Afternoon Tea TEAROOM

Business hours: 10:00 - 21:00

Location: West Building 1F

Afternoon Tea TEAROOM is a shop you are probably familiar with! It is a cute little store combining afternoon tea and lifestyle goods, but the SHIBUYA MARK CITY branch focuses more on afternoon tea items.

A popular recommendation is the limited "Afternoon Tea set (アフタヌーンティーセット)" available from 2:00 PM. It includes three types of desserts and freshly brewed afternoon tea. It is limited in quantity, so grab it quickly.

Although it is a "TEAROOM" focusing on meals, you can still buy some lifestyle goods! Most of them are tea-related items such as tea bags, snacks, jams, thermoses, and tea utensils.

There is a hidden photo spot in SHIBUYA MARK CITY, did you know?! It is at the exit towards Dogenzaka. There is an arched tunnel resembling an art installation, with completely different styles during the day and at night. Highly recommended for photo check-ins.

While SHIBUYA MARK CITY connects to JR and Tokyo Metro Shibuya Station, you can also overlook the famous Shibuya Scramble Crossing. It is a secret spot secretly acknowledged by Tokyo locals.

Finally, here is a helpful travel tip: On the 4th floor of the East Building of SHIBUYA MARK CITY, there is a "Travelex" counter for foreign currency exchange. It can be a lifesaver if you get too caught up shopping in Shibuya!
