10 THINGS TO DO IN SHIBUYA
1. PEOPLE WATCH AT SCRAMBLE CROSSING
Most people take pictures from Starbucks coffee in TSUTAYA in Qfront but not many knows my SECRET SPOTS to take over head pictures and videos.
- Walkway between Tokyu Department store and Mark City- FREE！
- Estacion Cafe in Shibuya Excel Hotel - Ask for counter seats
Note: You can also see from L'Occitane Cafe and Gusto but you need to be lucky enough to be seated by the window which is a very low chance. You can try though.
2. WALK AROUND IN CENTER GAI
Center Gai is one of the most busy street in Shibuya. You can cross the Scramble Crossing and go into the street on the left of Tsutaya.
3. EAT KAITEN SUSHI (ON CONVEYER)
These restaurant below are promising. We go there literally all the time.
- Midorizuhi Katsu (in Seibu Department)
- Sushi Daidokoroya (in Dofenzaka)
- Ganso Sushi
4. SHOPPING!!
There are so many to check out. 109 for GAL(garu) fashion, Don Quijote for cosmetics and all kinds of weird stuff, Tokyu Hands and Loft for various goods, Big Camera and LAVI for electronic items.
5. CHILL IN THE YOYOGI PARK
Paolo enjoy running every morning in Yoyogi Park, so you might see him if you go there in the morning! There are always some kind of events going on on the weekends.
6. EXPLORE LOVE HOTEL HILL
7. DRINK AT NONBEI YOKOCHO
They won't rip you off like in Golden Gai. Food is actually good so try little dishes on the side of your drink.
8. PARTY UP IN A CLUB
There are the hottest clubs in Shibuya. HIP HOP clubs tend to have younger crowds and EDM clubs have 'older' crowds.
HIPHOP CLUBS
EDM CLUBS
9. PLAY THE HIGH-TECH GAME AT ARCADE
Don't expect Japanese arcade to be the same as the ones in your country. It's completely different world! In Japanese, arcade is called 'Game Center' so don't say arcade if you're going to ask locals for a direction.
