There are stores selling limited items that you can't buy anywhere else, so get some nice souvenirs while you are here.

＜SHIBUYA SKY＞
SHIBUYA SKY is an exhibition space located 230 meters above ground at the rooftop of the Shibuya Scramble Square. The glass-plated outdoor portion of the exhibition space gives visitors the full experience of enjoying Tokyo's view 360 degrees. Looking down, you will find the streets of Shibuya and the famous Shibuya scramble crossing right at your feet. You can also see Tokyo Skytree®, Tokyo Tower, and the National Stadium in the distance. Remember to take pictures of this stunning scenery.
<Trick Art>
There is a photo booth on the Shibuya Scramble Square's 46th floor where you can take trick shots that you won't be able to take anywhere else. How about taking some pictures of yourself sitting on top of a building or floating in Shibuya's sky as a souvenir? A professional camera man will offer his camera and services to your group and you can also ask a staff member to take pictures with your own camera or smartphone.
<Lunch>
The building's 12th and 13th floors are food courts offering a wide variety of Japanese and Western cuisine. Come here and treat yourself to some sushi, monjayaki and other Japanese dishes after enjoying the great view at SHIBUYA SKY. Restaurants here can be crowded depending on when you decide to go, so it's probably a good idea to make an advance reservation at your restaurant of choice.
The Symbol of Shibuya Station
There are two famous meeting places at Shibuya Station: the statue of Hachiko the Faithful Dog, or the Moyai statue modeled on Moai in the Easter Islands. You can also connect to free Wi-Fi here to upload pictures you have taken at SHIBUYA SKY to your SNS. Look up other attractions around here, and then set out to your next destination.
