       Shibuya is a            shopping and eating district popular with a lot of young Tokyoites.            It's within walking distance from two other large shopping districts -            Omotesando and Harajuku - as well as being quite close to            Yoyogi Park            and the Meiji Jingu shrine.

Shibuya deserves a prize as the district with more two-storey video screens than any other area in the world.

Most of the action in Shibuya is in the hectic blocks to the northwest of the JR station. The best place to get oriented is the Hachiko exit, which opens onto the six-way "scramble crossing" under the giant television screen. From left to right at the edges of the square are...
           The area to the south of the station is bounded by a highway, so            there's not much more than bus terminals (on both sides) and the Tokyu            Plaza department store.
   
       The two major roads heading east from the station continue to Aoyama            and Roppongi.

       Shibuya's station is a notoriously convoluted web of passageways.            Follow the signage and you should find your way out (or in).

                      Hachiko is a famous statue of a dog who possessed legendary            loyalty to his owner. It is also the name of one of the many exits            from Shibuya Station and the prime meeting place before a night out.            Just hanging out near Hachiko for a while will give you some great            people-watching opportunities.
   
       Hachiko belonged to           Professor            Ueno Saburo’s, who loved Hachi a lot. Hachi  always went to see            the master off and wait for his return at the Shibuya station everyday            even in terrible weather. After the Professor's death, Hachi continued            to wait at the station for his master's return.

       Center Gai, the narrow street leading away from the station to the            left of the giant video screen, is famous as the birthplace of many of            Japan's youth fashion trends. Center Gai is jam-packed with clothing            stores, music stores, and video game arcades.
   
       The Bunkamura complex (Bunkamura-dori) has an excellent art museum, in            addition to theatres for film and stage plays. On the basement floor            there's art and design bookstore as well as a branch of Paris' famous            Les Deux Magots café.              
                      
       The crowds of Shibuya attracts companies like Sony Ericson
       to promote their latest and most fashionable products.
                  
       Museums
       Tobacco and Salt Museum, Jinnan 1-1 6-8 (on Koen-dori). This            peculiar institution owes its existence to Japan's peculiar government            monopoly on these two substances. Temporarily closed from September            2004. http://www.jti.co.jp/Culture/museum/Welcome.html                      
There are movie theatres and electronics stores nearby.
           Shibuya is a major            center for nightclubs, music, and dancing.
   
       Magically shielded from decades of commercial development,            Nonbei-yokochō (のんべい横丁) is a narrow alley running alongside the east            side of the Yamanote tracks just north of the station. It's packed            with traditional yakitori taverns as well as some modern, extremely            tiny bars. The district was formed in 1955, and a few of the shops            have been operating since then.

By train
          From Tokyo Station, take the JR Keiyo Line to Maihama (舞浜), which is            adjacent to the park. The rides takes about 15 minutes (¥210) on an            express train.
         
          By car
          From Tokyo and the Yokohama region, follow the coast of a bay to            Chiba, exit at the Urayasu ramp and then go out at Route 357, go            straight on the road about 1km, make a U-turn at Mihama Rittai Road            (美浜立体道路). Then, you just follow the signs.
         
          The Tokyo Disneyland parking lot is huge and can take about 8000 cars.            In the parking lot, there are four signs: (M) Mickey, (D) Donald, (G)            Goofy, (P) Pinocchio. So, if you remember the space where you parked            your car, you can find it soon when you go back. The parking fee is            ¥2000. If you want to know more information about the car park and the            circumstances of surrounding streets, you can contact the Tokyo Disney            Resort information line at 045-683-3011.
         
          By bus
          Hotels around Disney have free transportation service to Disney            Resort.
         
          Long distance bus services come here from all over Japan.    
The four-station Disney Resort Line monorail            connects Maihama Station to Tokyo Disneyland, Tokyo Disneysea and            Tokyo Bay NK Hall plus the resort hotels. The fare is ¥200/100 for            adults/children and the Passnet stored value card can be used. Note            that, if going to Disneyland, it's probably easier and faster to just            walk from the station.
         
          See
          Of course, you can see the same Disney characters, a castle, and            mountains, and magic performances as at other Disney Parks. The            seaside does make this park a bit different from the others. And, the            people-watching is great.
         
          Do
          The two theme parks, Disneyland and Disneysea, compliment each other.            Disneyland is the most visited theme park in the world, with Disneysea            following at a close second. The two major symbols, Cinderella Castle            at Disneyland and Mount Prometheus at Disneysea are exactly the same            height, and from Ikspiari you can see them both.
         
          Drink
          Most drinks are soft drinks. However, you can also get alcoholic            beverages in some places inside the park.
