Shibuya Sky is the open-air deck on top of Scramble Square, with 360-degree views. Look straight down and the scramble crossing moves like an ant colony. It's one of the more dramatic viewpoints in Tokyo.

Insider tip
Book ahead. In winter the wind up there is serious. Sunset is the slot to get, so you can watch the city go from gold to neon.
What the guides say about Shibuya Sky
Sunset at Shibuya Sky. Book ahead for Shibuya Sky, the open-air deck 229 metres above the crossing, and take the slot that starts about an hour before sunset. You get the city in daylight, the light changing, Fuji on the horizon if the weather plays along, and the whole basin switching on beneath you. Sunset slots sell out days in advance, so it's the one reservation on this itinerary to sort before you fly.
10. Shibuya Sky at sunset (pay for this one, once). The open-air rooftop on the Scramble Square skyscraper costs money and opens at 10am, so it's a sunset deck rather than a sunrise one. It's also nothing like the glass-box decks elsewhere. The wind hits you and the city is below you in every direction. Sunset slots sell out, so book ahead.
Sunset. Shibuya Sky is the one ticket on this itinerary to book before you fly. Take the slot that starts an hour before sunset and stay for the switch-on, the city in daylight, then the lights, and Fuji on the horizon if the air's clear. Sunset slots sell out days ahead.

Around Shibuya
The crossing is just the cover page
Everyone does the Scramble, and you should too, once. But Shibuya's real personality lives in the smaller streets. It's in Nonbei Yokocho's two-storey bars pressed against the train tracks, the climb up to the rooftop views, and the walk down towards Daikanyama as the noise fades behind you.
Shibuya has 14 places on the Roam Tokyo map: 4 shops, 2 viewpoints, 2 bars, 2 cafes, 2 restaurants, 1 landmark and 1 bathhouse. Read the Shibuya guide.
