Tower Records Shibuya

Amazing place where the records of all possible genres can be found!!! Very well thought on floor arrangement for customers’ convenience. Located in Shibuya, it is not difficult to get to this wonderful store at all. The shop offers just many many records, and they even claim that they are the biggest classical music records collection in the world, and I agree!!! I am very happy that in digital age like today, the businesses that promote physical records like Tower Records are still going strong.

quite an array of new and old and a mix of different artists with a decent price, the vinyls were all split quite well into genres with arranged by letter of artists as well. I personally purchased 26k worth of items and was well worth it! walking and perusing was an experience :^) wished for better deals anyways

Crazy experience! It was so amazing to finally be in Tower Records and you could tell how seriously important Japan takes their music. To have a dedicated huge ambient section featuring the finest artists around the world is something you do not get to experience everyday. There was a signing session and everything was really stimulating in a good way. Staff were so nice and welcoming.

A variety of music including global pop is quite loud, but energetic. You could feel a lot of popular, classic, steady seller in here.

Good to see younger generation are aware of vinyls and cds in the day and age of Spotify. There are new tracks and albums being recorded on to such modules which is good. One can spend quite a while here being introduced to new artistes or revisiting the bygone eras of Pet Shop Boys, Depache Modes etc. Was introduced to Fujii Kaze during this visit as the store was playing his album over. Great songs indeed. Noticed some artistes having a "greet and meet" behind a screen and in the event hall. Not sure who that is but no shouting fans etc. Come here and relive your youth. Indeed, NO MUSIC, NO LIFE!

Good location, very easy to find. Went there for the Vinyls and left with about 8 records. Good selection of artists and genre. Their rating system for the quality of the Vinyls was helpful.

Amazing place for music lovers, really every genre you like. As someone who loves anime, J-pop, K-pop and more it was amazing. There even was a Ghibli big shelf!

They have a large selection of music here, ranging from CDs to vinyl records. The variety of genres is impressive, covering everything from older classics to newer releases. Whether you’re looking for something nostalgic or the latest music, there’s a lot to browse through, making it a great spot for music fans.

No Music. No Life. Impressive Tower Records Tower in Shibuya; an iconic building a& location for over 20 years. Inside you will find an impressive collection of records, CDs, labels and posters... from the golden era to new, for artists from all over the world. Nothing beats a rubber record in hand with songs from your favorite artist. A must visit store while in Tokyo: Shibuya By the way, staff are very knowledgeable and friendly here. Cashiers are super fast and efficient. Makes for a great visit.

Obviously exploring Tower Records requires refueling now and then. Logically, this is the most convenient choice! The pros: - Themes change constantly, which means new decorations and menu offerings - Staff is polite and courteous - Great place for people-watching - You can use your Tower Records point card, and if you purchased something in the regular store earlier you get a cafe discount coupon - There's a take-away counter for beverages with a row of Starbucks-sequel seating (complete with outlets) The cons: - Due to many events going on at once on any given day in the building, this place can be crowded - Wait times are unpredictable - Going with more than three people can be a hassle for seating Worth multiple visits!

For over 20 years, Tower Records in Shibuya has been one of the goto music locations in Tokyo. While the days of purchasing music at Tower Records in America is no longer, in Japan, many continue to purchase CD's and albums thanks to many live performances where artists get the opportunity to perform in front of their fans or the music labels have found ways to attract music listeners to purchase a CD and get something fantastic in return. And while Tower Records is seen as a music mecca, they have also opened a restaurant/cafe in the store, where people can sit down, relax, read a magazine or book and enjoy the atmosphere of the location. And similar to the various niche-based cafe that are seen in Akihabara, Tower Records Cafe also does a good number of collaborations, so a special meal or desert tied to a music artist or group can be sold to the general public. Upon arriving to the cafe, the first thing I observed aside from people sitting and talking with their friends are the number of people, sitting, eating and reading books. On the shelves were fashion/pop culture magazines that were focused on America or European pop culture, which was surprising. Customer service was quick and easy. While at the cafe, I was amazed by the menu of the location. Appetizers, salads, cafe dishes, pasta, risotto and soup, pizza, hamburger and panini, meat and fish dishes, Tower Records Cafe has a great selection and you can also get a soft drink or alcohol with your dish. I decided to check out the rice omelet for 1,100 yen. One of the popular dishes sold at Tower Records cafe, the omurice (omelet with rice inside) featured a delicious sauce and a lot of cheese on top of the omurice. Definitely one of the more delicious omurice I tasted during my stay in Japan, I can easily recommend Tower Records Cafe for the environment and delicious food!

I came here for the rilakkuma theme because my sister is crazy about it. The wait wasn't that bad. The food was ok. It's basically for the theme. Overall, I wouldn't go back for the food but it was cute.
