The all-new Miyashita Park features a shopping mall, sports facilities, restaurants, a hotel and a park.
In the course of Shibuya’s recent redevelopment into an ultra-modern, glitzy city, cutting edge high-rise buildings have been added to the skyline over the past few years. Just within the vicinity of the iconic Shibuya Crossing, you’ll find the multipurpose Shibuya Fukuras, the imposing Shibuya Scramble Square building with its jaw-dropping observation deck Shibuya Sky, and the revamped Parco department store.
The newest addition to the line-up is the revamped Miyashita Park. Once a public park along the Yamanote line, it’s been turned into a stylish new complex, complete with a massive shopping mall, plenty of restaurants and cafés, a hotel, and a rooftop park with sports facilities.
While the rooftop park and the Rayard Miyashita Park shopping mall is now open, foodies will have to wait a few days longer, as on-site restaurants and cafés won’t open until 4 August – a measure to curb the spread of the Covid-19 coronavirus.
The shops are a mix of domestic and international brands. You’ll find, for example, the first Asian outpost of New York luxury fashion store Kith, owned and operated by footwear and clothing designer Ronnie Fieg, as well as the pop-up store Shiro T Kiosk by Hatagaya-based shop #FFFFFFT, specialising in plain white t-shirts.
