Honeymoons at Shibuya Excel Hotel Tokyu: is it a good pick?
Yes — Shibuya Excel Hotel Tokyu is a practical honeymoon pick if you prioritize being in the heart of Shibuya with easy station access, city views and convenient dining. If you want resort-style amenities (pool or spa) or large private-suite space, this hotel is less suited — it focuses on location, city-view rooms and event facilities.
In this guide
Location: in the middle of Shibuya nightlife and sightseeing
The hotel sits inside Shibuya Mark City directly above Shibuya Station, so trains (JR Yamanote, Tokyo Metro and Tokyu lines) are accessible without stepping outside. This makes getting around Tokyo and taking day trips straightforward.
Key Shibuya sights are very close: Shibuya Scramble Crossing is about 120 meters (a 2–3 minute walk), the Hachiko Statue about 80–90 meters (roughly 5 minutes), and SHIBUYA SKY about 230 meters away.
- Direct connection to Shibuya Station (JR, Tokyo Metro, Tokyu lines)
- Shibuya Scramble Crossing ~120 m (2–3 min walk)
- Hachiko Statue ~80–90 m (about 5 min walk)
- SHIBUYA SKY ~230 m (short walk)
| Nearby spot | Approx. distance |
|---|---|
| Shibuya Scramble Crossing | ≈120 m |
| Hachiko Statue | ≈80–90 m |
| SHIBUYA SKY | ≈230 m |
Rooms: which room types suit honeymooners
Rooms offer city views and compact, well-lit layouts rather than large luxury suites. Honeymooners who want a larger-feeling room or a king bed should look at higher-floor room types when available.

- Premier, 14 - 19F Room — higher floor, 1 King Bed in some inventory (check listing)
- Excel, 21 - 24F Room — upper-level Excel Floor (security-conscious)
- Superior Room with Park View — offers a Queen Bed and a park outlook
- Standard Double, 7 - 12F — compact double room option
| Room name | Typical bed |
|---|---|
| Premier, 14 - 19F Room | 1 King Bed |
