A new landmark for sightseeing in Shibuya! Let's experience the reopened SHIBUYA TSUTAYA

Speaking of Shibuya, many people probably think of the world-famous “scramble crossing.”

“SHIBUYA TSUTAYA,” which is located close to that intersection, was completely reopened on 2024/4/25.

The image of rental shops up until now has been renewed, and “create a world with what you like.” Under the theme, it has been reborn as a new-style cultural transmission base with intellectual property (IP) such as diverse manga, characters, and designs as keywords.

SHIBUYA TSUTAYA has a total of 10 floors, from 2 basement floors to 8 floors above ground.
