A Pilgrimage for the Popular Manga, “Slam Dunk”
This is the location of the railway crossing that served as a model for the opening scene of Slam Dunk, a basketball-themed anime that has gained enthusiastic fans not only in Japan, but all over the world.
As soon as the bell rings, the Enoden slowly passes by, and that familiar scene unfolds right in front of you. Anime fans will definitely be moved.
IVY PLACE
A restaurant with such a distinct nostalgia, that it will make you feel like you’ve come to a library in the middle of the woods. Serving breakfast, lunch, as well as afternoon tea and dinner, the shop is a comfort food restaurant that can fit a wide range of lifestyles.
The outdoor dining area at this restaurant is fantastic, and the food is really delicious too.
Shibuya Nonbei Yokocho
Just under 40 small but cozy izakaya are all lined up here along the rails near Shibuya Station.
There are izakayas and yakiniku places selling oden here. Each spot is small and cozy, with limited seating, but every place was packed and the atmosphere was lively.
SHIBUYA 109
For many years, this shopping building has continued to fascinate young people who are aware of what is in fashion. With a collection of clothes of the latest trends, it attracts attention not only from Japan but also from overseas.
The quality of the products isn't great and the prices aren't cheap either. I also wasn't a fan of the staff's attitude.
LUMINE EST
Located right by JR Shinjuku Station East Exit, this is a fashion building with convenient access. Many fashion, fashion accessories, interior goods, cosmetic shops are located between B2F and 6F. The shops are open late in the evening so it is easy to drop by on the way home.
This shopping mall has a great location. In the summer, it's nice to come in and cool off with the air conditioning.
Shibuya Scramble Intersection
This is a scramble intersection in front of Shibuya Station. Said to be the world’s busiest crosswalk, it has become a famous sight to see in Tokyo. From the pedestrian bridge connecting the JR Yamanote Line and the Keio Inokashira Line, you can view the flurry of people crossing the intersection from above.
A lot of the stories in 'The Naked Director 2' take place in Shibuya.
