The densest concentration of things to do in the world — from Michelin-starred ramen to teamLab's digital art to Shibuya's neon crossing.
Things To Do
Landmarks
Shibuya Crossing
The world's busiest pedestrian crossing — best viewed from the Starbucks or Shibuya Sky above.
Tokyo Skytree
At 634m, one of the tallest structures in the world, with two observation decks.
History
Meiji Shrine
A forested Shinto shrine in the middle of the city, dedicated to Emperor Meiji.
Senso-ji
Tokyo's oldest temple, approached through the lantern-lit Nakamise shopping street.
Shopping
Harajuku / Takeshita Street
Tokyo's youth-fashion epicenter — crepes, thrift shops, and street style.
Shibuya 109 & Center Gai
Vertical fashion mall and the pedestrian shopping strip behind the crossing.
Photography
Shibuya Sky
Open-air rooftop observatory with a 360° view over Tokyo — best at sunset.
Anime / Gaming
teamLab Planets
Immersive, walk-through digital art — mirrored water rooms and projected flower gardens.
Food
Gyukatsu Motomura
Breaded, seared-rare beef cutlet cooked tableside on a hot stone — a Shibuya lunch institution.
Romantic
Shibuya night walk
The crossing and the backstreets glow differently after dark — an easy, free way to close a day.
Experiences
Convenience store at midnight
A very Japan-specific ritual — 7-Eleven/FamilyMart onigiri and canned coffee after a night out.
