Shibuya is known for its crowds, crossing, and constant movement. But hidden just a few steps from the chaos is a surprisingly calm, stylish retreat: Miyashita Park. Reimagined in 2020, this urban complex blends shopping, food, art, and even a rooftop park, all in one sleek, vertical space.

🌿 From Sleeping Area to City Landmark

Once a narrow park with skate ramps and a reputation as a hangout for Tokyo’s homeless, the area was completely redeveloped into a 4-story multi-use facility that opened in July 2020.

Now known as RAYARD MIYASHITA PARK, it includes:

A mall with trendy Japanese and international brands
A rooftop park with sports facilities
Restaurants, food courts, and outdoor terraces
A stylish hotel: sequence MIYASHITA PARK

It’s one of the best examples of Tokyo’s ability to reinvent public space without losing its personality.

🛍️ Shopping & Food Highlights

Whether you’re into fashion, design, or just curious window-shopping, the complex is full of stylish finds:

Popular Japanese streetwear brands (BEAMS, Journal Standard, atmos)
Sneakers and limited-edition collabs
Smaller local labels and concept stores

🧋 Food-wise, expect everything from bubble tea and takoyaki to vegan ramen and upscale rooftop dining. The Shibuya Yokocho food alley on the second floor recreates the vibe of nostalgic Showa-era izakayas, perfect for a casual drink and some grilled skewers.

🛹 On the Roof: Green Space in the City

The rooftop park is the soul of Miyashita. Open to the public, it includes:

A skatepark
Bouldering wall
Beach volleyball court
Lawn area with city views

It’s the perfect spot to relax, enjoy the breeze, or take a break from sightseeing. You’ll often see locals eating lunch here or photographers snapping the skyline.

And yes, sunsets are fantastic from up here.

🎨 A Cultural Hotspot Too

Miyashita Park isn’t just for shoppers. Art lovers will enjoy:

Murals, installations, and street art scattered throughout the complex
Pop-up exhibitions and fashion events
Live performances in warmer months

It’s become a hub for youth culture and Tokyo creatives, making it more than just a shopping center.
