From Other Shibuya Station Lines (Besides JR), Aim for “Hachiko at Scramble Crossing”

Therefore, for those coming from other train lines, heading towards the Scramble Crossing, where Hachiko is located, is the foolproof way to get to Miyamasu-zaka.

Recommended Meeting Spots Near Miyamasu-zaka Exit

The area right outside the Miyamasu-zaka Exit can be very crowded and isn’t ideal for meeting up. There are two recommended meeting spots very close by.

Recommended Meeting Spot Near Miyamasu-zaka Exit ① Mizuho Bank

Mizuho Bank Shibuya Branch, visible across the street from the Miyamasu-zaka Exit, is an easy-to-understand and recommended meeting spot. If you can make it to the Miyamasu-zaka Exit, you’ll definitely see it, making it clear. However, a weakness is that this spot is also on a busy street, which might make it difficult to stand and wait comfortably. So, this spot is recommended for Shibuya experts!

Recommended Meeting Spot Near Miyamasu-zaka Exit ② Bic Camera

Bic Camera is located at the Miyamasu-zaka-shita Crossing, where the Miyamasu-zaka Exit is. You might think, “If it’s so prominent, why not just meet at Bic Camera from the start?” But this Bic Camera is actually a bit out of sight and hard to spot from the Miyamasu-zaka Exit. It’s just past the Miyamasu-zaka-shita Crossing towards Shibuya, but its entrance is a little further into the intersection, and it’s somewhat smaller or narrower than expected, making it a bit hard to find.

However, as a meeting spot, it’s easy to understand and good for killing time if your meeting partner is late. Since both are very close, Mizuho Bank is good if your meeting partner is new to Shibuya, and Bic Camera is good if they already know it.
