Shibuya - Another Shopping & Entertainment District of Tokyo

Besides Harajuku (click here), Shibuya is also one of the most colourful and busy district packed with tons of Tokyo youngsters. It's within walking distance from Harajuku but since Nicole and I had the unlimited railway pass, so we utilised it by taking the railway instead of walking.

Shibuya is a center for youth fashion and culture and it is popular for shopping and entertainment area. Shibuya is famous for its five-way scramble crossing, which just located once you step out from Shibuya Station.

Too bad it's raining and we can't find the perfect spot to shoot the perfect pic to explain how is exactly scramble crossing looks like. So credit to google for the pic below.

Over a dozen major of Tokyo large department and fashion stores located at here too.

Seibu, one of the largest department stores

As we moved on, we spotted this:

Disney store.

If you are planning to go Disneyland and in case unable to purchase online, it is advisable to purchase the admission ticket from here. Or else you might regret once you reach Disneyland.

Look! Drop dead gorgeous looking model at the pink lorry.


What Shibuya notable for is Hachiko.

Hachiko Statue

This is one of Tokyo's famous meeting points, which located just outside the station. I guess most of you know what is the story behind Hachiko. But unfortunately for me (NOT AGAIN!!!), I can't found this statue because of the rain. Everyone is holding the umbrella and blocking this statue, I guess!!!


More Japan post to come: Mount Fuji, DisneySea and accomodation I stayed when in Japan.
