France and Switzerland’.

40.  Shop for designer deals at Ragtag Harajuku

• Consignment store

Ragtag has been pretty busy since its first branch popped up on Harajuku’s Takeshita-dori in 1985: the chain now has multiple branches across Japan, all specialising in secondhand designer clothing for men and women. The brand has recently relocated its Harajuku location to a shiny new two-storey building on Cat Street where you'll find womenswear on the ground floor and menswear up on the second.

41.  Snack on authentic egg tarts at Nata de Cristiano’s

Succulent egg custard, dusted with sugar and cinnamon and served in a light, crisp puff pastry case: once you've tried a good pastel de nata , there's no going back. Though it's already been popularised in Japan by Macau import Lord Stow's Bakery (and, less convincingly, KFC), you can now get an authentically Portuguese rendition of this classic delicacy in Tomigaya, not far from Yoyogi Park.

42.  Browse a curated selection of vinyl at Ella Records

• Yoyogi-Uehara

Formerly based in Setagaya’s Kamimachi, Ella Records picked up and moved to Nishihara, in between Hatagaya and Yoyogi-Uehara stations, in summer 2016. The warm, wooden interior houses an impressive selection of rock, soul, jazz, rare groove and Japanese oldies, and you can often spot Shibuya-based DJs browsing the racks in search of filling for their jazz and groove sets.

43.  Walk a cute pup from Dog Heart from Aquamarine

Unlike other animal cafés, Dog Heart doesn’t have a food or drink menu and you either pay to spend time with the dogs or rent one to take out for a stroll. Dog Heart houses 30 dogs that are switched out daily on rotation, with 12 of them available to play with during any given visit.

44.  Pick up a vegan fruit sando at Fruits and Season

• Sandwich shop

Vegans rejoice! Although Japan’s famous fruit sandwiches might sound vegan-friendly, most use cream and sliced bread containing milk or eggs. But herbivores can tuck into these luxurious fruit sandwiches with egg- and dairy-free shokupan, filled with fruit and soy-based whipped cream.

45.  Eat your way around the world at Eat Play Works

Located along Hiroo's main shopping street, this multi-purpose building boasts 16 restaurants spread over two floors, offering everything from Japanese and Mexican cuisine to specialities from Spain, Italy, France and the Middle East. Eat Play Works is also home to an outpost of the popular Blue Bottle Coffee shop.

46.  Upgrade your lifestyle at Farmer's Table

Located on the fourth floor of a nondescript building in Ebisu, this spacious store houses everything from fashion, Chemex coffee equipment and door mats, to fine jewellery, antique glassware and other little trinkets. Clothing comes in the form of closet staples like simple T-shirts and hoodies, and even a selection of shoes.

47.  Grab coffee and doughnuts at Higuma Doughnuts + Coffee Wrights

This light and airy café space situated behind the bustling streets of Omotesando and Harajuku is a mashup of two Tokyo institutions: Coffee Wrights and Higuma Doughnuts. Serving, well, coffee and doughnuts, we can’t think of a better combination to lift our spirits. The venue also offers plenty of seating, with indoor benches and tables in the sunken café space, as well as outdoor benches stretching out from the expansive floor-to-ceiling windows.

48.  Find yourself the perfect white tee at #FFFFFFT

The curiously named #FFFFFFT (it’s pronounced shiro-tii, meaning ‘white tee’) says it’s the world’s first store dedicated to the classic white T-shirt. The shop gets its name from the hexadecimal colour code for – you guessed it – white, and offers a curated selection of white T-shirts from different brands around the globe.

49.  Pair wine and music at Studio Mule

At this hideaway wine bar, owner Toshiya Kawasaki takes the Japanese concept of a listening bar – where the proprietor plays their own collection of records on a high-end audio system – and combines it with his love of natural wine.

50.  Get a streetwear makeover at the Human Made Offline Store

The Human Made Offline Store has found a new home in Harajuku after moving from their previous spot in Nakameguro. You’ll find more than just cool clothing and accessories here. The shop also doubles as a Blue Bottle café, where you can order drinks and purchase special coffee beans including two Human Made Blue Bottle coffee blends.

• Stories & Guides
• Shibuya Shopping Guide

Navigate Tokyo's center of youth culture and shop Shibuya like a local

Shibuya Hikarie

A little more mature than Shibuya109, Shibuya Hikarie is an elegant outlet that features a broad selection of consumer goods, from clothing to homeware, to food. If you need to rest your legs during a shopping marathon, the department store also has a number of on-site restaurants serving up a selection of local and international cuisine.

Tower Records

Shibuya mark city.

If convenience is your main priority, head to Shibuya Mark City — a commercial complex practically woven into the framework of Shibuya Station. A popular discount shop Daiso takes up real estate in here, with it's new lifestyle shop offering daily necessities, tablewares and clothings, alongside much loved local brands, and you'll find plenty to fill your shopping bags with at Mark City.

Shibuya Shopping Guide

Shibuya in Tokyo is energetic, vibrant and one of the most popular shopping destinations not only in Japan but in the world. The district is large, almost maze-like in places, and filled with considerable crowds. From large scale department stores and malls to small boutique shops and quaint cafes, Shibuya is a hub of fashion showcasing the styles and trends of Tokyo ’s youth and a place to buy almost anything. Whatever you are looking to buy, here is our Shibuya shopping guide to help you navigate your way through the bustling streets.

How to get to Shibuya District for your shopping spree

To start your shopping in Shibuya spree experience you will likely want to get off at Shibuya Station, one of the busiest train stations in the world. You can access the famous Shibuya Crossing which can be directly accessed from the train station exit. If you are traveling from Shinjuku Station to Shibuya, you will take the Yamanote Line directly to Shibuya Station which is approximately 10 minutes. If you are traveling from Tokyo Station you can also take the Yamanote Line directly to Shibuya Station which will take about 25 minutes.

While the possibilities are endless for shopping in Shibuya, here are some of the main highlights that you should explore while in the shopping district.

Mega Don Quijote (‘Mega Donki’)

This mega version of one of Japan’s most popular convenience stores is a tax-free shopping haven in Shibuya where you can purchase almost anything from eyelash curlers and face masks to instant noodle soup and fresh sushi. If you want to stock up on cosmetics, medicine, electronics, and food this is the place to buy, especially when you are looking for souvenirs to bring home. Mega Don Quijote is a one-stop-shop and it is also immaculately clean and well-organized which make the shopping experience quite unique.

This is a great way to connect to the street style, infused with Hello Kitty and modern trends, the shops found throughout this giant store are sure to have the latest concepts. Keep in mind that Japanese sizes tend to run small, and often these shops sell a “one size fits all” style. Shopping at Shibuya 109 is intended to feel like a fashion community and the heart of Shibuya fashion culture.

Tokyu Hands

Tokyu Hands is a part of the Tokyu Department store, but this store is a DIY paradise filled with arts and craft materials. The floors are separated by category making it easy to find what you are looking for, and along the way find things you didn’t even know you needed. From tote bags to stationary and housewares, the products plentiful. It is easy to spend time in Tokyu Hands shopping and exploring the wide range of products, it is unlikely you will leave empty-Tokyu-handed.

In the Shibuya Shopping district, among the large department stores and malls, you will also find Takeshita Dori street, a pedestrian shopping street lined with shops and cafes and the core of Japanese street style which can be seen on the young trendsetters in the area. Large crowds will fill the pathways of both locals and tourists and this is the way to see the trends both on the street as well as on display in the stores.

Shibuya Tokyo – things to do + ultimate guide with photos

1. shibuya scramble crossing.

Perhaps the number one thing to do in Shibuya, Scramble crossing is said to be the world’s busiest pedestrian crossing, with hundreds of thousands of commuters and visitors crossing the four way intersection every day.

Best viewed from Starbucks Shibuya Tsutaya or the nearby malls, you also have to experience and traverse Shibuya Scramble Crossing for yourselves – it can be quite a challenge during peak periods.

A fun activity by day or even in Tokyo at night, Shibuya Scramble Crossing is a spectacular site – the annual New Year’s Eve celebrations here are pretty spectacular too (crowds still turn up every year despite there being no fireworks of NYE time ball anymore).

We’ve seen some stats saying over 2 million people cross Shibuya Scramble everyday but we are calling BS – it is busy but not THAT busy.

Try this – Top Shibuya tours and activities with Viator >

2. Shibuya 3D Billboards

Two of Tokyo’s most famous 3D billboards can be found in Shibuya – the panda 3D billboard and the Akita Inu puppy dog 3D billboard.

Close to Shibuya Scramble Crossing, this awesome Akita Inu bounds between several screens (so clever!) playing frisbee, bursting out of a clock and generally getting up to fun and mischief – it is seamless.

The playful 3D dog also gets an elevator between screens and attracts huge crowds every day.

Easy to spot and one of the smaller 3D billboards in Japan, the nearby 3D panda is at the start of Shibuya Center Gai, a few steps from the Starbucks Shibuya Tsutaya.

This particular 3D billboard in Japan is also famous for having appearances from famous characters or Japanese personalities for a limited time.

Check out our guide to all of Tokyo’s 3D billboards >

3. Mega Don Quijote Shibuya

Mega Don Quijote stores are massive in Japan – literally. Often referred to as Mega Donkis, these are the extra large Don Quijote Japan shops selling everything from Japanese Kit Kats to gachapon capsule toys .

Shibuya is home to Japan’s largest Don Quijote – Mega Don Quijote. With eight floors of purchasing pleasure plus you can even try the legendary 10 Yen cheese pancake!

In the basement, you’ll find all your foods (including Nissin Cup Noodles and alcohol).

On the third floor, you’ll find cosmetics and toiletries, gadgets and electrical goods on level 6.

Looking for Studio Ghibli gifts or Sanrio souvenirs at MEGA Don Quijote? Head to floor 7 for one of Tokyo’s largest Kawaii and character selections (including Kirby and Hello Kitty) plus travel goods.

4. Hachikō Memorial Statue

Japan’s most famous dog, Hachikō was a faithful hound (Japanese Akita Dog) who waited for his master every day outside Shibuya train station for almost 10 years after his owner’s death (so sad).

Hachikō’s owner, Hidesaburō Ueno, would leave for work every day and Hachikō would stroll on down to Shibuya station at the same every day to greet him home. This continued for 9 years and 9 months after Ueno’s death, until Hachikō also died.

There have been several Hachikō Memorial Statues cast (the original from the 1930s was recast to help with the war effort) and the current Hachiko dog statue outside Shibuya station has been there since 1948.

Every March 8 is Hachikō day when 100s of dog owners and well-wishers congregate by the statue to remember Japan’s most loyal dog.

5. Starbucks Shibuya Tsutaya (new design for 2024)

Tokyo’s most famous Starbucks and the best place to watch the surreal Shibuya crossing scramble, Starbucks Shibuya Tsutaya has reopened for summer 2024 after a massive redesign.

The new Starbucks Shibuya Tsutaya is in the same location as before but with an improved open-plan layout and huge curving LED screens inside displaying digital art – we’re sure you’ll like the new Starbucks a ‘latte’.

The second floor has the seating area with the iconic crossing view, whilst the ground floor is for takeaway coffees.

6. Mag’s Park Rooftop Shibuya Crossing

For the ultimate brews with views, head to the Magnet Rooftop bar, also known as Mag’s Park.

Located atop Shibuya 109 Mall (more on this in a mo), Mag’s Park Rooftop Bar charges around 1,500 Yen for the view with an alcoholic or soft drink (around £7.50 or $9.50 USD).

The space is quite small but it is a nice place to soak up Shibuya’s cityscape day or not.

Magnet Bar / Mag’s Park Rooftop is open daily from 10am to 10pm – the 1,500 Yen entry is correct as of summer 2024.

7. Shibuya 109 Mall

Packed full of cute cafes, fashion stores and clothing outlets (plus the odd gachapon ), Shibuya 109 mall is close to the Shibuya crossing and popular with Japan’s youth.

From cosplay costumes to the latest ‘Jirai Kei’ and ‘gyaru’ fashions, Shibuya 109 has around 150 sartorial stores across 10 levels, including regular Kawaii pop-ups like the One Piece Mugiwara store.

8. Shibuya Tsutaya

Similar to Starbucks Shibuya (located in this very building), Shibuya Tsutaya has recently reopened in 2024 after major renovations and is a nine storey mall and multimedia complex.

If you’ve been before, you’ll notice the layout is quite different with all of the DVD and CD rental floors now removed (which has moved online) and lots more events spaces. The outdoor rooftop remains the same.

As well as cafes and lounges, the new Shibuya Tsutaya promises several floors of pop-up events, shops and stores from awesome anime and cute Kawaii exhibits to Manga and more.

9. Shibuya Center Gai

The heart and soul of Shibuya, Center Gai is a narrow street packed full of chain restaurants , convenience stores , fashion shops and nightclubs.

One of the best places to explore in Tokyo at night, Shibuya Center Gai is an atmospheric alley-way and neon nirvana, home to pubs, bars and one of the city’s best collection of sneaker and record stores.

A bit like Akihabara or Kabukicho in Shinjuku , join all of Tokyo’s cool kids with a Shibuya Center Gai shopping or supping session.

10. Shibuya Mandarake Tokyo

Mandarake stores in Japan are otaku heaven – from second hand games to retro toys, Mandarake is one of Japan’s most famous second hand and used good shops.

The Mandarake shop that started our second-hand store obsession in Japan was Shibuya Mandarake, a bargain basement of DVDs, dolls, anime models and more.

You walk down several sets of dark stairs before arriving in what can only be described as an atmospheric basement of bargains – aisle upon aisle of awesome anime goods and amazing manga dolls and comic books.

The collection of vintage toy cars and character goods like Doraemon and trading cards is bar none!

Read our guide to Mandarake stores in Japan or Super Potato retro gaming stores in Japan .

Shibuya’s sparkling and shiny shopping mall, Shibuya Parco has so many good stores to browse, from e-sports cafes to Shibuya Pokémon Center, plus a basement with multiple restaurants and bars.

Best of all, Shibuya Parco has a sublime rooftop garden that is free to visit and a great way to see the sunset.

Perhaps the flagship store is the Nintendo Tokyo, Japan’s only permanent Nintendo shop and located on the 6th floor.

Featuring games galore, character models plus trading cards and more, be prepared to queue to get into Nintendo Tokyo at the weekends and during school holidays.

For one of the more high ‘spirited’ things to do in Shibuya Parco, check out this sake bar that uses technology to detect your sake preferences and then creates your very own personalised sake.

13. Shibuya Sky

One of Shibuya’s top things to do, we recommend booking a Shibuya Sky ticket in advance , as it often sells out days in advance.

For unparalleled panoramic (360 degree) views of Tokyo, Shibuya Sky is a stunning outdoor observation deck (be aware it closes in bad weather).

View this post on Instagram A post shared by SHIBUYA SKY / 渋谷スカイ (@shibuya_sky)

Located atop the Shibuya Scramble Square on the 47th, Shibuya Sky is located 750 feet up and gives Tokyo Skytree a run for its money in terms of ‘ best Tokyo observation deck’ .

On a clear day, you can even see Mount Fuji in the distance (if you don’t get too distracted by the aerial view of Shibuya Scramble Crossing below).

14. Miyashita Park

Where to start with Miyashita Park ? One of the most characterful and best shopping centres in Tokyo , Miyashita Park has a gorgeous rooftop park , a whole row of themed restaurants plus cafes and cute Kawaii pop-ups galore.

From a Studio Ghibli GBL clothing store to sublime sneakers, Miyashita Park is Shibuya’s premier shopping experience (with loads of international and Japanese eateries to ‘reward’ yourself afterwards).

Even if you don’t want to shop until you drop, the Miyashita Rooftop Park is a nice place to escape the hustle and bustle of Shibuya, and is a popular place with families with playgrounds for small children and a skateboard park for teens, plus a small climbing wall.

• Vegan ramen tour >

16. Shibuya Yokocho

The best way to describe Shibuya Yokocho? Yum, yum yum – or even ‘Kanpai!’.

An epic epicurean evening experience (try saying that after several sakes), Shibuya Yokocho is an awesome alleyway of traditional izakaya bars and Japanese restaurants, recreated by a modern building (so it is all ‘fake’ old).

A short walk from Shibuya Station, all of the bars and outdoor chairs and tables in close proximity make for an atmospheric night out – you can even try the famous sumo wrestling stew, Chanko Nabe.

Inside, gaze at vintage interiors lit by lanterns and retro stalls like candy shops or an old bath house – Shibuya Yokocho is sublime for a post-sunset session of sake and skewers; you’re welcome!

Try this – Shibuya Cycling Cruise >

17. Nonbei Yokocho

Or as it means in Japanese, ‘Drinkers Alley’ – so yes, Nonbei Yokocho is certainly our kind of place!

A couple of small lanes of candle-lit bars, interesting izakayas and retro ramen restaurants Nonbei Yokocho has been around since the 1950s and is a popular salaryman spot after work.

Lit by lanterns, this place is ‘snoozeville’ by day but an entertaining evening may lie ahead in Shibuya.

18. Love Hotel Hill

If you feel the need to rent a hotel by the hour in Shibuya (lucky you), head to the Love Hotel Hill (we explored here but just to visit the Mikkeller Tokyo craft beer bar – honest).

Tokyo is known for its love hotels and Shibuya is a hotspot of hourly hotels, known for their affairs and romantic themed rooms.

It is quite the weird experience and you can even see some quite weird and wonderful posters in the hotel windows where you can rent ‘toy’s and the like.

Probably not somewhere you will want to visit with your parents or elderly relatives.

PS If you don’t get lucky on Love Hotel Hill, you can always check out our ‘stimulating’ guide to TENGA, Japan’s biggest love toy company >

19. Craft Beer Bars

Kanpai to Tokyo’s craft beer bar scene , with several craft beer bars in Shibuya (plus dozens of izakayas to enjoy).

Some of our favourite Shibuya craft beer bars and brewery pubs include:

Y.Y.G Brewery & Beer Kitchen Shibuya

One of the best Tokyo brewery bars is Y.Y.G Brewery & Beer Kitchen Shibuya, founded in 2015 and tucked away in a side-street near Yoyogi Park.

With a cosy taproom located in the heart of the brewery and around 15 of their own brews on tap (with a restaurant on the top floor), this is a nice place to spend some time after Shibuya sightseeing.

ØL by Oslo Brewing Co

Nippon meets Norway. The calm before the Shibuya Crossing storm, we spent New Year’s Eve at Tokyo’s ØL by Oslo Brewing Co, a charming taproom with over 20 craft beers on tap.

A cosy & welcoming bar awaits with street-food available outside, a nice respite from the usual hustle and bustle of Shibuya.

We found this to be a good way to spend a cold winter’s night ‘hibernating’ with hops and chugging some tasty Tokyo craft beer.

Mikkeller Tokyo

Located near Shibuya’s (in)famous ‘Love Hotel Hill’, Mikkeller’s Tokyo taproom is a little out of the way making the end result (20 beers on tap) all the more rewarding.

Mikkeller is a compact, candle-lit bar with a good gathering of locals and tourists (possibly popping in from a ‘Love hotel – who knows?!).

It had one of the best selections of international craft beers in Shibuya of all the bars we went to.

Please note the legal drinking age in Japan is 20 years of age – please drink responsibly.

20. Yoyogi Park

Containing the famous Meiji Jingu shrine, Yoyogi Park is where the locals go to escape the hustle and bustle of the city.

It began life as the Tokyo Olympic Village in the 1960s before becoming a pretty public park and well-used recreation space.

A green oasis in the city and covering over 130 acres, Yoyogi Park is buzzing at the weekends with families, joggers and young groups (plus really cute dogs, often in prams).

Yoyogi Park is a popular Tokyo cherry blossom / sakura spot in Spring and red gingko tree hotspot in Autumn.

Yoyogi Park is free to visit and is one of the biggest urban parks in Tokyo .

Love parks? Check out our guide to Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden in Tokyo >

21. Cat Street

No, not a street full of cat cafes ; Cat Street is the main walking route from Shibuya to Harajuku (or vice versa) full of cute cafes, hip hangouts and super cool shops.

From the shiny new RAGTAG second hand clothing store (newly opened for 2024 after closing the old store down) to Oakley and On Tokyo (plus the Adidas Originals flagship store), there is much to peruse along Cat Street.

If you are ‘feline’ like after an afternoon of coolhunting and vintage vibes, take a prowl along Cat Street or the hidden gems and under the radar boutiques in the surrounding alley-ways.

22. Pokémon Center Shibuya

Pokémon Center Shibuya in Tokyo is one of Japan’s biggest Pokémon stores – because you’ve gotta catch ‘em all!

Located on the 6th floor of Shibuya Parco, this Pokémon Center Mega Tokyo is packed full of all your favourite Pokémon characters including exclusive Pokémon Japan merchandise, trading card games.

There is also a weird and wonderful floating Mewtwo center-piece (quite different from all the other Tokyo Pokémon Centers). This is a great place to drop by if you are visiting Tokyo with kids.

23. New Years Eve in Shibuya

A quick mention that if you happen to be in Tokyo on New Year’s Eve, Shibuya is usually NYE central in Tokyo.

We saw in New Years Eve in Tokyo in Shibuya a couple of years ago, the year Japan reopened to tourists after the COVID Pandemic. Whilst there were no official celebrations like fireworks or an official countdown, tens of thousands of people congregated on the Shibuya Scramble Crossing.

It was all quite good fun (especially given all the izakayas, craft beer bars and cheap restaurants in the area) plus a huge police presence kept it safe and a sweet night out in Shibuya.

24. The SG Club (Sip and Guzzle)

Looking for some sleek and sumptuous cocktails? Head on down to the SG Club, an ‘Old Fashioned’ cocktail basement bar and lounge (often served in themed glasses like skulls – kitsch is now cool)!

View this post on Instagram A post shared by The SG Club (@the_sg_club)

Ranked as one of Asia’s best bars, the SG Club stands for Sip and Guzzle (at these prices, I know which I’ll be doing) and is a cute and cosy bar favoured by tourists and expats. Sip is the upper lounge bar by the way whilst Guzzle is the basement bar.

Some of the cocktail names are also quite fun, like their signature Golden Guy cocktail and Cheek to Cheek.

25. Daiso Standard Products Shibuya store

Daiso Japan is one of the best lifestyle and discount product shops in Japan, with branches now popping up all over the world.

Famous for their original 100 Yen products (now often costing a bit more), this Shibuya Daiso store is a little different.

Opened in 2021 and located in Shibuya Mark City, the Daiso Standard Products store is a cut above your usual Daiso. Yes it has all your cheap and cheerful products but it also sells nice homeware and linen (some of which might fit in your suitcase).

A cross between IKEA and Muji, Standard Products is a great place for stylish souvenirs and a little different from your usual Daiso.

Shibuya (�a�J) is one of the 23 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. Numerous department stores and shopping malls can be found around the area catering to all types of shoppers. Many of the area's large shopping complexes belong to either Tokyu or Seibu , two competing corporations.

Shibuya's most prominent landmark is the busy intersection in front of the station's Hachiko Exit . The intersection is heavily decorated by neon advertisements and giant video screens and gets flooded by pedestrians each time the lights turn green, making it a popular photo spot.

Shibuya Station and surroundings are currently undergoing major redevelopment , lasting almost two decades. Several new buildings have opened over recent years, including Shibuya Hikarie (in 2012), Shibuya Stream (2018), Shibuya Scramble Square (2019) and Miyashita Park (2020), and more will be opening until works are completed around 2028. In addition, the flow of pedestrian traffic around the station is gradually being improved.

Shopping in Shibuya: 3 Hot Souvenir Shops and Popular Products Among Tourists!

Going shopping in Shibuya ? You're in good company! This trend-setting Japanese town is popular among avid shoppers of all nationalities because of the mesmerizing amount of shops with interesting wares that will keep anyone busy for days! Needless to say, plenty of shops here sell items that would be perfect to bring home as souvenirs too. Here we'll be introducing our top picks for souvenir shops to check out during a Shibuya shopping trip, with a focus on shops that contain uniquely Japanese items that are bound to delight anyone back home you gift them to!

1. Shibuya Loft: All the functional items you can name!

Our first pick is Shibuya Loft, one of the more popular shopping areas in Shibuya . This building faces Inokashira Street and contains plenty of top brands like Zara and Forever21. The building itself is a massive complex with six floors and deals with a wide variety of products including skincare, health goods, kitchen wares, character mascot merchandise, household goods, and more. The place is also staffed with foreign employees or employees capable of speaking foreign languages, making it a popular destination for international visitors.

You have to check out their functional general goods if you happen to be here, especially the water flasks and foldable umbrellas! A staggering amount of the everyday essentials on sale here have been designed to be as compact and lightweight as possible for better portability, and as a result have been hot items to bring home as souvenirs for many.

"Piketle" is an ultracompact water flask that weighs a mere 120 grams (about 4.2 ounces) and can hold 120 milliliters (about 4 liquid ounces) of water. The flask is so small, it can fit right inside your pocket! The equally light cost of 1,200 yen (tax excluded) makes it an easy and happy purchase as well!

Another popular item is the "Extra Light Umbrella", a 69 gram (about 2.4 ounces) ultralight foldable umbrella that costs 2,900 yen (tax excluded). Japan's foldable umbrellas are known for their sturdy build, and this umbrella - light as it may be - is no exception. No wonder it's so popular among our international friends!

Foldable eco bags are often found in the suitcases of travelers for the convenience they provide, but not being able to fold it back the proper way again after use is a woe many - perhaps even yourself! - often contend with. For those perplexed by such troubles, we recommend the 1,980 yen (tax excluded) Shupatto eco bag. Its simple design allows you to fold the bag up properly after use by simply pulling the handles on both sides. The bag's large volume when unfolded is a selling point that attracts many local residents as well.

Here's another exceptional item for your consideration: The "Tombow Pencil's Dual Calligraphy and Brush Pen" set which comes with 12 colors for 3,600 yen (tax excluded) or 300 yen (tax excluded) for a single pen. Each pen is both a color felt pen and calligraphy pen, so it's like getting two for the price of one! There are 108 colors available in all, making it a good showcase of the color aesthetics of Japan, so many find this stationery an ideal product to buy home as a souvenir as well. The tax-free counter is on the 6th floor. Don't forget to visit it after paying for all your goods!

• Address 21-1 Udagawa-cho, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo-to
• Nearest Station 3 minutes walk from Exit 3 of Shibuya Station on the Ginza, Fukutoshin, Hanzomon, Tokyu Den-en-toshi Lines; 5 minutes walk from Hachiko Exit of Shibuya Station on the JR Lines
• Phone Number 03-3462-3807

Hours: 10:00 a.m. – 9:00 p.m. Closed: Open daily

2. Ainz & Tulpe: Array of useful products for your selection

The Shibuya branch of Ainz & Tulpe is located at Shibuya Koen Dori, a street that is tightly packed with shops and bustling with visitors all hours of the day and night. The main focus of this drug store is beauty and health products, so be prepared to find plenty of skincare items, cosmetics, medical products and other related wares here. The store is very popular among South Korean and Chinese travelers. Many even come here to buy their favorite cosmetics and skincare products in bulk!

The "Anessa Perfect UV Skincare Milk" will set you back 3,000 yen (tax excluded) and is a product that will help you face the upcoming summer season with confidence. Its efficiency is attested to by the fact that many local Japanese are loyal buyers as well. This sunscreen isn't just for blocking out powerful UV rays. With half of its formula dedicated to skincare components, one of its distinguishing features is how gentle it is on the skin as well.

Makeup often falls apart much faster during summer , and that's why we recommend the "Primavista Anti-Smear Makeup Base" that goes for 2,800 yen (tax excluded). Its oil prevention formula can keep your face feeling fresh and comfortably dry for an entire day.

For those concerned about facial pores and skin elasticity, there's always the "Obagi C25 Serum Neo". The latest entry to the popular Obagi series, this serum may seem slightly pricey at 10,000 yen, but is absolutely worth every yen for its amazing efficiency. It's the perfect present to reward yourself with, or buy as a souvenir for someone you love back home.

If you've ever seen the "Kocostar Rose Lip Mask", you'll understand why some people buy this 2,315 yen (tax excluded) lip mask product just for its eye-catching packaging! The "K-Palette Real Lasting Eyeliner 24hWP" being sold here also comes with a special packaging that can only be found in Ainz & Tulpe, and it goes for 1,200 yen (tax excluded). What we've mentioned are just a few of the more prominent products popularly bought as souvenirs, but there are a lot of other suitable items to be found in the store as well. A trip down to Ainz & Tulpe will definitely be well worth a good slice of your shopping time!

The shop is a short four minutes’ walk from Shibuya Station and there is a tax-free counter in basement level one. If you follow the Ainz & Tulpe Weibo or WeChat official accounts, you'll get a 5% discount on purchases of over 30,000 yen in the store. This discount goes up to 8% for purchases amounting to 50,000 yen and above (may be adjusted after 1st July, 2019). Depending on the day of your visit, you'll also have access to staff capable of speaking foreign languages, so you don't need to know Japanese to enjoy shopping here. You won't regret making this shop one of your Shibuya shopping stops!

• Address B1F to 1F, NMF Shibuya Koen Dori Building, 20-17 Udagawa-cho, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo-to
• Nearest Station 4 minute walk from Hachiko Exit of Shibuya station
• Phone Number 03-6455-1782

Hours: 11:00 a.m. – 10:00 p.m.

3. Matsumoto Kiyoshi: For all your pharmaceutical needs

Drug store items have become many a traveler's go-to products to buy home as souvenirs, and if you're thinking of doing the same, then step right in to Matsumoto Kiyoshi! Their Shibuya Part1 store is open 24 hours a day and located quite near the iconic Shibuya 109. This is especially helpful for travelers who may have forgotten to do souvenir shopping and urgently need to get something at an unconventional hour. The store is also tax-free, which is always a plus! It's a given that you'll find pharmaceutical products in a pharmacy , but don't forget to check out the impressive lineup of cosmetics, skincare items, and daily essentials here as well. You can also find goods from popular international brands like Shiseido, Kosé, and Kanebo in the shop.

Out of the staggering variety of products available here, we recommend focusing on the Matsumoto Kiyoshi originals that are always great value for money. Their "Evaresh White 270 Tablets" (medical product) is especially popular among foreign visitors! Formulated to stimulate skin metabolism and encourage melanin excretion, it has a good effect on wrinkles and freckles. More importantly, it'll also likely help to mitigate the bad effects of sunburn and pigmentation for the upcoming summer season !

Remember to check out "Matsukiyo Lab Protein Bar " as well, a non-medical product recommended by nationally certified dietitians that enjoys brisk sales. The protein bar comes in different all-time favorite flavors, like choco-strawberry or just plain chocolate , making it a pleasure to bite into for both sports athletes and individuals on a diet. Each bar costs a reasonable 118 yen (tax included) and can be bought in large quantities for personal consumption or as souvenirs. Here are some other interesting products you may want to consider: "Lulu Attack IB Ace 30 Tablets (1,980 yen, tax included)" is a combined medical pill formulated with 10 components known for their efficiency against flu symptoms. "Kurocure EX (848 yen, tax included)" is an ointment that tackles dark patches or dry spots on the elbows and knees and makes the skin there smooth and supple again. "Keana Nadeshiko Momomaru Kajiri Sodium Bicarbonate Foam Facial Wash (1,080 yen, tax included)" is yet another skincare product that foreigners love to buy home as a souvenir. Although the sheer amount of available products can be daunting at times, you can always make your shopping trip a little smoother for yourself by looking up the products you're interested in before heading down! * Info up-to-date as of April 2019 * Prices and product names subject to change without notice Written by: Kaitō Rika.

11 Best Things to Do in Shibuya

Shibuya is Tokyo’s youth mecca, never short of shopping complexes, bars, art, music and — luckily for us — things to do.

We’ve got all the highlights covered — where to score the best views and souvenirs, how to beat (or join!) the crowds, and recommendations for digging into Shibuya’s famous nightlife and music scene.

Note: You don’t need a lot of money to explore Shibuya; a lot of things to see and do are on the streets.

1. People watch at Shibuya Crossing

2. say “hi” to the iconic hachikō statue, 3. spend the day with art at a gallery.

• 4. Reach new heights at Shibuya Sky (and others)

5. Hunt for music

6. shop ‘til you drop.

• 7. Fill up on cheap sushi

8. Climb a wall at Miyashita Park

9. have a beer down a boozy back alley.

• 10. Dance the night away at a club

11. Explore Love Hotel Hill

Honourable mentions.

Pro tip: Make new friends and experience the local nightlife on a bar-hopping tour of Shibuya . Or if you want to try some uber-cool Japanese whiskey bars, try a members-only whiskey bar tour .

We can’t talk about Shibuya without mentioning the mega-famous Shibuya Scramble Crossing , so let’s start this list off with a bang of neon colors.

Every few minutes at this massive, noisy intersection, traffic lights turn red and swarms of pedestrians battle to cross the road. This is the iconic shot you see in the movies and social-media posts about Tokyo. When you’re not gawping at all the folks weaving and dodging, you can watch the giant Times Square-style digital billboards playing ads and the latest J-pop sensations’ music videos.

Don’t feel like battling the crowds? Get a birds-eye view of the crossing from Mag’s Park Rooftop ( ¥ 1,500 incl. one-drink), at a restaurant or cafe around the intersection, or from one of the skyscrapers in the area. See our how to photograph Shibuya Crossing guide for more tips.

Cheapo hack : We're not known to recommend Starbucks, but the branch at Shibuya Crossing merits a mention because a) it's said to be the busiest in the world, and b) it provides a good viewpoint over the intersection.-->

It’s practically required that you snap a pic of loyal dog Hachikō at least once when you visit Shibuya, or perhaps offer him a Puppuccino.

Follow the paw prints at Shibuya Station and you’ll find Hachikō, Shibuya Station’s mascot. Hachikō is the dog that waited faithfully at the station every day for his guardian, a professor, to come home from work. After the professor died, Hachikō continued to wait in the same spot every day until his own death. Today, the statue is probably the most popular meeting spot in Japan (good luck finding your date in a sea of people trying to do the same).

Other cool sculptures in the area include the Moyai Head on the south side of the station (bonus: this is a favorite spot for buskers), the naked children playing on an iron globe near the west exit, and the girl holding fruit in Dōgenzaka.

Pro tip: Speaking of cute animals, also keep your eyes out for Shibuya’s adorable 3D Akita Inu and 3D panda billboards.

Want to see contemporary art without paying steep entry fees? Check out one of the free art spots around Shibuya Station. On the north side, Diesel Art Gallery charges nothing to see exhibits of talented domestic and international artists. By Shibuya River, Inari Bridge Square has many outdoor exhibitions to see as you walk on by.

Meanwhile, the eighth floor of shopping complex Shibuya Hikarie (appropriately called 8/) has several gallery and event spaces for contemporary Japanese art. Also visit Gallery X by Parco to see interesting works by fun pop artists; the entry fee depends on the exhibition but is usually ¥ 500 .

Pro tip: On the less shiny side streets of Shibuya, you can find plenty of unusual and creative stickers plastered on lampposts, as well as graffiti-decorated walls. While some might call this vandalism, we think it’s a pretty cool scene.

4. Reach new heights at Shibuya Sky (and other buildings)

In recent years, many skyscrapers have risen up in Shibuya. So high that they have created unmissable, 360-degree views of Tokyo . At the tippy-top of the list is Shibuya Sky , which is on the 47th floor of Shibuya Scramble Square . It has great views of Shibuya Crossing and Mt. Fuji . This experience costs ¥ 1,800 ; book tickets online in advance , but we genuinely think it’s worth it.

There are also some cheaper views closer to earth. Shibu Niwa rooftop terrace on the 17th floor of Tokyu Plaza has an amazing night view of Shibuya. It’s free to access between 11 a.m. and 8 p.m.; you’ll need to have dinner or drinks to stay longer than that, though. And to get a snap of the famous intersection, you’ll have to ask a staff member for special access.

Shibuya Parco (free) boasts a beautiful open rooftop and the 11th-floor Sky Lobby in Shibuya Hikarie also has no charge, but the panorama is a little far from the action.

Tokyo’s music scene is explosive, and much of that spark is found in Shibuya. There’s an underground scene here that sees alternative bands playing backstreet shows. Crate diggers can also find plenty of records (new and old ) — be sure to check out our top recommendations .

You could also give Tower Records a visit. The store is still going strong in Japan, and offers a line-up of free mini-live shows almost every day of the week. These could be acoustic strumming, classical piano concertos, or full-on stage shows with strobe lights in the basement.

When in Shibuya, do as the locals do and shop, shop, shop. Places like Mega Don Quijote (which, by the way, is excellent for souvenirs ) are just too hard to resist. Also good for souvenir hunting are the emporiums of miscellanea Tokyu Hands and Loft . They sell all kinds of stationery, fun kitchen gadgets, and beauty supplies.

The most famous shopping destination in all of Shibuya is Shibuya 109 . For decades, Tokyo teens (and their suburban counterparts) have flocked to this beacon of trendy, fast fashion.

Department store Shibuya Parco is another local fashion landmark. The brands here skew a bit more high fashion — which makes it a great place to check out the latest looks — but there’s also a Nintendo boutique (something for everyone, right?).

Then there are the malls, like Shibuya Scramble Square , the aforementioned Tokyu Plaza , and Hikarie . These are part of Shibuya’s redevelopment and have neat design and architecture. Shibuya Modi’s overgrown entrance and the local Disney Store are also unique sights.

7. Go for sushi

Shibuya has become a destination for delicious, and (important to us) reasonably priced sushi . If you are looking for a true in-and-out Japanese experience, then try Standing Sushi Uogashi Nihonichi .

Tired legs and prefer to sit? There are some excellent kaiten-zushi — sushi counters where plates of sushi come round on conveyor belts — here, too. Katsu Midori is quite literally considered one of the best in the city, though there is usually a queue. Tenkazushi , in Dōgenzaka, meanwhile, is known to be a fantastic bargain.

Here’s some more budget sushi inspiration (including Shibuya suggestions, and some further afield). Sushi not your thing? Have some cash (but not much)? Then here are a handful of affordable Shibuya lunch spots with sets under ¥ 1,000 .

Miyashita Park is much more than just a shopping complex. On its roof, you’ll find a bouldering wall, a skate park, and a sand court (used for sports such as beach volleyball and soccer). There’s also plenty of space to hang out (and many do) late into the evening. Catch seasonal events, such as winter illuminations, or a party or two in event space Or .

At the base of the building, you’ll also find a sprawling yokocho, more on that below .

When sunset hits and lanterns start flickering on, it’s time to head to Shibuya’s signature retro drinking strip: Nonbei Yokochō . This yokochō — the word for side streets filled with tiny bars and restaurants — has been around for more than 70 years, and its vintage Shōwa-era style is a big part of the appeal. Incidentally, “nonbei” means “drinker” in Japanese, which gives you an idea as to the clientele and atmosphere.

A lot of people compare Nonbei to Golden Gai in Shinjuku, but we’ll let you be the judge. Like Golden Gai, there are some cheap-ish places to eat and drink here and some not-so-cheap places (though it can be a little hard to tell from the outside).

Miyashita Park also has a yokochō. Spilling out onto the street, these restaurants aren’t considered the best of Shibuya’s food scene, but they are a chill spot to have a drink in the open-air and take in the ambience of Shibuya. Add to the list Shibuya Parco’s basement floor, which is filled with interesting izakaya (including vegan and insect options ).

10. Dance the night away

The two top club spots in Tokyo are Roppongi and — you guessed it — Shibuya. Once the shops pack up, hordes of young people flock to the Dōgenzaka area to release their inhibitions and let loose. There are plenty of pre-club all-you-can-drink deals to be had in the surrounding vicinity, so you can be well-lubricated (and save on those pricey drinks) before going inside.

Some clubs offer discounted admission if you arrive by, say 11 p.m. We recommend Harlem for hip-hop and R&B lovers; if EDM is more your thing, check out Club Camelot .

You may also enjoy a night of karaoke at one of Shibuya’s endless establishments, like this one from Lost in Translation .

If you’re interested in wacky architecture or just some titillation, take a walk around the famed Love Hotel Hill in Shibuya’s Dōgenzaka area. Comparison shop; dodge the guys trying to attract customers looking for cheap sex , peep shows, and “soap lands” (aka sexy massage parlors); and marvel at the cool, retro coffee shops and bars that are stuck in between. One thing though: if you’re actually looking to partake of a room, give our guide to love hotels a read first. Not all are made equal.

Join a ramen tasting tour

There’s no doubt that ramen is one of the most popular Japanese foods, but with so many different kinds out there it can be hard to choose what to try. But if you join this ramen tasting tour , you won’t have to. You can try mini bowls of six different kinds of ramen while exploring Tokyo with an expert, local guide.

Dress up as your favorite superhero and zoom around in a go-kart

Go-karting around Tokyo is undoubtedly one of the most popular tourist activities (and one of the least popular with the locals!). It makes for a fun and memorable group activity — dress up and have your photo taken cruising across Shibuya crossing, driving around Harajuku and beyond.

Whilst there’s several go-karting providers across the city, this highly-rated go kart provider in Shinjuku covers a route through Shibuya. NB: You need an international driving permit, or driving license suitable for Japan.

Make memories on a bar-hopping tour

Get the real Shibuya nightlife experience by following a local guide’s expertise. Hop on a tour and find underground bars and izakaya you’d never have found yourself.

We’ve reviewed a Shibuya bar hopping and izakaya experience to give you an insight on what to expect — spoilers: lots and lots of alcohol.

Dress up for Halloween

If you happen to be in town near the end of October then you’ve got to stick around for Halloween in Shibuya — it’s a whole other level of crazy. As of 2023, note that the infamous street celebrations have been effectively banned, but if still you want to dress to impress, check out some of the other many Halloween events in the area .

If you’re not done yet, why not combine your Shibuya explorations with our DIY walking tour from Shibuya to Harajuku? It’s nearby, so you might be interested in our Things to do in Harajuku guide, too.
