  • - [Narrator] Shibuya is one of Tokyo's most colorful

  • and busy districts.

  • Packed with shopping,

  • dining,

  • and entertainment.

  • Most commerce is on the northwest side so a good

  • starting point in Shibuya would be the Hachiko statue.

  • However, it gets very crowded at peak times and weekends,

  • so it's probably best to meet somewhere else.

  • Across from the statue is the Shibuya Information

  • help desk so if you have any questions,

  • I'm sure they'll be able to help you there.

  • Also, the statue is right next to the famous Shibuya

  • scramble crossing, known to be the world's busiest

  • pedestrian crossing.

  • There are a lot of places you can go shopping in

  • Shibuya, from department shops, to thrift shops,

  • to even a whole building full of young girl's

  • fashion wear.

  • There's even the shop behind me which is a discount shop

  • so it's great for you to buy your souvenirs for

  • a discounted price.

  • (upbeat music)

  • You can find mostly anything you need to buy in Shibuya

  • and here are some of the popular shopping areas

  • and shops.

  • Another place to visit in Shibuya is Hikarie,

  • and this building has a lot of nice cafes, shops,

  • and restaurants.

  • And another thing I really recommend doing on the

  • 11th floor is going to the theater table.

  • And I recommend sitting outside because you get this

  • great view of Shibuya.

  • And also if you order from the menu,

  • the lunch set is actually a really reasonable price.

  • It's around 1,300 yen to 2,000 yen and along with that

  • you get all you can drink.

  • You can pick teas and coffees and you also have an

  • all you can eat salad bar.

  • - So now we're at Sakuragaoka Cafe, also lovingly known

  • as the goat cafe here in Shibuya.

  • So at this cafe you can actually take out a goat

  • and walk around with it and play with it

  • and just have a good time playing with this farm animal

  • in the middle of the city.

  • So all you have to do to walk the goat is to buy a drink.

  • And the average cost for a drink is about 600 or 700 yen,

  • which is normal price for coffee in Tokyo.

  • And you are able to do this on Monday or Wednesday

  • at three o'clock if you call ahead and make your

  • reservation.

  • So if you're really craving some kind of farm experience

  • while in Tokyo, come check out this cafe.

  • It's really cute and really fun.

  • (upbeat music)

  • - [Narrator] Shibuya attracts many young teenagers

  • and students, so apart from shopping and eating,

  • there are also many other forms of entertainment.

  • (indistinct)

  • Oh my God, that's so smart, the tag's stuck there.

  • Anyways, if you didn't waste all your money on the

  • claw crane machines like me, you can also take some

  • purikura in these photo booths and bring it back home

  • for a memory.

  • That's so cringe-worthy!

  • There are all sorts of things to see and do in Shibuya,

  • so have a wander around and see what things catch

  • you eye.
