The cylinder-topped tower at the fork of Dogenzaka, a Shibuya landmark since 1979 and the birthplace of the 'gyaru' fashion boom. Today its floors of small shops show what young Japanese women are wearing right now, from affordable fashion to Korean-style cosmetics and sweets.
Built in 2018 along the restored Shibuya River, where a walkway with water features now runs beside the shops. The low floors are mostly restaurants and cafés with terrace seating, which makes it a calmer place to eat than the crowded streets around the crossing. A hotel and an event hall are in the same complex.
A long building that holds the Keio Inokashira Line platforms and links the station to Dogenzaka. Its passage of food shops and cosmetics stores is a good shortcut on rainy days, and the Shibuya Excel Hotel Tokyu and the highway bus terminal (including some airport buses) are upstairs.
