Traveller tips

Know before you go

  • Visit after 8 PM Friday for peak crossing chaos under neon—arrive early to claim a Starbucks window seat.
  • Use Shibuya Station's Hachiko Exit; other exits dump you blocks away from the scramble.
  • Download offline maps—cellular data congestion spikes during evening rush and weekends.
  • Combine with Harajuku (one stop north) and Shinjuku (two stops west) for a full district day.
