This series compares event venues in Tokyo area by area. This article covers Shibuya and Ebisu. For step-by-step directions to each venue, see the venue guides on BizinTokyo linked below.

Shibuya is home to many IT companies, startups and creative firms. For tech and startup events, it is one of the first areas people consider, along with Roppongi. Both hotels and rental halls here have large rooms for more than 1,000 people. The area around Shibuya Station is in the middle of a large redevelopment, so station exits and passageways sometimes change. In Ebisu, The Westin Tokyo has its event rooms and guest rooms in the same building, and there is a direct airport bus from Narita.
