The Shibuya Scramble looks like a miniature! Shibuya Fukuras rooftop observation deck "SHIBU NIWA"

Hi! I'm Izumi, a photo spot explorer.
This time, I went to a photogenic spot overlooking the Shibuya Scramble.

Shibuya area has been undergoing renovating over the last few years.
New observatories have been opened on the rooftops of the newly opened skyscrapers.

In this article, I'll introduce one of them, the rooftop garden "SHIBU NIWA" at Shibuya Fukuras.

SHIBUYA FUKURAS

Shibuya Fukuras is connected with Shibuya Station by the deck and you can access 3 minutes walk from Station's west exit.
It houses many retail stores, restaurants, offices, a tourist information center, and an observation deck.

SHIBU NIWA

The observatory deck "SHIBU NIWA" is located on 17th floor.
I could enter the deck on a light rainy day, but bringing an umbrella is not allowed.
A selfie stick is also not allowed.

Spacious viewing area with benches and tables.

SHIBU NIWA

The observatory was spacious and there is a restaurant on the left.
There were benches and tables, which were free to use, not restaurant seating.

The observatory continues on for the back of the restaurant.
You can see the Scramble Crossing from this side.

Take the best view of Shibuya!

This corner space is the best of view.
Here is a good position to take pictures because there is no window and a fence is low.

Looking down and shoot the Scramble Crossing, I could get a picture that looked somewhat like a miniature like this!

There are several observatories in Shibuya, but I think here is a rare spot to be able to see from the front of Starbucks!
The angle of the look down is also exquisite!

This article introduced the observatory deck "SHIBU NIWA".

In the Shibuya Fucurus, there are Japanese style interiors and monuments, which were also impressive to see.
There are many observatories in Shibuya, but all of them are recommended because the view from each place is slightly different!
