Shibuya Crossing View Rooftop Tickets

Everyone photographs the Shibuya Scramble from street level. The smarter move is to get above it, and the rooftop of MAGNET by SHIBUYA109 sits directly over the crossing itself. Crossing View, with its MAG8 rooftop lounge, gives you the intersection in full flow beneath your feet, thousands of people dissolving and reforming with every light change.

The view and the photo

The deck looks straight down the famous intersection toward Shibuya Station, which makes it the best angle in the city for that swirling long exposure shot of the crossing. A dedicated camera platform lets you get a clean overhead style photo without railings in the way, and staff help visitors capture it. Come at dusk if you can, when the neon switches on while there is still colour in the sky, and the crossing is at its busiest.

More than a lookout

Because it doubles as a rooftop lounge, you can settle in with a drink rather than shuffle through, which is a rare luxury among Tokyo observation spots. The floors below are classic SHIBUYA109 territory, full of fashion, pop culture shops and food, so the visit extends naturally into an hour or two of browsing.

Getting there

MAGNET by SHIBUYA109 stands right on the Scramble Crossing, less than a minute from the Hachiko exit of Shibuya Station, which is served by the JR Yamanote Line, Tokyo Metro and private railways. Take the lift inside the building up to the rooftop entrance.
