Shibuya fashion runs on four buildings with four different jobs: 109 for young women's trends, its MAGNET sibling for menswear, Parco for designers stacked under a games-and-anime floor, and Hikarie for craft and calm. We checked the current directories before writing, because in Shibuya, last year's floor guide is already fiction.
Shibuya fashion guides age like milk. Brands that defined a building move out mid-year, whole floors re-theme, and the blog posts keep listing ghosts. So, as with our Harajuku brand guide, we did what Japanese shoppers do before a trip to the tower: read the current 109 directory and Parco's own floor guide, then wrote only what the buildings say about themselves in 2026.
Here is the mall-by-mall map, with the confirmed tenants, the honest character of each building, and who should walk into which.

What is actually in Shibuya 109 right now?
Per the current directory: Liz Lisa on 6F, EMODA, MOUSSY and dazzlin on 2F, MURUA and GYDA on 5F, WEGO on 7F, plus ANAP, BUBBLES, Darich, EGOIST and EVRIS through the tower. The gyaru cathedral evolved; it did not close.
The cylindrical tower above the crossing has been the bourse of young women's fashion since the gyaru era, and the current shop directory shows the lineage intact. Confirmed on the floors as of this writing: Liz Lisa, the pastel sweet-gyaru institution, holding court on 6F; MOUSSY's vintage-leaning denim and EMODA's sharp monochrome on 2F alongside dazzlin; MURUA's clean femininity and GYDA on 5F; and WEGO's cheap-and-cheerful trend engine up on 7F. Around them, a supporting cast, ANAP, Amavel, BUBBLES, Darich, EGOIST, EVRIS, fills B2 through 8F.
Two cultural notes make the visit richer. The style positioning is the point: walking 2F to 6F is a live seminar in where Japanese trend fashion sits this season, from mode-monochrome to ribboned sweetness. And 109 remains a temple of the fukubukuro, the new-year lucky bags, and of Japan-only collaborations, which is why January queues here make the news. One brand from older guides, Ank Rouge, no longer appears in the directory, our routine reminder that this building's churn is a feature.
What happened to MAGNET, the men's 109?
It stands across the crossing as the menswear counterpart, streetwear and trend labels in tower form. Treat it as 109's sibling: same logic, different wardrobe, plus a rooftop with a crossing view.
MAGNET by Shibuya109 is the men's answer directly over the scramble, and the honest guidance is structural rather than shop-by-shop: its floors carry Japanese men's streetwear and trend labels with the same rapid rotation as the mothership, so check the building's current guide on the day. Its other draw is the rooftop viewing deck over the crossing, which we covered in our Shibuya crossing coverage.

What is Shibuya Parco's actual layout in 2026?
Parco publishes its own zone map: fashion zones called MODE & ART, ADVANCED CONTEMPORARY and 4 ELEMENTS on 2F to 4F, the CYBERSPACE SHIBUYA digital-subculture zone on 6F, and the CHAOS KITCHEN dining floor in the basement.
Parco is Shibuya's most deliberate building, and its official floor guide reads like a manifesto. The fashion stack runs 2F through 4F under Parco's own zone names, MODE & ART, ADVANCED CONTEMPORARY, 4 ELEMENTS, which tells you the register: this is where Japanese designer fashion meets its younger audience, and where the names we profile in the brand hub surface at street level. We route you to the hub rather than pinning designers to floors, because Parco rotates tenants with curatorial glee.
The floor that makes Parco famous abroad is 6F, which Parco itself brands CYBERSPACE SHIBUYA, its digital-and-subculture zone of games, anime and character goods, anchored by the flagship game-and-character stores that put this floor on every pilgrimage list, Nintendo TOKYO and the Pokémon Center among them; confirm the current lineup on the floor guide as you go. Below it all, the B1F CHAOS KITCHEN dining zone means the building feeds you too.
Go if: you want designers and pop culture in one elevator ride. Start elsewhere if: your target is one specific shop; check Parco's live directory the week you fly.

Where do grown-up budgets shop in Shibuya?
Hikarie, the polished tower beside the station: contemporary womenswear floors, serious depachika food halls, and the D47 concept space showcasing design from all 47 prefectures, the best made-in-Japan souvenir hunting in the district.
Shibuya Hikarie is what happens when the neighborhood dresses up: a station-side tower whose retail floors skew contemporary and considered rather than trend-of-the-week. Its quiet treasure for travelers is the D47 concept on the 8th floor, built around design and craft drawn from all 47 prefectures, effectively a curated map of Japanese making, in shop form; check the current floor guide for its latest configuration. For a visitor hunting one meaningful made-in-Japan purchase rather than a haul, this is the floor we send them to.
Which Shibuya mall should you actually go to?
Match the building to the shopper:
| The shopper | One floor to hit | Best for | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 109 | Young women's trend fashion | 2F (MOUSSY, EMODA, dazzlin) | Trend immersion, fukubukuro season |
| MAGNET | Menswear equivalent | Rooftop after the shops | Streetwear browsers |
| Parco | Designers + pop culture | 6F CYBERSPACE SHIBUYA | Game/anime pilgrims, design lovers |
| Hikarie | Considered, craft, food | 8F D47 | Meaningful souvenirs, calm |
The honest meta-advice, learned from checking these directories against years of stale guides: in Shibuya, the building is the constant and the tenants are weather. Pick the building whose job matches your list, walk in with an hour, and let the current floor guide, not any blog, ours included, name the shops. For the street-level neighborhood around all four, our things to do in Shibuya guide completes the day, and the women's brand edit goes deeper on the labels themselves.

FAQ
What brands are in Shibuya 109 now?
Checked against the building's current directory: Liz Lisa on 6F, EMODA, MOUSSY and dazzlin on 2F, MURUA and GYDA on 5F, WEGO on 7F, alongside names like ANAP, BUBBLES, Darich, EGOIST and EVRIS across B2 to 8F. The tower turns over constantly, which is half its point.
Is Shibuya 109 still worth visiting?
Yes, as Japan's live feed of young women's fashion. The gyaru era evolved rather than ended, and the current tenant mix, from Liz Lisa's sweetness to MOUSSY's denim, is where those trends are actually bought. Even non-shoppers get a cultural exhibit in tower form.
What is the difference between Shibuya's malls?
Each has one job: 109 is young women's trend fashion, MAGNET across the crossing is its menswear counterpart, Parco layers designers below a games-and-anime subculture floor, and Hikarie is the polished dining-and-craft option beside the station. Pick by shopper, not by proximity.
