Shibuya Ward's official distribution platform "Virtual Shibuya", which was born in the spring of last year, will hold "# Shibuya Ghost in the Shell NIGHT by au 5G" as an opening event in May, "Virtual Shibuya au 5G Halloween Festival" in October, and in December "Virtual Shibuya au 5G X'mas", and at the end of the year, "New Year's gift from #virtual Shibuya" will be held. A total of more than 500,000 people have participated so far as a new entertainment experience in the corona wreck by utilizing the virtual space.
Even now, "YOU MAKE SHIBUYA VIRTUAL MUSIC LIVE powered by au 5G" featuring 100 groups of artists is being held at the virtual live house "SHIBUYA UNDER SCRAMBLE" newly born in "Virtual Shibuya".
In addition, from April 29th (Thursday / holiday), as special campaigns, “# Virtual New Life Support Stamp Rally” and “# GW Shibuhar Debut Declaration” will be held.
Due to the spread of the new coronavirus infection, it is predicted that it will be difficult to visit and enjoy the real Shibuya like before the corona, such as "Golden Week at home" being required again this year. Japan's first local government-approved “Virtual Shibuya” will continue to promote new initiatives as a frontrunner in virtual cities, aiming to improve the experience value in daily life and in the city.

Ken Hasebe Comment from Mayor of Shibuya
Congratulations on the first anniversary of "Virtual Shibuya", which opened last year. We would like to thank everyone for their experiences. This year's Golden Week, following last year's, has become a situation where it is difficult to say that we want you to come to Shibuya on a large scale. Instead, an event will be held in Virtual Shibuya where you can enjoy it to your heart's content. This time, a new area will be open to the public, allowing you to experience Shibuya even more realistically. Due to concerns about the spread of the new coronavirus infection, we are still refraining from going out and holding events that are unnecessary and urgent, so Shibuya will continue to support this initiative to challenge new tourism models and town planning. I'm here. Please enjoy virtual Shibuya from home during this year's Golden Week.
Comment from Chinatsu Wakatsuki
I'm Chinatsu Wakatsuki, an official supporter of Virtual Shibuya! Virtual Shibuya is finally one year old! And I am very excited about the opening of the Virtual Shibuya Spring Festival "Shibuharu Matsuri". At this “Shibuhar Festival”, we will welcome gorgeous guests and deliver a special event to support the beginning of “New Stage” for everyone. As an MC, I am also looking forward to talking with people from various genres, such as Mayor Hasebe, comedians, and Vtubers, even in a virtual avatar. This year's Golden Week will be virtual with no restrictions! Please come and visit us!
