Train station • 4 Shinsencho, Shibuya City, Tokyo 150-0045, Japan
This is a proposed article structure introducing the charm of the area around Kamiyama Station in Shibuya, Tokyo.
The name of Kamiyama Station is related to the legend of "Kamiyama Water," which was said to be used by an immortal to make an elixir of immortality. It is said that the Sage Kappatsusennin used a spring that was in this area, and as a result, this area came to be called "Kamiyama."
Kamiyama Station is within walking distance of the center of Shibuya, yet it is located in a quiet residential area. The retro streetscape with traditional eateries is a well-kept secret as a hidden spot in Shibuya.
Although Kamiyama Station has an elevated station building, it looks like an underground station because it is located in a tunnel. The unique sight of a small level crossing across the tracks adds to the charm.
Kamiyama Station was equipped with platform screen doors from February 2024. It is the first comfortable facility at a passing station on the Inokashira Line, further enhancing safety.
In addition to convenience stores and bakeries, there are old-fashioned izakaya and local diners around the station, scattered with popular gourmet spots among locals.
Kamiyama Station, served by the Keio Inokashira Line, is just one stop away from Shibuya Station. Its tranquil location within walking distance is its greatest allure.
