Show More ReviewsA Record of My Romantic Winter Trip in January 2020 & My Kanto Hot Spring Trip in January 2025 I've always had a special fondness for Shibuya Ward in Tokyo. Although Shibuya is bustling with people, it doesn't feel noisy; shopping there is particularly natural and comfortable. Shibuya is lively yet orderly, vibrant yet avant-garde, flamboyant yet warm. Everything you need for eating, clothing, accommodation, and transportation is readily available. Every trip to Shibuya to shop for designer brands and trendy labels is incredibly fulfilling and leaves me with many satisfied purchases!
