Shibuya (渋谷区) Another ward in Tokyo, Japan, with a large business section, a few very famous sights, such as Yoyogi Park, a venue for the 1964 Olympics, and the Meiji Shrine. The ward is large enough for two smaller districts inside the ward to be singled out for special mention.

Shibuya Station

The Shibuya rail station is the third busiest in Tokyo and its west exit is the site of Hachikō, a popular meeting spot with a statue of a dog that appeared in Strip 711. Shibuya is the home to the NHK Broadcasting Center and the NTT DoCoMo Building and whatever facilities Aoi Mumu-chan uses for her broadcast and interview with Kimiko. This part of Tokyo might also be the home for CubeSoft.

Harajuku Station

Also in Shibuya Ward, between Shinjuku and Shibuya stations is Harajuku. The area near the Harajuku station is known for its nightlife. This is the natural home for love hotels and nightclubs, including the Cave of Evil. Harajuku is also the center of the Gothic Lolita (as seen inside the Cave of Evil and worn so proudly by Miho) and visual kei culture plus fashion boutiques.
