Shibuya is a shopping and eating district popular with a lot of young Tokyoites. With Yoyogi Park and the Meiji Jingu shrine, Shibuya encompasses two other prominent shopping districts – Omotesando and Harajuku.
The nightlife district of Ebisu is in the south of Shibuya. Shibuya deserves a prize as the district with more two-story televisions than any other area in the world.
Most of the action in Shibuya is in the hectic blocks to the northwest of the JR station. The best place to get oriented is the Hachikō exit, which opens onto the famous five-way “scramble crossing” under the giant video screen.
