I need some help.

Got writer's block.

Essay due in two days.

To be four pages long.

Travel essay, explaining what to do in Shibuya.

And while I have a list of what's good to do there, what to see, I can't explain why it's interesting.

Oh, and the essay is to be in Japanese, but that's of no consequence.

Yoyogi Park, the statue of Hachiko, Meiji Shrine, the Shibuya Scramble, and the statue of Moyai are all supposed to be interesting.

At least, they are to me.

Can't even explain why in English.

HALP!

You can hang out with Ran Kotobuki, the queen of Shibuya!

Oh, right, sorry. >.<

As for the landmarks, because they're places of historical significance?

hmm

Shibuya is a big hang out district for the younger corwd and offers lots of night life sort of options, from karaokie to game centers to shopping. one of the big atractions is Hatchi the dog, a memoriol to a dog and his owner, though the origonal was melted during the war for metal a new one has replaced it today.

not so many people live in shibuya but instead take the train into it. its a busy place and often houses large hotels and shopping centers.

thats about all i know.

How about find a place that sells fugu. Buy a tanuki, and a good fortune cat, maybe one of those heads that has one eye too.

Visit a shrine and get a new fortune, unless they are sold only at new year's.

Find an onsen, and try to think of what else to do.
Have Fun

Haven't played TWEWY, but I have been to Shibuya. ^_^

Do you know the story of the Hachiko statue?
There are a bunch of clubs and bars there.  At nights on the weekends you can see a number of drunk businessmen.
The crosswalk outside the station is (I believe) the busiest crosswalk in the world (or has the most foot traffic, whichever sounds better).
Has train connections to the main hub of Tokyo (Yamanote line), to the subway, and to some of the outskirts West of Shibuya.

And my of my favorite sayings from a friend:
"Putting the BOOYA back in Shibuya."
