Shibuya, the famous tourist attraction - where you can see the sculpture of the loyal dog and the crossroads where all the traffic lights at all junctions will stop at the same time for everyone to cross.
We took the JR to Shibuya. Not that difficult in the transfer of trains, except that when you change from one train operator to another, you may have to purchase a separate ticket, eg. between Tokyo Metro and JR. In the event that you have purchased a ticket to enable you to switch the train operators or when the station is not linked, then you must exit from the Orange gantry in order to retain the ticket for re-entry to continue with the journey.
In Shibuya, there is a bus interchange near the station but we did not attempt to try any buses (just in case we got lost). You can find a cluster of music shops at a corner.
Finally, we found the FIRST 100 yen shop (this is readily available when we were in Osaka). And, this is not the last 100 yen shop for this trip.
We were actually looking for Shakey's in Shibuya that we found all these additional finds. We finally found it in one of the lanes where the centre of Shibuya is. Had our lunch there and proceeded to Tokyu Hands.
This Tokyu Hands is rather different from the ones we visited earlier and later too. On the top most floor, there is a Hands Cafe within all the specially selected crafts/items of Tokyu Hands. We tried the waffle with ice cream and yes, it was nice (food is NEVER awful in Japan).
I finally bought some crafts from Tokyu Hands, after comparing the prices with other big craft stores which are priced similarly.
Before we went back to the hostel, we bought 2 pieces of cakes and yummy yum yum (sorry the other cake was half-eaten before we remembered to take a photo of it).
