Shibuya

Shibuya represents the peak of youthful trendiness in Japan.

This is an extraordinary setting, with all types of people - especially young people - mixing freely. Shibuya pulses with energy.

It is the birthplace of so much of Japan's modern culture.

The streets are filled with famous department stores, including the 109 building, which attracts girls from all over the country, and restaurants that dish out just about any kind of ethnic fare imaginable.

Look, eat, buy, play. That could be the motto of this must-see neighborhood. Shibuya has stylish cafes where people hang out just to see and be seen; it has first-rate concert halls for classical music at Bunkamura, live houses featuring the latest J-pop bands, huge, spacious CD shops run by HMV and Tower Records, as well as salons and spas. Japan's musicians and entertainers hang out here as well.
