Background
"shibuya-san" is Japan's first tourist information center and art center, located on the first floor of Shibuya Fuklas in front of Shibuya Station. Located right in front of the bus terminal where express buses from Narita and Haneda Airports arrive and depart, it serves as a base for welcoming many tourists and business travelers. Since all staff members speak at least three languages, the facility is in high demand as a luggage storage and tourist information center for foreign visitors to Japan.
Alcohol and soft drinks are served inside the facility, and the facility can also be used as a waiting area, so it can be picked up in advance before arrival at the airport and used for light work while waiting for the bus. In addition to the demand from overseas travelers, the facility can be used temporarily for sightseeing and business, and can also be rented and picked up across the Tokyo metropolitan area, making it even more convenient.
