Major factor in these walking difficulty lies in the unique terrain called "mortar". Shibuya As the place name, Shibuya Station is located on the "bottom" of the valley bottom, in the surrounding area that is spreading hill, such as Dogenzaka and Miya Miyamasuzaka. If a Ginza and flat places of the terrain, such as Shinjuku, but it is also possible to walk to mark the landmark in the distance, Shibuya is difficult to understand what's on the other side of the hill and turn, become a landmark land difficult to set the mark. Eventually lose sight of your location, it would wander through the "maze" of Shibuya.
