Shibuya

Tokyo

One of Japan's busiest towns, Shibuya is extremely popular with young people. There are department stores, restaurants and specialty shops; casual fashion shops in particular have a high profile as typified by the "SHIBUYA 109" fashion building. Each street has its own characteristic look; for example, Koen Dori (Ave.) has the "Seibu Department Store" and "Parco", Bunkamura Dori (Ave.) has the "Tokyu Department Store", and Spain Zaka (Hill Road) has small clothing boutiques and miscellaneous goods shops. On "Center Gai or Center Street", the street extending from the station, there is a constant stream of young people strolling past the fast food shops, shoe stores, and accessory and cosmetics shops.
Fashion shops recently started opening up on Meiji Dori (Ave.), so you can enjoy window shopping while walking to Harajuku or Omotesando.

Tokyu Department Store

The "Tokyu Toyoko" branch of this department store, conveniently connected directly to Shibuya Station, is famous for its food section that offers a delightful selection of confectionary and a wide variety of deli goods. A 10-minute walk leads you to the head store, which is much more posh and features domestic and overseas brands. There is a free bus service between both stores.
