Tower Records Shibuya is nine floors of physical music in defiance of the whole 21st century, and its 6th floor is one of the biggest vinyl floors in Japan. The J-pop and city pop floors are a culture lesson, and the listening stations still work.
Insider tip
The 2nd floor cafe does themed artist pop-ups. City pop vinyl reissues sell out fast, so buy when you see one.
What the guides say about Tower Records Shibuya
Afternoon. Walk down into Shibuya. Cross Shibuya Crossing once, watch it once from above, and then you're done with it. Give what's left of the daylight to what surrounds it: the lawn on top of Miyashita Park, the record floors at Tower Records Shibuya, and the coffee at Chatei Hatou, a dark-wood kissaten where each cup is made slowly and served in antique porcelain.
Afternoon. Follow Cat Street downhill into Shibuya, about fifteen minutes on foot. Do Shibuya Crossing once at street level, then once from a window above it, and that's the box ticked. Miyashita Park has a rooftop lawn a few minutes away for a sit-down, and Tower Records Shibuya is nine floors of the physical music shop that disappeared everywhere else on earth.

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.
