Within walking distance from Shibuya Station, you’ll find the official shops Pokémon Center Shibuya and Nintendo TOKYO on the 6th floor of Shibuya PARCO. Both are must-visit destinations packed with the latest merchandise and exclusive items, attracting fans and tourists from all over the world.
However, the route from Shibuya Station to PARCO can be crowded and a little confusing for first-time visitors. This guide explains the easiest way to get to Pokémon Center Shibuya and Nintendo TOKYO with photos, making it simple even for those who are new to Shibuya or just stopping by while sightseeing.
Start from Shibuya Scramble Crossing
Begin at the famous Shibuya Scramble Crossing. From here, it’s about a 7-minute walk to Shibuya PARCO.
Head towards the entrance of Shibuya Center Street (Center-gai), which you’ll find between Shibuya TSUTAYA and Taiseido Bookstore ”大盛堂書店”.
Look for the distinctive archway marking the entrance to Center Street, located diagonally across from the Hachiko Exit.
Walk Straight Through Center Street
Once inside Center Street, just follow the road straight ahead. There are a few side streets, but if you continue forward, you won’t get lost.
Keep walking straight until you reach a major intersection. Stay on the main path and continue forward.
Turn Right at the McDonald’s Intersection
After a short walk, you’ll see a McDonald’s on your left-hand side. This is the key landmark. At this intersection, turn right.
As you turn, you’ll notice a building with a blue sign and large red letters reading “カラオケ館” (Karaoke Kan) on your right. This is a popular karaoke chain in Japan and a useful landmark. Keep walking straight on this road.
Cross the Crosswalk and Head to Spain-zaka (Spain Slope)
Soon, you’ll come to a crosswalk. After crossing, you’ll see a Matsumotokiyoshi drugstore on the corner — it’s a shop with a blue exterior and a bright yellow sign with black letters spelling “マツモトキヨシ”. Take the street next to this shop. This slope is called Spain-zaka (Spain Slope).
Walk straight up this slope. At the end of the street, Shibuya PARCO will be right in front of you.
Keep walking straight until you reach the end of the road.
Go up the stairs.
Arriving at Shibuya PARCO
At the top of Spain-zaka, you’ll see Shibuya PARCO directly ahead. Pokémon Center Shibuya and Nintendo TOKYO are located on the 6th floor.
Important Note for Visits Between 10:00–11:00 AM
Normally, the 1st–5th floors of Shibuya PARCO open at 11:00 AM.
If you want to enter between 10:00 and 11:00 AM, use the entrance from Spain-zaka and take the escalator to the 4th floor, then continue via the stairs.
Keep this in mind if you’re planning an early visit.
