Shibuya

Shibuya is one of the most crowded cities in Tokyo.
The station is full all day 365 days a year.

It's a city with all types of entertainment... shopping malls, restaurants, coffee shops, movie theaters, big music shops, game shops... most of young people like Shibuya and makes a meeting point for many of them.



It's colorful with many huge video screens all over the big buildings. Neon advertisements are used everywhere...

Famous brands and big companies present their product first in Shibuya.





One famous fashion shopping mall is the 109 (ichi maru kyu), where every young Japanese in Tokyo already passed at least once.





In the middle of thousands of shoppings and restaurants, one very interesting cafe was waiting us for lunch.



In the north of the station, there is the Yoyogi Stadium, and beside it, in the middle of the street, young people try to get attention from the public.

Many singers and comedians started their show in the streets like this.




Some stores are really amazing. Cute things, bizarre objects, funny bags and clothes...

Goods from everywhere in the world... lots of fun even only looking at the stores. Even because the prices are quite expensive! :O

One flower (the biggest one) is around 5,000 yens.

Tokyo Eletricity Museum is free admission and you can see interesting machines...
Many simulation miniature machines about nuclear and water generating energy. Well, for me the interesting one was the machine that emits the smell of a dish the PC is showing how to prepare. When the dish is almost ready, both cylinders around the monitor start expelling a very good flavour. You can choose blueberry cake, chicken, pork, etc...




How about a haagen dazs after all this walk?


You can have anything in Shibuya!



Original architecture is one of the characteristics of Shibuya... as the space is one of the most expensive in the world, so narrow and tall buildings are seen here... of course with the special colorful neon lights...



Amazing place... the only problem is I really hate crowded places... that's why I don't go to Shibuya so often, even 5 min by train from home...
