The nearest places we have written up, with straight-line distance from here.

200 m
Takeshita Street
A 350-metre pedestrian lane opposite Harajuku Station that became the shop window of Japanese teen fashion and crepe stands.
250 m
Harajuku Station
Harajuku Station is best known for being a major transport hub near the vibrant Harajuku district, famous for its youth culture and fashion.
300 m
Cat Street
The fashionable pedestrian lane between Shibuya and Omotesando follows a section of the old Shibuya River, covered around the time of the 1964 Tokyo Olympics. Houses originally turned their backs toward the water; once the channel became a street, former rear walls and service entrances were gradually transformed into shopfronts.
500 m
Omotesando
The zelkova-lined approach to Meiji Shrine turned into Tokyo's showcase of flagship-store architecture by Ando, Ito, Herzog & de Meuron and SANAA.
550 m
Yoyogi National Gymnasium
Kenzo Tange's 1964 Olympic swimming hall with a suspended roof hung from two masts, a landmark of modern architecture.
900 m
February 26 Incident Memorial Statue
The corner beside the Shibuya tax office was once part of Tokyo’s military prison, where nineteen convicted leaders and ideological supporters of the coup were executed by firing squad in 1936 and 1937. Supporters erected the memorial in 1965 on or near the former execution ground, creating an uneasy memorial to both rebellion and repression.
