Omotesando-Shibuya Map




Walking from Shibuya: If you want to visit Japanese culture and history from Shibuya, we recommend the Shibuya - Harajuku - Omotesando course. You can see the modern Japan in Shibuya, the history of Japan by visiting Meiji-jingu Shrine in Harajuku, young people's culture on Takeshita Street, and adult culture in Omotesando.

When you go out to the main street (Meiji-dori) from Shibuya - Harajuku, Harajuku - Takeshita-dori, Takeshita-dori Street, turn right to the Jingumae intersection, turn left at the intersection and go to Omotesando intersection. If I have time to spare, I will go back to Shibuya again in Omotesando - Shibuya. The entire distance is about 4KM, So even if you stop by here and there and walk slowly, it will be about 2-3 hours.

(Topography of Shibuya)


Shibuya is the origin of the name of the Shibuyailiterally means bit valleyj clan, who built Shibuya Castle in 1092, but the topography is also the lowest in the valley. The Shibuya River was originally a stream flowing through the countryside, but as the population increased, it became a culvert from the effective use of the land, and a Promnade and Cat Street were built on it, and then it flowed along the JR tracks, but with the modernization of Miyashita Park, it flowed under Miyashita Park as a culvert,

Reference: The spring water of Kiyomasa Well in the Meiji Jingu Gyoen National Garden flows into the iris field and leads to Minami-ike Pond, passing through the JR railroad tracks to Takeshita-dori Street, from Takeshita-dori Street, through Brahms' Komichi, Mozart Street, and flows into the Shibuya River, which is now a Cat street.
