After 20 years, Shibuya city established a basic concept which highlights the future of the city. Our aim is to fully establish a global city, so we decided on developing the concept: “Shibuya-turning differences into strengths”. To implement this, we made the campaign slogan “YOU MAKE SHIBUYA”. Shibuya welcomes people from all walks of life to experience our city and promote turning differences into strengths for the future of Shibuya city.
