Japan View from Magnet Bar Shibuya, Tokyo
Starbucks used to have the best view of the famous Shibuya crossing, but it is currently closed. Luckily, we found an alternative: the Magnet bar! Right across the metro station, you take the escalator and the lift, pay the 1500 entrance fee, and get a drink.
Attention: In this building, you have two options—the Magnet Bar on the 6th floor and the Rooftop Bar on the 7th floor. Before you enter one of them, you should check for photography stuff, and which bar is less crowded at that moment. A lot of people just recognized that the is one bar. So be aware of this tip.

Photography Tips
With a wide angle, you can capture the whole scenery. With a tele lens, you are able to capture interesting details. It's a little like playing "Where is Waldo". Come in the afternoon for nice light or in blue hour.
Bring something like a thin towel and tie it around your lens to avoid the reflections on the glass through which you are shooting.
