Shibuya night vibes

Spend the day in the heart of Tokyo’s energy with my essentials for exploring Shibuya ✨🇯🇵 This trip delivers iconic photo ops and wallet-friendly shopping, right in one of the busiest urban intersections in the world!

Top Spots to Visit in Shibuya:
1. Shibuya Scramble Crossing (Shibuya, Tokyo, Japan, open 24/7) 🏙️
If you want that *real* Tokyo vibe, dodge the crowds here and snap a video from above (try a café or second-story window nearby) — it's wild just how many people cross at once! A lot of folks say it’s overrated, but honestly, the sheer scale and chaos is peak Tokyo. For best viewing, head there at rush hour (evenings) when the neon pops.

2. MEGA Donki Shibuya Annex 🛒
This superstore is open late and stocks just about everything — snacks, souvenirs, quirky Japanese beauty, even travel gadgets. Don’t just browse: try the sample food in the snacks aisle and snag a deal on matcha KitKats! Locals shop here too, so it’s less touristy at night. Pro tip: Use the tax-free counters with your passport for legit savings.

Getting Around:
The Shibuya district is made for walking — metro hub Shibuya Station puts you steps from both these hotspots. Get a prepaid Suica or PASMO card for seamless train transfers.

Food Recommendation:
For a fast local bite, swing by Genki Sushi near the crossing. Conveyor belt sushi = quick & fun. Late-night ramen stands are everywhere too!

Key Tips:
No visas for most Western visitors under 90 days. Cash or card both work, but smaller eateries love coins. Weather’s mild — pack a light umbrella in spring/fall.
