First signs of central Tokyo shutting down with the unprecedented closure of a youth hotspot.
Crowds gathered at the city’s most famous intersection for a massive street party as police looked on.
Owners say sayonara to their iconic red sign with a new logo that captures the spirit of all the youth fashion stores inside the building.
Japan’s first-ever bathtub cinema is set to screen Hollywood blockbusters for three days only.
Out of 852 examined buildings in the city, researchers say the Shibuya fashion mecca is the least prepared for a major trembler.
