A short walk away is Tokyo Plaza, or Tokyu Plaza Omotesando Harajuku, a shopping complex known for its striking mirrored entrance and rooftop garden, blending fashion, art, and relaxation. At the heart of Shibuya lies the iconic Shibuya Crossing, one of the world’s busiest pedestrian intersections, where thousands cross simultaneously, capturing the organized chaos that defines Tokyo.
