What makes this place special?
At a Glance
Center Gai is a narrow shopping street in Udagawachō, Shibuya, Tokyo, running west from the crossing in front of Shibuya Station. Fast food outlets, clothing stores, karaoke boxes and restaurants line the street, and it draws a mostly young crowd. The main stretch is about 350 meters long, from QFRONT by the scramble crossing to near the Tokyu Department Store.
The street was built over the culverted Udagawa River, and its name is generally understood to mean the center of Shibuya. In 2011 the main street was officially renamed Basketball Street, a name meant to link the energy of young visitors with sport, though few people use it. The shopping association's area also takes in shops on nearby Bunkamura-dori and Inokashira-dori.
