Visit to Shibuya

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-story televisions than any other area in the world.
