Worth the walk
For a half-day in Shibuya, start at the theatre, rest on the second floor above the crossing, cross the Scramble and go in at the Hachiko exit.

Here. Taken in Shibuya. See Shibuya Sky tickets on Klook
From the Shibuya Yoshimoto Manzai Theatre in Udagawacho to the Starbucks on the second floor of Shibuya Tsutaya, then over the crossing to the Hachiko exit. The walk runs either side of the crossing.
It works the other way too: out at the Hachiko exit, over the crossing, a rest on the second floor, then the theatre.
Yoshimoto Mugendai Hall, now the Shibuya Yoshimoto Manzai Theatre
ヨシモト∞ホール
The nearest station is Shibuya. The hall was on B1 of Shibuya BEAM, Udagawacho 31-2.
Yoshimoto Kogyo’s indoor stage opened on 25 March 2006 and has used its present name since April 2025. Search under the new name for tickets and shows.
The seating is semicircular and rather steep, with 218 seats on the first level.
If you are not seeing a show, it is just the starting point. If you are, book the show first and fit the rest round it.

If your plans are fixed
Starbucks Shibuya Tsutaya 2F, on the second floor above the crossing
スターバックスコーヒー SHIBUYA TSUTAYA 2F店
In the Shibuya Tsutaya building facing the crossing: QFRONT 2F, Udagawacho 21-6.
Every drink comes in tall. With no size to choose, just decide what you want and queue.
It takes cards and phones only, no cash. If cash is all you have, skip it and go straight to the crossing.
Two ribbon-shaped fixtures curve round the whole floor. Outside the building you are at the crossing.
Shibuya Scramble Crossing, where the streets fan out
渋谷スクランブル交差点
North-west of JR Shibuya station, joining the square in front of Hachiko to the streets beyond.
In 1973 it became a crossing where pedestrians go in every direction at once. Its official name is Shibuya Ekimae Kosaten.
When the lights change, do not stop in the middle: get to the other side, then look round and take your photograph.
The statue of Hachiko stands on the square to the south-east, a good place to agree to meet if your group gets separated.
Shibuya station, ending at the Hachiko exit
渋谷駅
From the crossing, come towards the square with the Hachiko statue to reach the Hachiko exit.
It opened on 1 March 1885 as a station on the Nippon Railway’s Shinagawa line. Today every line other than JR starts or ends here.
The exit takes its name from the statue. Before going in, find the signs for your line.
The roads off the crossing to Dogenzaka or Center Gai are not part of this order. Keep them for a day with time left over.
