When you start planning your trip to Japan, you are sure to want to book a hostel in Tokyo to give you the opportunity to explore the vibrant capital. Modern skyscrapers meet ancient temples and shrines and the trendiest districts of the city are home to shops selling outlandish fashions, the latest music and much, much more. If you want to stay in a Tokyo hostel in one of the city's most lively areas, then Shibuya district is for you. Home to some of the largest shopping malls and busiest clubs and restaurants, you are sure to find excitement in this part of the city. When you leave Shibuya Station, you will be greeted by a chaotic intersection that is surrounded by large, neon adverts and big video screens. If you want to find out about one of the city's folk stories, make sure you leave the station via the Hachiko exit. Here you will find a statue of a dog, called Hachiko, which is a symbol of loyalty and is commonly used as a meeting place. From here you will be able to get your bearings and decide which of the giant malls and bustling streets to tackle first! If you are looking for some of the newest fashion trends to hit Japanese stores then a visit to the Shibuya 109 Building is recommended. Packed full of boutiques offering the latest styles, you are sure to find something to take home with you as a memento of your visit. Another large department store that is worth a visit is Parco and the pedestrian street leading up to it - which is known as Spain Slope due to the cafes, restaurants and shops that spread out on to the walkway. Center Gai will offer you a chance to browse clothing stores alongside record shops and video game arcades. This road that stretches away from the station is renowned for being one of the birthplaces of many Japanese fashion trends. If all that retail therapy has worn you out, then just pull up a seat at one of the many cafes or restaurants that populate this district of Tokyo and regain your breath while indulging in some people watching to see if you can spot the next big thing.
