A thrilling world starting from Shibuya.
Living in Shibuya. Making the most of your business.
Shibuya is a city where various sensibilities and cultures intersect, constantly giving birth to new culture.
Shibuya continues to be the forefront of cutting-edge trends in all fields, including fashion, music, and art. Working in this area means being involved in creating the future. You can meet and be inspired by people with diverse values, while maximizing your own potential.
Shibuya as a place to work
Shibuya has long been a city that represents the culture scene and has achieved its own unique growth. Although there are many people who want to work here, there are few places to "work" (office floor space), and a shortage of office floor space has been an issue.
Tokyu Corporation has been working to overcome these challenges facing the area while also aiming to generate new businesses and attract entertainment, and has set a vision of "Entertainment City SHIBUYA" as it promotes the redevelopment of the area around Shibuya Station, which is said to be a once-in-a-century event.
The first phase of redevelopment was largely completed by 2019, and a wide variety of high-grade offices have been built alongside large commercial facilities in the reborn Shibuya. Shibuya's inherent characteristics of "culture," "diversity," and "playfulness" have made it an environment that accepts all kinds of work styles, and as a unique place of work, it continues to produce industries and cultures that lead Japan and the world.
Shibuya is a barometer and driving force for Japan. Tokyu Corporation will continue to create a field where you and Shibuya can evolve together, transcending all boundaries such as race, industry, and nationality, and where you can work more freely and playfully.

Shibuya from a data perspective
Shibuya as a business location. Shibuya as a place to work. Shibuya will stimulate your sensibilities and support your challenges.
1.A city with nine train lines stretching from north to south and east to west

Shibuya Station, which is served by nine lines from four companies, is one of Japan's leading terminals. Its convenient location for commuting also works to the advantage of recruiting. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, an increasing number of companies have introduced "ABW (Activity Based Working)," which allows employees to freely choose where they work, and the importance of "transport convenience and location" that allows employees to easily drop into the office when needed is becoming increasingly important.
2.A city where new industries are born
Start-up rate

Even among the many businesses in Tokyo, Shibuya Ward has a high start-up rate of 12.7%, far exceeding the national average of 6.4% for cities, wards, towns, and villages with more than 5,000 business establishments, making it a city with a high level of entrepreneurial activity. Shibuya Ward, in particular, along with Minato Ward, is home to many start-up companies that will lead the industries of the future. At the same time, there is an increase in initiatives and organizations that support new businesses, such as accelerators and venture capital, and further concentration is expected.

Shibuya is a city that attracts many tourists from both within Japan and overseas, not just visitors from Tokyo. Until 2019, the number of tourists visiting Shibuya increased every year, but since 2020, the number has dropped significantly due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Nevertheless, Shibuya's popularity remains strong, and according to a survey of foreign visitors to Japan departing from Japan, Shibuya was the city they visited the most, at 58.4%. Shibuya, which is home to a variety of content including the latest technology, is now attracting attention from people all over the world.
