Shibuya Station’s A5 Exit (A5a, A5b) Guide: From JR, Hanzomon, Den-en-toshi, and Other Lines

Shibuya Station’s A5 exit is located right next to the Scramble Crossing. After you cross the street from the Hachiko statue towards SHIBUYA 109, it’s immediately on your left. The A5 exit is actually two separate entrances, A5a and A5b, but they lead to almost the same spot.

As the SHIBUTAMA team, we’ll show you exactly how to get to the A5 exit! We’ll cover all the major lines, not just the subway.

The A5 Exit is Across the Scramble Crossing towards 109

The A5 exit is located on the other side of the Scramble Crossing from the Hachiko statue, in the direction of SHIBUYA 109. It’s a convenient exit for reaching 109, Dogenzaka, Mark City, and the area around Fukuras and the South Exit.

It’s an especially important exit because it connects the subway lines (Hanzomon, Den-en-toshi, Tokyu Toyoko, and Fukutoshin lines) with the Keio Inokashira Line, which is located in the underground area near the exit.
