The Shibuya District Gets a New Look

Attracting hordes of locals and visitors, Tokyo’s Shibuya neighbourhood, and specifically the area around Shibuya station, is changing in order to strike a new image before the 2020 Olympics.

Shibuya Station, home to a network of nine train and metro lines, is undergoing an extensive overhaul in order to facilitate better navigation for the three million daily users of the sprawling terminal. It will also house a new bus station serving Haneda and Narita airports, allowing foreign travellers to land directly into the heart of exciting Tokyo.

With the aim of best hosting incoming visitors, Shibuya Scramble Square, opening on November 1st 2019, is due to be adorned with Japan’s biggest rooftop observation deck, with a panoramic view across Tokyo, even extending towards Mount Fuji on a clear day.
