Don’t forget to stop by the Paradise Lounge on the 46th floor for a light meal, delicious sweets, or a refreshing drink while overlooking the Shibuya Stream and Ebisu. And as you leave, be sure to visit the SHIBUYA SKY SOUVENIR SHOP, where you can purchase a box of Hachichoko, chocolates inspired by the legendary loyal dog, Hachiko.
