The young, fashionable heart of the city — the famous scramble crossing, department stores, and the boutiques and crêpe stalls of Harajuku, with the calm of Meiji Shrine and Yoyogi Park just behind. Buzzing day and night, and the best base for shopping, people-watching and nightlife.

On your doorstep
What you’re living next to if you stay here.
- 1.Shibuya Crossing & Hachikō — The world's busiest pedestrian crossing — up to 3,000 people surging across from every direction on each light change, under a blaze of giant screens and neon. Dive in, then watch the spectacle from the Starbucks or the Shibuya Sky deck above; the loyal-dog Hachikō statue is the meeting point beside it.
- 3.Meiji Shrine & Harajuku — Step through towering wooden torii into the forested calm of Meiji Shrine, Tokyo's grandest — then straight out into the pop-culture riot of Harajuku's Takeshita-dōri, all crêpes, kawaii fashion and teen energy. The city's sacred-and-profane contrast in a single walk; do them back to back.
