Hi, I'm sooo soooo sorry for being late this time! m(_ _)m

But I had a lot of problems with my computer!

It'll be difficult for me to write in the next 2 weeks, because of exames for university and these problems with my computer!!

Today in Milan one of the subway station has been transformed in Shibuya Station!!

So, I leave you just for the moment with this post, and in honor of this event (organized by Fast Line) let's talk about Shibuya!

~ I hope u'll like it ~

Shibuya

Shibuya (渋谷) is a neighborhood of Tokyo, Japan. Along with Harajuku, Shibuya is recognized as the center of youth culture and youth fashion in Japan. Shibuya is located between Harajuku and Ebisu on the Yamanote Line (山手線 central train line in the heart of Tokyo. The circular line connects many of Tokyo’s most visited and popular districts, making it a core transportation resource within the city) in the Shibuya-ku Ward of Tokyo.

As of 2003 there was an approximate population of 197,223 people with about 11,000 of these foreign residents, an incredible percentage for this area of Japan. The total estimated area of Shibuya is 15.11km.

Serving as a trendy city of Tokyo, Shibuya is a popular district for fashion fans and many designers. Fashion and entertainment are the most important industries of the city at this time. Locals and foreign tourists are typically present to shop the many boutiques looking for the latest and most popular fashion trends.

Aside from the shopping and entertainment the city also features many parks, museums, art galleries, and special event halls. Keeping the city modern, green, and environmentally satisfying has been a big job but also ranks as top priority to its citizens.

Interests Points

National Yoyogi Stadium: Host to the world-famous swimming Olympics; it's a large sports arena which features volleyball courts, an ice skating arena, and also presents an area for grand events. The stadium is located between Shibuya and Harajuku. 

Hachiko Statue: Just outside of the Hachiko exit of Shibuya Station, this is the central meeting point for people who gather in Shibuya. Ths statue represents a story that is known by all that live in the city. It portrays a dog named Hachiko that was so loyal to its owner he waited every evening for him to exit the Shibuya Station. As the story goes, the dog still waited for his master after he had passed away due to illness. Since the story touched many, the statue was placed to remind everyone how important the love of all creatures is. The Hachiko Statue meeting place has been featured in many films and anime.

Shoto Museum of Art: The Shoto Museum of Art displays art dating back to over 200 years ago. Each piece represents a great piece of the many events and cultures in the history of Japan. Tourists have been known to travel to Japan in order to view this museum in particular based on its overwhelming amount of art.

Shibuya Crossing: Shibuya Crossing is just outside of Shibuya Station and is possibly the most photographed street crossing in the world. At peak hours, the crossing is extremely crowded and has been featured in many television shows and movies, as well as being extremely popular with tourists visiting Tokyo.

Shibuya Center Street: Shibuya Center Street is the street that runs down the middle of the most popular shopping area in Shibuya, directly across from the Hachiko exit of Shibuya Station..
