If you’re hunting for the perfect shot of the famous Shibuya Scramble Crossing, this rooftop at Mag’s Park is the place to be. It’s tucked right on top of the MAGNET by Shibuya 109 building, and all it takes to get in is buying one drink. Super fair deal for that kind of view!
What I love about this spot is how you can really take in the organized chaos of Shibuya from a peaceful distance. The patterns of people moving across the crossing are mesmerizing—especially when the light starts to fade and the city begins to glow. It’s one of those classic Tokyo views that never gets old, and it's great for both wide urban shots and more detailed street photography.
Best Time to Photograph:
Plan to get there around an hour before sunset to catch that magical golden hour light as it bounces off the buildings. Stay into blue hour and beyond for neon-lit scenes full of movement and color. Perfect spot for time lapses too if that’s your thing.
