It won't be too long before the Shibuya Station we recognize (starting with Gamera 3) will be a thing of the past.

The work has begun to redevelop Shibuya Station into a modern facility with high rises.

According to RocketNews 24:

If you’ve been to Shibuya Station recently, you’ll have seen one area in particular that’s filled with crowds, noise and trucks; and it’s not the meeting place around the famous statue of Hachiko. 

It’s the massive redevelopment project currently underway to revitalise the district and deliver a completely new-looking Shibuya by 2027. Latest pictures of the next high-rise in the pipeline reveal just how amazing life in Neo-Tokyo will be.
