The list of sightseeing and historic places seems pretty random. Would it better to list the areas of Shibuya-ku (in alphabetical order?) and then identify the famous places in those areas? -Unknown
Hi, I'm a guy living in the eastern part of Tokyo. Just call me Eugene. Right now I'm planning to write a book on Shibuya. Doing some kind of research, I found out that people living in European countries and the US find Shibuya to be so attractive. Now this makes think. Why are you guys so interested in Shibuya? It is because of the cell phone culture? Is it because of the original fashion? Or, is it because anything is allowed in Shibuya? If there is anybody who can answer my question, it would be a very great help. For me as a Japanese, I like that town because it is easy to accumulate any kind of information of organizations including corporates, local communities and sub-culture groups. Please give me your impressons. -Unknown
Hi Eugene. I am a foreigner living one subway stop away from Shibuya (or 15 minutes by foot, for those of us willing to walk).
For me, from a perch in the Starbucks above Shibuya's center is a great place to watch Japanese people from all walks of life doing the same thing in a flash flood-like chaotic frenzy-- crossing the street or swirling around the statue of the dog, Hachiko, in search of a rendez-vous. Plus there are fun and relatively inexpensive places to shop for things I like ( Book1 and Tower Records for English-language literature; Uniqlo for comfortable clothes; Don Quixote and Tokyu Hands for quirky things not necessarily sold in department stores from where we come). I also enjoy grabbing an ice cream at familiar Baskin Robbins and discovering new kinds of cuisine there like garlic-based food, or more "exotic" (from a foreigner's perspective) food in the bizaar-like markets inside the station itself.
What I DON'T like is all the smoking. If Shibuya moved designated smoking zones away from nice places to have lunch outside (and the two-legged smokestacks compiled), I would be much happier to picnic there more often. Instead, I now walk to nearby Yoyogi park or around Meiji Jingu -- where there air is slightly cleaner and thus easier to breathe. With greenery and spontaneous live music, these are also good places to escape in late afternoon from dangerous herds of Shibuya shoppers, many wobbling on ultra-high heels, off-balance from variegated shopping bags through which both forearms loop, like fragile threads through the gossamer fabric of their unabashed materialism.
For the first few minutes of wading through the ebullient current of Shibuya consumerism, I am buoyed by the sheer energy of their common purpose. Then, just as quickly, I find myself diving through the crowds only to re-surface in some tiny, unnamed alley with only a few people and, happily, even fewer shops and restaurants. -DrDann : 02:08, 29 May 2005 (UTC)
There is some mention of the street fashion and shops in the article at the start, but this needs to be covered in more detail. Fashion is one of the major things in Shibuya and why so many people go there, either to see it or buy it. Where should this go in the article? I have around 100 pictures of Shibuya fashion on our site. Should I just to a link to this at the bottom? -Unknown
How did Shibuya make the list? Please explain what stores in Shibuya are upscale? Even the department stores there are not upscale at all. Ginza I would say is upscale, but Shibuya, I just don't see it at all. - ChristopherMannMcKay 01:42, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
I constantly hear from Tokyo people that the "loyalty" story is a myth, the truth is the dog was waiting for chicken. Why not represent this better in Wikipedia?-- Sean-Jin 22:52, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
I'm not sure if there is much useful information at Culture of Shibuya, but it may be better here. - Nabla 21:44, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
Removed second link to picturetokyo.com as I don't think there should be two links to the one site when there are so many good sites on the web about Shibuya. Whats up skip 00:05, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
Please add more references. Remember that everything in Wikipedia should be properly referenced, to make things easy to verify. You can use <ref>...</ref> and <references /> to insert them, as well as the citation templates, like e.g. {{ cite web}}. Shinobu 21:03, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
Surely there are many people with the surname Shibuya, how are articles addressing them to be directed to? So for the only disambiguation here is for the music style. I would like people to be able to find information on the character Kazuya Shibuya for example. Tyciol ( talk) 18:09, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
Hey guys. I added Nippon Crown Records Co., Ltd. to the list of companies (see Edit #1 and Edit #2). I hope this is okay! -- 65.31.44.146 ( talk) 01:36, 7 September 2008 (UTC)
What are the sister/partner cities/boroughs of Shibuya? -- Komischn ( talk) 21:07, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
User:Fg2 removed "Ward" from the sentence "Shibuya includes many well-known commercial and residential districts (...)" with the edit summary comment "because it is not a ward." I don't understand the reasoning since it contradicts with the lead line of the article itself, "Shibuya (渋谷区 ,Shibuya-ku?) is one of the 23 special wards of Tokyo, Japan." -- Fukumoto ( talk) 14:07, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
Understood. I think you should have refered to MOS:Japan-related in the edit summary. Thanks. -- Fukumoto ( talk) 14:14, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
there is a river in shibuya! 200.192.77.251 ( talk) 17:39, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
I think a reference should be made to the Nintendo DS game "The World Ends With You" as it's set in Shibuya. 203.211.77.193 ( talk) 04:32, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
The article lists the estimated population as 208,371, with an area of 15.11 km2, but if this information is correct, then basic arithmetic says the density should be 13,790 people per km2, not 13,540 like the article lists. Is population density calculated another way other than a basic population/area equation? If so, then ignore me cuz I'm dumb.-- 24.2.159.238 ( talk) 02:05, 25 September 2009 (UTC)
I would like to add a few paragraphs to discuss the same-sex partnership certificates in Shibuya. What do you think? — Preceding unsigned comment added by KKato1994 ( talk • contribs) 20:29, 16 April 2018 (UTC)
I added two paragraphs about the ordinance. KKato1994 ( talk) 16:24, 25 April 2018 (UTC) User talk:KKato1994
The infobox shows this information:
• Estimate () 420,000,000 • Density 420,169.06/km2 (1,088,232.9/sq mi)
If the total population (May 1, 2016) is 221,801 and the area is 15.11 km^2 (5.83 sq mi), then is the density not 14,679/km^2 and 38,045/sq mi?
