    Tokyo Shibuya-ku Dougenzaka 2-29-1
    This mall filled with shops on the cutting edge of youth fashion located in the Dogenzaka area of Shibuya City is popularly known as “Marukyu.” In addition to ladies fashion and cosmetic shops, here patrons can also find stores carrying unique items created in collaboration with famous young entertainers. Restaurants can be found on the seventh floor serving authentic Italian pasta and novel desserts. Known as a mecca for young people, this popular spot has come to be a symbol of Shibuya.

    I am in my forties so I would say, if you want to browse or eat, then yes. To buy, probably not. This is one of those pretty department stores. Some of the items were nice but I have gone past the...

    Tokyo Shibuya-ku
    This Shinto shrine is dedicated to Emperor Meiji and Empress Shoken, and its grounds consist of an inner and outer garden as well as the Meiji Kinenkan, which can be used as a venue for weddings and other ceremonies. A lush forest occupies the inner garden area; beloved as a rare green space in the heart of Tokyo, highlights include the magnificent Honden front shrine; wooden torii gate which is the largest in Japan; the Gyoen garden, which requires a small fee to enter but which is beautiful year-round; and the Kiyomasa Well (located in the Gyoen garden), from which samurai lord Kato Kiyomasa personally drew water. The outer garden is a Japanese-style garden which preserves how the area looked when it was still largely wilderness; highlights include a broadleaf tree-enshrouded walking path; South Pond on which bloom lotuses; and some 1,500 Japanese iris plants spanning 150 varieties which Emperor Meiji had planted for Empress Shoken - the best time to see the irises is from late May through mid-June. The outer garden spans Shinjuku Ward and Minato Ward and its facilities include the free Meiji Memorial Picture Gallery, as well as tennis courts, a baseball stadium, and a variety of other sports facilities. In Fall 2019 as part of events commemorating the shrine's 100th anniversary, the Meiji Jingu Museum was opened to display treasures connected to Emperor Meiji and Empress Shoken which were formerly kept in the Meiji Jingu Homotsuden (Treasure Museum).

    Tokyo Shibuya-ku Jingumae 4-12-10
    This mixed-use complex was built on the site of the former Dosokai Aoyama Apartments that were a landmark of Omotesando. With a prominent existence in Omotesando, a place where Japan’s cultural trends originate, the complex is known for its concentration of global brand shops and Japan main stores. The facility is full of shops handling refined urban products. The creative architecture designed by Japanese architect Tadao Ando is a must-see.

    While the street is pristine, this wasn’t for me, i prefer to shop local and not a large high end chains but the stores are inviting and stunningly classy. Omotesandō Street is tree-lined street that...

    Tokyo Shibuya-ku Dougenzaka 1-12-1
    This complex facility that is directly connected to Keio Inokashira Line's Shibuya Station is divided up in the East hotel tower and the West office tower. The commercial area from the first basement floor underground to the fourth floor above ground is filled with various stores including those offering trendy fashion or miscellaneous goods as well as restaurants. Since there is a highway bus and direct airport shuttle terminal on the fifth floor, this is also a popular spot for foreign tourists to enjoy meals. In the Toyoko Noren Gai (the Toyoko Noren Street) food area occupying the first basement floors visitors will find famous shops representing Tokyo and there is also a direct passageway to the food area inside the Tokyu Department Store's Toyoko branch.

    Nice design but not the most exciting place! Connected to JR Shibuya Station. Eateries are the best part! Clean and well kept.

    Tokyo Shibuya-ku Jinnan 2-1-1
    This sports complex in the Jinnan district of Tokyo’s Shibuya City is comprised of two gymnasiums, an indoor pool, and an outdoor futsal court. It was constructed for the 1964 Tokyo Olympics. Both the First and Second Gymnasiums were designed by the representative Japanese architect Kenzo Tange, and have a suspension style roof design that is unusual even by global standards. In addition to hosting matches for volleyball, futsal, handball, and basketball, it is often used for events such as concerts and martial arts tournaments.

    Always a marvellous-looking building, its a bit hard to see in all its glory at the moment as its being redeveloped in time for the 2020 Olympic Games. At that time I expect it to look fantastic.

    Continuing from Harajuku Station to Meiji-dori Avenue it is a popular street to mainly young people. Talent shops, unique fashions and stores crowd the 350-meter street.

    A Shinto shrine built in 1940 located close to Takeshita Street in Jingumae, Shibuya City, Tokyo. The shrine is dedicated to Togo Heihachiro, commander of Japan's combined fleet during the Russo-Japanese War. Due to the fact that he led Japan to victory in the war, he is also said to be a god of victory and the shrine is visited by large numbers of people praying for success in a given matter.

    I agree with another reviewer, if you are in the area and you have visited all the main tourist attractions, then this is worth a stop but dont make a special trip unless you are really interested...

    Tokyo Shibuya-ku Udagawachou 20-15 Humax Pavilion Shibuya Koen line street
    The Disney Store situated along Koen-dori in Shibuya. From the moment you enter through the doors in the store's cute, castle-themed entranceway, you'll find yourself transported to a dream world. In addition to Disney merchandise, the shop also conveniently sells Tokyo Disney Resort tickets and Corporate Program Coupons.

    The Disney Store in Shibuya is really cool with the exterior being a castle and that theme continuing inside with the spiral staircases worth a visit if in the area.

The setting of countless iconic movie scenes and the inspiration for songs, poetry, and literature worldwide, Tokyo barely requires an introduction. It’s hard for the kaleidoscopic neon lights, wacky pop culture, and some of the world’s tallest structures not to instill excitement in any first-time visitor to Tokyo, whether you’re in the very center of the hustle and bustle in Shinjuku or Shibuya or looking in from the quieter suburbs.
