The Instagram account “Shibuya Meltdown™” observes the ever-shifting Shibuya district from a particular perspective. In addition, the area surrounding Shibuya Station, including Shibuya Stream, Shibuya Scramble Square, and Miyashita Park, has been drastically redeveloped, and construction is expected to continue until 2027.Although the area was temporarily deserted due to COVID-19 it is now beginning to regain its former vigor.

In the past few years, Shibuya PARCO has been renovated, and the landscape on Spain-zaka has changed dramatically.
