Introduction

Shibuya is one of Tokyo's most unique and bustling districts, targeting primarily young people as a commercial center. The famous Shibuya 109 building represents this district, not only as a shopping center, but also as a symbol of GAL fashion. Shibuya gathers many department stores and fashion shops, as well as various types of small shops. In addition, there are many restaurants, bars, clubs, and live music venues in Shibuya, showcasing popular culture. If you walk from Shibuya's central street to the PARCO department store, you will pass a slope called Spain Hill, where there are a variety of clothing and grocery stores, dining and amusement centers, and unique Spanish-style decorations that are popular with young people. The intersection in front of Shibuya Station is famous and is one of the busiest intersections in the world. When the green light comes on, the rushing flow of people floods the road from all sides, and the huge advertisements and screens of many commercial areas around add another charm to this busy city. Each street in this area has a different style and feature, with countless places to eat, drink, and play. If you come to Shibuya, don't forget to visit the famous bronze statue of Hachiko, the loyal dog, outside JR Shibuya Station!
