From Wikipedia: Shibuya is one of the 23 special wards of Tokyo, Japan. As of 2008, it had an estimated population of 208,371. Shibuya has achieved great popularity among young people in the last 30 years. There are several famous fashion department stores in Shibuya. Shibuya 109 is a major shopping center near Shibuya Station, particularly famous as the origin of the kogal subculture. Called “Ichi-Maru-kyū,” which translates as 1–0–9 in Japanese, the name is actually a pun on that of the corporation that owns it — Tokyu (which sounds like 10–9 in Japanese). The contemporary fashion scene in Shibuya extends northward from Shibuya Station to Harajuku, where youth culture reigns; Omotesandō, the zelkova tree- and fashion brand-lined street; and Sendagaya, Tokyo’s apparel design district. During the late 1990s, Shibuya also became known as the center of the IT industry in Japan. It was often called “Bit Valley” in English, a pun on “Bitter Valley,” the literal translation of “Shibuya.” Shibuya is famous for its scramble crossing. It is located in front of the Shibuya Station Hachikō exit and stops vehicles in all directions to allow pedestrians to inundate the entire intersection. Three large TV screens mounted on nearby buildings overlook the crossing. The Starbucks store overlooking the crossing is also one of the busiest in the world.

Streets are filled to the brim with fashion stores, restaurants and there are quite a few electrical outlets here too including Bic Camera, Yamada Denki Labi and the Apple Store.Other stores of interest would be Tokyu Hands (Zakka) and Mandarake (Manga, Doujin and rare figures, dolls).

tokyo (shibuya) at night using a fisheye lens Following the opening of the Yamanote Line in 1885, Shibuya began to emerge as a railway terminal for southwestern Tokyo and eventually as a major commercial and entertainment center. It was incorporated as a village in 1889, as a town in 1909, as a ward of Tokyo City in 1932, and as a ward of Tokyo Metropolis in 1943. The present-day special ward was established on March 15, 1947. One of the most well-known stories concerning Shibuya is the story of Hachikō, a dog who waited on his late master at Shibuya Station every day from 1923 to 1935, eventually becoming a national celebrity for his loyalty. A statue of Hachikō was built adjacent to the station, and the surrounding Hachikō Square is now the most popular meeting point in the area. Yoyogi Park in Shibuya was one of the main venues for the 1964 Summer Olympics. In 1965, 18-year-old Misao Katagiri, who had already shot and killed a policeman, went on a shooting rampage, and injured 16 more people. He was sentenced to death and was executed by hanging in 1972. Shibuya has achieved great popularity among young people in the last 30 years. There are several famous fashion department stores in Shibuya. Shibuya 109 is a major shopping center near Shibuya Station, particularly famous as the origin of the kogal subculture.

This is the Hanzomon Subway Line, initially opened in 1978 from Shibuya to Nagatacho and mostly completed in the 1980s. On the left is the Tokyu Den-en-toshi line (press all-sizes and "large" or "original" to see the station names). The Tokyu trains can use the Hanzomon line tracks to link Tokyo's Western suburbs with Otemachi near the centre of the city, connecting directly at Shibuya.
