Creating Shibuya’s Charm and Vitality / Adding Depth to the Cityscape
A TOD project centered on Shibuya Station, where four railway companies and nine lines converge. In addition to rebuilding the transportation infrastructure as part of this series of redevelopment projects, the project has created the “Urban Core”—a space that consolidates vertical circulation routes—to facilitate seamless connections to public transportation. By establishing a hub for cultural outreach to the world and creating a platform for new industries, the project will foster Shibuya’s appeal and vitality. At the observation deck offering a panoramic view of Tokyo, visitors can enjoy an experience detached from the hustle and bustle of city life, attracting people across generations and nationalities. Upon full completion in 2027, the area surrounding the station will become a convenient, vibrant, and multi-dimensional urban space, thanks to a multi-layered pedestrian network connecting the station and the city, various public squares, and new cultural exchange facilities.
