Shibuya Station, from where the Narita Express departs, is a true urban labyrinth, renowned for its multiple levels and its famous scramble crossing. The underground platforms for the Narita Express are located at a considerable depth, beneath most other lines. This required significant engineering feats during their construction and integration into an already dense transportation hub. This complexity showcases Japanese ingenuity in optimizing urban space, even underground, to efficiently connect crucial points like an international airport and a vibrant district like Shibuya.
