Forget your map for a moment. Q-FRONT stands before us. This Shibuya landmark faces the famous Scramble Crossing. It is a vibrant hub of entertainment and culture.
Q-FRONT is hard to miss. The building sports a giant display screen called Q’s Eye. It showcases striking visuals. The Q’s Eye screen is quite large. The main screen measures 24 feet high and 42 feet wide. The banner screen is 17 feet high and 42 feet wide.
Let’s step inside Q-FRONT. Shibuya Tsutaya occupies floors B2 through 8. It is a massive store. It offers a wide selection of music and video software. Some say, “There is nothing they don’t have.”
On the underground floors, you’ll find gaming software. The floors above offer DVDs and CDs for sale. Further up are CD and DVD rentals. Bookworms rejoice. The 6th and 7th floors house a bookstore.
Need a break? Q-FRONT has several cafes. Starbucks operates on the 1st and 2nd floors. The 2nd-floor Starbucks offers a great view of the Shibuya Scramble Crossing. Watch the crowds surge below as you sip your coffee. The 1st-floor Starbucks is take-out only.
The Share Lounge is on the 3rd and 4th floors. It combines a shared office with a lounge. Work or relax while watching the Scramble Crossing.
