Shibuya Sakura Stage is a next-generation landmark built in Shibuya with a variety of facilities rooted in people's lives, learning, and play, based on the concept of a walkable and fun town. Just one month before full operation begins, on June 29th, an event themed on human connections has been scheduled.

 

This event is held with the hope that people who visit the place for various purposes will connect with each other and become a creative base where new relationships and ideas will be born. It is planned and run by 404 Not Found, a creator support facility on the 4th floor of Shibuya Sakura Stage. Creators, artists, companies and organizations will set up booths to sell their own works, food, products and more, and will promote interaction between visitors through talk sessions and networking events.

 

Participating this time are friends who will be creating "fun" together after 404 Not Found opens in July. At this event, we will be giving a sneak peek at the various projects currently being planned for the opening, and you will be able to experience the fun of 404 Not Found.

In addition, the social media app "MABLs" developed by Tokyu Real Estate has also been confirmed to participate in this event.
Utilizing "MABLs," we will create events that connect creators and visitors and generate new value through these encounters.

 

Come to Shibuya Sakura Stage to feel the early summer coming and meet new friends.
