About Shibuya

Shibuya is an animated district of Tokyo. From the "eletric area" to the bars and restaurants you should enjoy this big area. Relaxing from this busy place is easy, just go in the Yoyogi Goyen park and walk to the Meji-Jingu Shrine. You should go to the busiest crossing ever and just try to cross it. In fact Shibuya crossing is really amazing. You can not imagine the number of people crossing these streets in a single day. This is really a thing to see if you are in Tokyo and especially near Shibuya.

User's opinion
The shrine is in the middle of the Yoyogi Gyoen and near Harajuku district. It is one of the most beautiful shrine of Tokyo and has been destructed during WWII but reconstructed keeping its original aspect. You can enjoy a walk in the park, which is full a beautiful trees.

User's opinion
Harajuku is finally how we call the Takeshita Dori street. It is a typical Japanese style street. You will find a lot of shops to buy the "teenager style uniform".
