Shibuya is undergoing a huge facelift bringing it out of the bubble 1980/90s to the 2020s with the new Shibuya PARCO Building, Shibuya Scramble, Shibuya Stream and others. The backstreet “teen grudge” shopping still exists but new shiny multi-service complexes are now popping up all over. The new Shibuya PARCO Building is a beautiful new 
complex with a fancy design, first Nintendo store, 14th Japan Pokemon store, floors of trendy and high end shopping and a theater complex (8th floor). If you need a little break from Shibuya crazy then grab a coffee and head up to the green roof on the 10th floor – beautiful outside space. Shibuya Parco Building is conveniently located next to Tokyu Hands (our favorite store in Shibuya), Xebio’s new sports flagship store and Hotel Koe (boutique hotel with great breakfast).
Shibuya PARCO Building – Nintendo, Pokemon and Fashion Trends
Shibuya PARCO Building is multi purpose commercial building. General admittance and shopping entertainment for X floors and commercial business space above. The lower half of the building is wrapped with stairs and outdoor gardens which kids will find fun to meander down as you are leaving the budding. Nice way to add some green to Shibuya.
Shibuya PARCO is a shopping mall so shopping for fashion is main, although the draw for your family may be the 6th floor Shibuya Cyberspace. The first floor of the mall has a “shotengai” shopping street which is for pop-up shops (very popular in Japan) and the upper floors are filled with teen favorites to high-fashion brands including Alexander Wang and Yves Saint Laurent. You can see a full floor plan and shop list here.
