Shibuya & Harajuku with a toddler (2–3) 3 spots
Shibuya-Harajuku pairs one of the world's busiest pedestrian crossings with Japan's youth-culture hub. Yoyogi Park sits just behind the most crowded streets, minutes from wide lawns. It suits families balancing teens who shop and toddlers who need rest.

The great torii where the south and north approaches meet stands 12 meters high and 17.1 meters wide with pillars 1.2 meters across, the largest wooden myojin-style torii in Japan, and you walk under it over the gravel. Along the approach stand rows of straw-wrapped sake barrels offered by brewers from all over Japan, and wine barrels offered by celebrated houses in Burgundy, France.Running and sports are not allowed in the precinct without permission, and the shrine asks visitors to dress suitably for worship and to spend their time quietly. When a child needs to move, head round to the lawn north of the main hall. Eating outside the designated places is not allowed either, so keep snacks for Mori no Terrace or Forest Terrace Meiji Jingu. At New Year the approach is filled with worshippers every year.
From Sky Edge on the roof you look straight down on the scramble crossing. On 46F, Time River is a device where you touch imagery that makes the flow of time visible. After dark, the pillar of light called Crossing Light rises into the Shibuya sky every day from 19:00, on the hour and the half hour.To go out on the roof you leave your own stroller on 46F; only the loan stroller goes up, and even that cannot enter some areas such as the heliport. Inside there are stairs and escalators, and some spots are deliberately kept dark underfoot for effect — with a stroller, or if footing worries you, ask a nearby staff member and they will show you to the priority elevator. No food or drink may be brought in at all, and even gum is firmly refused. The roof closes without notice in strong wind, rain, snow, lightning or extreme heat, but the indoor observation corridor on 46F stays open on those days.
A sweets stall stands inside the restaurant, serving freshly made crepes you can eat only here, from 280 yen. Sushi starts at 150 yen a plate.Orders are not placed on a table touch panel: the contactless "Smart Kura Sushi" system takes them from your own phone. Free Wi-Fi and CHARGE SPOT (portable battery rental) are available in the store. Takeout is not offered for individual sushi, side dishes, or drinks, so leftovers cannot be carried out. Last entry is 30 minutes before closing.
