A New Tower on Shibuya’s Eastern Edge

A few minutes’ walk from Shibuya Station’s east exit, along the Shibuya River promenade, a new high-rise joined the skyline in July 2024. Shibuya Axsh rises 23 floors above ground and 4 below, reaching approximately 120 meters. Developed by the Shibuya 2-chome 17-chiku Urban Redevelopment Association—a project anchored by Tokyu Corporation—it stands immediately north of Shibuya Stream, connecting the redeveloped zone that runs from the station toward the river.

The lower floors house commercial and event-hall functions, while the upper floors are devoted to offices. At street level, the building opens onto the river walk, threading its footprint into the green-and-water corridor that now runs alongside the Shibuya River. What was once a dense cluster of low-rise shops and narrow lanes has become a carefully planned public space that draws the river back into view.

Part of a Decade of Change

Shibuya’s transformation has unfolded over more than a decade: Shibuya Hikarie opened in 2012, Shibuya Stream in 2018, the east tower of Shibuya Scramble Square in 2019. Shibuya Axsh, completed in 2024, represents the latest chapter. Each project has incrementally reorganized the station’s surroundings, replacing patchwork development with integrated mixed-use buildings and broadened pedestrian routes.

The river corridor that links these buildings—once hidden beneath roads and buildings—is now a navigable promenade. Walking from Shibuya Stream to Shibuya Axsh offers a close-up view of this urban renewal: the river to one side, towers of different vintages to the other.

Summary

Shibuya Axsh opened in July 2024 as a 23-story, 120-meter mixed-use tower at the northern edge of the Shibuya Stream complex. Developed by the Shibuya 2-chome 17-chiku Urban Redevelopment Association, it brings offices, retail, and event space to Shibuya’s east side. The river promenade below is the ideal starting point for a walk through one of Tokyo’s most actively changing neighborhoods.
