About this audio guide
This guide to Shibuya Sky traces two structures that stood on the same patch of ground six decades apart. In 1957 a domed planetarium here let commuters look up at projected stars, until it closed in 2001 and was demolished to make way for new subway tunnels beneath the site. Look for the net hammocks strung along one edge of the deck, a quiet echo of the dome that once stood on this ground.
