Miyashita Park is a public park on the roof of a long, low shopping building beside the Yamanote tracks, a few minutes' walk north of Shibuya Station. The roof has a lawn, a skate park and a bouldering wall and is free to enter. Below it are RAYARD shops and Shibuya Yokocho, an alley of regional Japanese food.
Miyashita Park is a free public park on the roof of a long, low shopping building that runs beside the JR Yamanote Line tracks, about three minutes on foot from Shibuya Station. Up top there is a lawn of about 1,000 m², a skate park and a bouldering wall. Underneath are the RAYARD MIYASHITA PARK shops, a food hall and Shibuya Yokocho, a 100 m alley of regional Japanese food counters that stays open into the early hours.
That mix makes it one of the few places near the station where you can sit down outside without buying anything. It is on most lists of things to do in Shibuya for that reason.
The Tokyo government planned a park here in 1948 and it opened in 1953. In 1964 it was lifted onto an artificial deck above a car park. In 2008 Nike planned to buy the naming rights and call it “Miyashita Nike Park”, with a skate ground and a cafe, and the plan drew protests, partly because it meant moving homeless people who lived in the park.
The version you see today came from a larger rebuild by Mitsui Fudosan. It reopened in July 2020 as a shopping complex with the park on its roof. The park is still a Shibuya ward park, which is why the roof is free.
The official park website was under maintenance when this page was checked, and the park operator’s site would not load. The figures below come from a rurubu travel listing last updated in November 2024, so treat them as a guide and check on the day.
| Rooftop (rurubu, 2024) | Detail |
|---|---|
| Park hours | 8:00 to 23:00 |
| Sports facilities | 9:00 to 22:00, last reception 21:30 |
| Closed | 29 December to 3 January, and maintenance days |
| Lawn | About 1,000 m² |
| Skate park | 480 m², two-hour sessions, walk-in registration |
| Bouldering wall | Two-hour sessions, walk-in registration |
| Sand court | 36 m x 19 m, groups of five or more, booked ahead |
The skate park and bouldering wall charge per session, with lower rates for Shibuya residents. The lawn costs nothing.
One rule to know: the year-round street-drinking ban covers the Miyashita Park area every night from 18:00 to 05:00, since 1 October 2024. There is no fine, but staff will ask you to stop. Littering, on the other hand, now carries an on-the-spot ¥2,000 fine anywhere in the ward, since 1 June 2026.
The building below the park is a mall called RAYARD MIYASHITA PARK, split into a North and a South building. Travel guides count about 90 shops across it, and the official page lists a food hall and a tax-free counter.
Checked October 2026, from the official Mitsui Shopping Park page:
| Area | Hours |
|---|---|
| Shops | 11:00 to 21:00 (some differ) |
| Restaurants | 11:00 to 23:00 (some differ) |
| Food hall | 11:00 to 22:30 weekdays; 10:30 to 22:30 weekends and holidays |
The address is 6-20-10 Jingumae, Shibuya-ku. For more on the shops and how this mall compares with Parco and 109, see Shibuya shopping.
Shibuya Yokocho is the reason many people come at night. It takes up the ground floor of the South building: a 100 m row of 19 eateries when it opened in 2020, each cooking food from a different region of Japan, from Hokkaido to Okinawa. The Kanto counter, for example, lists Edo-mae sushi, Tochigi gyoza and tempura on its official page.
Hours are long. Checked October 2026, the official store pages show temporary hours of 11:00 to 05:00 the next morning from Monday to Saturday and on holidays, and 11:00 to 23:00 on Sundays, which may change without notice.
It is louder, newer and roomier than Nonbei Yokocho, the post-war bar alley just south of the park. If you want to see both on one evening, the Shibuya Highlights Walking Tour & Secret View Spot covers Nonbei Yokocho and Miyashita Park with the crossing and Center Gai in 90 minutes, and you can come back on your own to eat. Food ideas for the rest of the district are on the Shibuya restaurants page.
The complex also includes a hotel, sequence MIYASHITA PARK, built as part of the same Mitsui Fudosan development. For places to stay around the station, see Shibuya hotels.
The roof opens at 8:00, three hours before the shops, so an early visit gets you the lawn before the mall wakes up. At night the building is lit and Shibuya Yokocho stays busy into the early hours, while the roof closes at about 23:00. The year-round drinking ban starts at 18:00, so an evening picnic on the lawn means soft drinks only.
From Shibuya Station, Miyashita Park is about three minutes on foot. It stretches north beside the Yamanote Line tracks, in the direction of Harajuku, one stop up the line. Nonbei Yokocho sits beside the same tracks just to the south. For the whole area, start at the Shibuya Japan homepage.

Yes. The rooftop is a Shibuya ward park and costs nothing to enter, so you can sit on the lawn or walk the length of the roof for free. The skate park, bouldering wall and sand court charge for sessions. Fees for those were last published by a travel guide in 2024, so check at the reception before you plan a session.
A 2024 travel listing gives the park as 8:00 to 23:00 and the sports facilities as 9:00 to 22:00, with last reception at 21:30, closed 29 December to 3 January. The official park website was under maintenance in October 2026. The shops below open 11:00 to 21:00 and the restaurants 11:00 to 23:00.
Shibuya Yokocho is a 100 m row of small food counters on the ground floor of Miyashita Park's south building. When it opened in 2020 it had 19 eateries, each serving regional dishes from a different part of Japan. The official store pages listed temporary hours of 11:00 to 05:00 the next morning, and 11:00 to 23:00 on Sundays.
Not on the roof or the street at night. Since 1 October 2024 Shibuya bans drinking in public places around the station every night from 18:00 to 05:00, and the zone was widened to include the Miyashita Park area. There is no fine; staff ask you to stop. The ban covers streets, parks and other public places, not the bars and restaurants inside.
It is about three minutes on foot from Shibuya Station, according to a family travel guide, and stretches north alongside the JR Yamanote Line tracks in the direction of Harajuku, one stop up the line. Nonbei Yokocho, the old bar alley, sits beside the same tracks just south of the park.
Nonbei Yokocho, "drunkard's alley", is a narrow alley of tiny bars and yakitori counters beside the JR tracks at Shibuya Station, built in 1950.
Shibuya's food clusters in a few places: Shibuya Yokocho under Miyashita Park for regional Japanese dishes, Nonbei Yokocho for yakitori and tiny bars, Center Gai and Dogenzaka for ramen and casual izakaya, and the food halls in Mark City and Parco.
Shibuya's shopping is packed into a few buildings a short walk from the station: Shibuya 109 for young women's fashion, Parco for designer labels and its 6th-floor game shops, Miyashita Park's mall, Tower Records and MEGA Don Quijote.
Harajuku is the district one JR Yamanote stop north of Shibuya: 2 minutes by train for ¥155 on an IC card, or 15 to 20 minutes on foot.
