What other travelers are saying about Tokyu Plaza Shibuya
Visiting Tokyo for the first time is a very nice experience. It is a very busy city, mixes the ultramodern and the traditional, great opportunities to eat, shop, and explore. Shibuya Plaza is a casual, busy and colourful shopping place.
The Plaza is certainly a nice place for younger people who know where to look at in order to find something. It is, by the way, not easy to find more special things that you can bring someone for a gift.
It certainly benefits from its location in front of the crossroads which is very well known from "Too Fast - too furious".
People who visit Shibuya must be aware that it is very crowdy, more so when the sun goes down. Despite such a big crowd of people, Shibuya is an extremely clean place.
Nice views of Shibuya crossing and is quite empty compared to the streets. Everyone is in the restaurants and no one is walking around shopping in the plaza.
