Shibuya Sakura Stage was completed in November 2023 under the concept of “stroll around a neighborhood full of joy.”

It is in the Sakuragaoka district located on the south side of Shibuya Station. This district had long been separated from the entertainment and shopping area in front of the station due to the train tracks as well as to National Route 246, which was expanded for the Tokyo Olympics in 1964. In addition to the development of Shibuya Sakura Stage, a new pedestrian deck and a new train ticket gate were also added to improve the jumbled and complex circular flow of people around the station.

In the commercial section of Shibuya Sakura Stage, all tenants such as cafés, restaurants, and learning and experience-based shops will open at once on July 25. The section also features open spaces and event spaces for a variety of events and exhibitions.

At Shibuya Sakuragaoka Beer Hall, you can enjoy local specialties of the Sakuragaoka district, as well as beers originated in Shibuya and brewed on site.

Tsutaya Bookstore, which is going to be one of the largest bookstores in the Shibuya area, as well as Share Lounge will also open.

404 Not Found, an international exchange hub for indie game creators, will also open on the same day. It aims to become a one-of-a-kind global video game spot, which provides a place for holding game events and product release sessions as well as for helping creators from both Japan and overseas communicate.

When you visit Shibuya Sakura Stage, don’t forget to take souvenir photos at “Shibu S,” a structure that resembles the letter S, which is the initial letter of Shibuya and Sakuragaoka. This unique architecture with pink curved mirror surface not only reflects passersby and the townscape, but also appears as the letter S from any angle.
