After a long-awaited renovation and refurbishment, the iconic Tsutaya store in Shibuya finally reopened on Thursday, April 25. Along with the newly renovated retail space, Tokyo's most famous Starbucks also reopened on the same day.
Before closing for renovation, this particular Starbucks was extremely popular as it offered a great view of the Shibuya Scramble Crossing. Luckily, the cafe opened in the same location as before, but with an interesting new design concept.
Starbucks occupies the first and second floors, with the first floor offering only takeaway drinks from the baristas at the Koen-dori Street-facing entrance.
The second floor features a café based on the Starbucks green ribbon concept, with seats placed on massive green ribbons stretching throughout the space.
