Introduction — What This Guide Covers
The Shibuya Incident arc is one of the most intense and memorable parts of Jujutsu Kaisen.
Set almost entirely in Shibuya, the story uses real underground stations, streets, and landmarks to create a sense of realism and scale.
In this guide, you’ll find:
- Real-life locations featured in the Shibuya Incident
- A recommended walking order
- Access notes for complex underground areas
- Photography and etiquette tips
- Optional and historical locations that no longer exist
Shibuya Incident Pilgrimage Route (Walking Order)
Most locations are concentrated around Shibuya Station, but the area has:
- Multiple underground levels
- Ticketed and non-ticketed zones
- Sudden changes in elevation
This route is designed to:
- Minimize backtracking
- Reduce unnecessary stair use
- Match the anime’s spatial flow as closely as possible
Starting underground and finishing above ground is strongly recommended.
Main Jujutsu Kaisen Pilgrimage Spots in Shibuya
Fukutoshin Line Platform No. 6 — Gojo Satoru Sealed (S2E9)
This platform is the real-world model for the scene in which Gojo Satoru is sealed during the Shibuya Incident.
The platform is located inside the ticketed area. To access it, visitors must either arrive in Shibuya via the Fukutoshin Line or plan to visit this spot last and depart using the same line.
Depending on the time of day, the platform can become crowded. The surrounding pillars, platform width, and ceiling height correspond closely to the anime depiction.
The following lines allow access to the Fukutoshin Line platform without exiting the ticketed area:
- Tokyo Metro Fukutoshin Line
- Tokyu Toyoko Line
- Tokyo Metro Hanzomon Line
- Tokyu Den-en-toshi Line
In Front of the Restroom Inside Hikarie Gate 1 — Yuji Itadori vs. Choso (S2E13)
From the Fukutoshin Line platform, ascending to the upper underground level leads to a long, straight corridor.
This corridor is where Yuji Itadori fights Choso. The restroom where the battle concludes is located along this passage.
The length, straight-line visibility, and placement of walls and fixtures are closely reproduced in the anime, making this one of the most accurate underground adaptations in the arc.
Underground Atrium in Front of Hikarie Gate 1 & 2 — Civilians Trapped Underground (S2E8)
After exiting the ticket gates, you arrive at a large underground atrium positioned between Hikarie Gate 1 and Hikarie Gate 2.
This is where Gojo Satoru arrives in Shibuya and becomes aware that civilians are trapped underground beneath the veil (localized overseas as a barrier).
The atrium is vertically open, allowing views from Basement Level 3 down to the platforms on Basement Level 5.
It functions as a central hub connecting multiple rail lines and physically links Shibuya Scramble Square (B2) with Shibuya Hikarie (B3).
In Front of Hikarie Basement Level 3 — Gojo Observing the Situation (S2E8)
This location is approximately a 10-second walk from the underground atrium.
Here, Gojo Satoru is again shown observing civilians trapped underground.
The distinctive escalator and elevator hall, including its vertical openness and sightlines, matches the anime depiction.
Hachiko Square — Silence Under the Veil (S2E7)
Hachiko Square is located above ground, and reaching it from the underground area requires navigating several corridors.
From the atrium, face Hikarie Gate 1 and take the corridor extending to the left. Continue straight, follow the path as it curves left, and after approximately 50 meters you will reach Exit A8.
In Jujutsu Kaisen, Hachiko Square appears under the veil, depicted as an unusually silent space while civilians remain trapped underground.
Shibuya Hachiko Exit Bicycle Parking — Season 2 Ending Scene
This bicycle parking area appears in the Season 2 ending sequence.
While visually ordinary, it is a recurring background location used in multiple anime works.
Its inclusion emphasizes the everyday urban spaces incorporated into the Shibuya Incident setting.
Miyashita No. 1 Pedestrian Bridge — Nanami and Ijichi’s Meeting (S2)
Nanami Kento and Ijichi Kiyotaka meet on this pedestrian bridge.
Later, it is revealed as the location where Ijichi is attacked by Haruta Shigemo.
The bridge’s elevation above street level and clear sightlines align with its anime portrayal.
Shibuya MODI — Attempt to Break the Veil (S2E11)
In front of Shibuya MODI, Yuji Itadori, Megumi Fushiguro, and Ino Takuma attempt to break the veil.
From the sidewalk opposite MODI, Cerulean Tower is visible.
In the story, this tower is where Awase Jiro, Ogami Granny, and her grandson maintain the barrier, matching the real-world spatial relationship.
In Front of Ryuko Building (Udagawacho Stairs) — Ending Scene (Season 2)
These stairs appear in the Season 2 ending, where Yuji Itadori, Megumi Fushiguro, and Nobara Kugisaki are shown together.
The slope where the stairs are located is sometimes referred to as “Cisco Slope.”
This is a relatively obscure location that would likely remain unnoticed without its anime connection.
Shōto Bunkamura Street (Former Tokyu Department Store Site) (S1E12)
The Tokyu Department Store shown in the anime has already been demolished.
Although the building no longer exists, the street layout and surrounding atmosphere remain consistent with the anime depiction.
This area has lower pedestrian traffic compared to the station vicinity.
Shibuya 109 Intersection — Megumi Summons Mahoraga (S2E17)
This intersection in front of Shibuya 109 is where Megumi Fushiguro, after being cornered by Haruta Shigemo, summons Mahoraga—his strongest shikigami—with the intent of taking Haruta down with him.
The scene’s location directly corresponds to the real intersection layout.
In Front of Shibuya Hachiko Gate (Den-en-toshi / Hanzomon Lines) — Nanami’s Final Moments (S2E18)
This underground area marks the location where Nanami Kento meets his end.
Access is via Exit A3a near the Shibuya 109 intersection, descending to Basement Level 2.
The spot is located near the staircases leading to Exits 4 and 5.
Just before Nanami encounters Mahito, Yuji Itadori descends via the stairs at Exit A6, located directly beneath the Shibuya Scramble Crossing.
“Myth of Tomorrow” Mural — Battle with Dagon (S2E14)
This mural is located along the second-floor connecting passage near Shibuya Mark City and the Keio Inokashira Line.
This is where Nanami Kento, Maki Zenin, and Naobito Zenin fight the special-grade cursed spirit Dagon.
The interior passage layout and vertical transitions match the anime’s spatial depiction.
“Louvers of Mirror” by Vito Acconci — Waiting Point (S2E7)
This mirrored art installation stands at the entrance of Shibuya Mark City’s Restaurant Avenue.
During the Shibuya operation, Maki Zenin, Naobito Zenin, and Nobara Kugisaki wait at this location.
The anime scene takes place at night, consistent with the site’s lighting conditions.
Shibuya Pedestrian Bridge (Shibuya Bridge 21) — Battle Above the Expressway (S2E11)
Yuji Itadori and Megumi Fushiguro fight Awase Jiro above the expressway in this scene.
Officially known as Shibuya Bridge 21, the bridge crosses National Route 246 and the Shuto Expressway Route 3, connecting the Shibuya Station area with Cerulean Tower Tokyu Hotel.
Cerulean Tower — Model for Shibuya Central Tower (S2E11)
Cerulean Tower is directly connected to Shibuya Bridge 21.
This 41-story skyscraper houses a hotel, offices, restaurants, and a Noh theater.
In Jujutsu Kaisen, it appears as “Shibuya Central Tower.”
In the story, Awase Jiro, Ogami Granny, and her grandson maintain the veil here.
Yuji Itadori leaps toward the rooftop alongside a shikigami, an action contextualized by the tower’s real-world scale.
Starbucks Coffee in Front of Shibuya Stream — Kusakabe vs. Panda (S2E16)
This Starbucks is located on the second floor of Shibuya Stream.
Here, Atsuya Kusakabe temporarily restrains Panda before they are discovered by other jujutsu sorcerers.
The surrounding walkways and elevation correspond closely to the anime scene.
Photography Tips and Local Etiquette
- Avoid photographing commuters in underground areas
- Do not block walkways or staircases
- Be especially careful on platforms and near roadways
- Night visits often match the anime atmosphere more closely
