The 10 Best Shopping Malls in Shibuya / Harajuku / Ebisu, Kanto
Tradition collides with pop culture in Tokyo, where you can reverently wander ancient temples before rocking out at a karaoke bar. Wake up before the sun to catch the lively fish auction at the Tsukiji Market, then refresh with a walk beneath the cherry blossom trees that line the Sumida River. Spend some time in the beautiful East Gardens of the Imperial Palace, then brush up on your Japanese history at the Edo-Tokyo Museum. Don’t forget to eat as much sushi, udon noodles, and wagashi (Japanese sweets) as your belly can handle.

Apart from the TOP Photographic Art Museum there is a lot Yebisu Garden offered when I was there shortly before X-mas. First of all there was a nice market place selling all kinds of local and rural products. Secondly at the day I was there, there was a Gospel Chior Festival taking place, which produced some very nice music by various gospel choirs the whole day through. And of course there was the always present X-mas chandelier, X-mas lighting in the surrounding trees as well as the beautiful decorated X-mas tree. All in all a lot to see and experience within a very confined and beautiful location. Yebisu remains one of my most favourite areas to visit in Tokyo during the X-mas period although this time I was there only during daytime so I missed out on the winter illuminations.

Great atmosphere was designed by famous architect Tado Ando. Impressive vertical line and access to different floors solved by some ramps and nice escalator. Boutiques are top brands and few good restaurants. Worth a visit especially if you are architect or love architecture.

This shopping mall near the Shibuya Scramble is the best place to go for unique and girly Japanese fashion. Shoes, clothes, costumes, beauty products, accessories, and food are all on offer.
Reviewed By J_Ackermann - Vienna, Austria
With a central location in the heart of Shibuya, this is a go-to place for younger women who want to shop trendy and generally affordable clothing. It has a very cute interior, is clean and easy to navigate, and has lots of bathrooms. Staff is friendly and eager to help. For men, it doesn't offer much, but as a young woman I was fascinated by this place.

Loved this "alternative" department store in the Shibuya area. We started at the bottom and worked our way up. There are scores of small "shops" that cater to wildly different styles and tastes - all of it for a trendy and young demographic. From 19th century-inspired capes to corsets and kinky leather, it's all here. This is where you can really get a sense of the depth and breadth of Tokyo's fashion scene.

10. MAGNET by SHIBUYA109

Reviewed By tlarraya - Community of Madrid, Spain
On the 8th floor of Magnet by Shibuya 109 you can pay 1000 Yens to have your picture taken from an automatic rooftop camera that takes as many shots during aprox. 100 seconds. The camera is far away so don´t expect close ups or quality pictures but it´s great fun and the view is very good. Don´t forget to go down the stairs instead of the lift when leaving since it´s choked full with beautiful modern murals (great background for pictures or a video).
