How to Get to Shibuya Station’s A3 Exit (A3a, A3b): From Yamanote Line, Hanzomon Line, and Nearby Ticket Gates

2025.07.07

Shibuya Station’s “A3 Exit” actually consists of two exits, A3a and A3b, both located in roughly the same area. They lead out near the front-right of the Shibuya 109 building when walking from Hachiko Mae Plaza towards 109. Specifically, the A3b exit is the closest exit to Center Gai, making it a very important exit.

So, this time, Shibutama will guide you on how to get to Shibuya Station’s A3 exits (A3a, A3b)! We’ll also cover directions from lines other than just the subway.

Shibuya Station’s A3 Exits are Near the Front-Right of 109! A3b is the Closest Exit to Center Gai

Shibuya Station’s A3 exits lead out near the front-right corner of the Shibuya 109 building, if you’re walking from Hachiko Mae Plaza towards 109. A3a is diagonally across from 109, and A3b is a short walk down a side street from there. This makes the A3b exit the closest to Center Gai.

If you’re coming from subway lines like the Hanzomon Line, you likely won’t get lost if you follow the A3 exit signs. However, if you’re coming from ground-level lines like the JR Line or Ginza Line, it’s easiest to aim for Shibuya 109 first.

Main Spots Accessible from Shibuya Station’s A3 Exits (A3a, A3b)

Here are some of the main spots you can reach from Shibuya Station’s A3 Exits:
