Shibuya Station in short
Four operators serve the station: JR, Tokyu, Keio and Tokyo Metro. The crossing is directly in front of the Hachiko Exit.
The station is still being rebuilt, and the work is planned in stages until fiscal year 2034. Expect signs, detours and construction around the building for years. Follow the signs, and keep some extra minutes in your schedule when you change trains.

Hachiko Exit and South Gate
The Hachiko Exit leads straight to the crossing. It is also the busiest gate. JR points to the South Gate as an alternative, about 250 m from the Hachiko square and the crossing. If the Hachiko Exit is packed, walking from the South Gate can be calmer.
The Hachiko statue stands in the Dogenzaka area, close to the crossing and the Hachiko Exit. It is a popular meeting point, but do not count on it every evening. The statue area is planned to be fenced off from 30 October 2026, 6 a.m., until the morning of 1 November. See the Halloween guide and the Hachiko page.
Shibuya walking and food tours

Two sample rides from Shibuya
Adult single fares, Tokyo Metro, as of 1 April 2026.
| Ride | Ride time | IC card | Paper ticket |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shibuya to Asakusa, Ginza Line | 33 minutes | JPY 252 | JPY 260 |
| Shibuya to Ginza, Ginza Line | 15 minutes | JPY 209 | JPY 210 |
The ride time is the timetable time between stations. It leaves out the walk to the platform, waiting and any change of trains. Fares for other JR, Tokyu and Keio rides differ, so check them at the ticket machine or on the route planner you use.
The Asakusa ride takes you to the old temple district. Directions for the other end are on the Senso-ji getting there page.
The station rebuild
Years of work, in stages.
What is planned
The station and the pedestrian network are planned to be largely complete in fiscal year 2030. Phase II of Shibuya Scramble Square, with a middle and a west building, is planned for fiscal year 2031. Further completions run until fiscal year 2034.
What that means for you
Do not plan around a finished station soon. Japanese fiscal years run from April to March, so they do not match calendar years. Shibuya Sky keeps its own opening hours, so check them before you go.
