Japanophiles take note, Shibuya will soon add to its already impressive list of attractions.

On November 1, 2019, Shibuya will see the opening of its tallest mall, Shibuya Scramble Square.

The shopping mall/ office complex is accessible from the east exit of JR Shibuya station.

It should not be hard to spot with its looming height of 230m, which consists of 47 floors.

For the shopaholics, there's plenty of retail space to explore, from the second to 14th floor housing 213 outlets.

According to Japan Travel, the shops there will be something else as well ⁠— with 37 brand new retailers, 45 new to the Shibuya area, and seven stores wholly new to Japan.

360-panoramic views

A rare opportunity the new mall will provide is a 360-degree panoramic view of the Shibuya skyline, and on a clear day, perhaps even Mount Fuji.

You'll get that view on the Shibuya Sky, Shibuya's highest observation deck located on the top three floors of the building.

To get there, you'll have to cough up 2,000 yen (S$25.12), but it's a rare treat to get a panoramic view of the city.

You can get tickets to the deck on the 14th floor.

There also appears to be a freaking helipad on the roof.

The last entry for the observation deck is at 10pm.

Sweet.
