This is the 2nd time I feature the renovation of Shibuya Station. On January 2023, the platform of Yamanote Line was integrated into one, which means both sides of one platform is used for both directions.
You may think such renovation is common all over the world, but for people in Tokyo, this was a special event. Shibuya is the center of Japan’s urban culture, especially that for younger generations, so many people went through this station plenty of times. For them, the previous structure of Yamanote Line platform, one of which is exclusively used for one direction and the other for the other direction. was imprinted for their minds. That is why this renovation was featured in many news blitzes.
