Shibuya FUKURAS isn’t just steel and glass. It’s a carefully curated collection of experiences. The name itself, derived from the Japanese word “fukuramasu” meaning “to inflate,” embodies the building’s purpose: to fill visitors with happiness. Shibuya FUKURAS stands directly across from JR Shibuya Station’s west exit. It’s a convenient hub for travelers, boasting a bus terminal with connections to both Narita and Haneda airports. Need assistance? The first floor houses “Shibuya-san,” a tourist information center and art gallery. It offers everything from maps and travel advice to currency exchange and luggage storage. Evenings at Shibuya-san transform the space into a cozy bar. You can savor unique cocktails and soft drinks made with Japanese ingredients, like the Kyoto Uji matcha latte with butterfly-pea tea jelly.
