Not many people go to Shibuya to commune with nature, but starting in spring, gardening and farming might see a boom in one of Tokyo's most populous wards.
Shibuya recently announced it will start vegetable gardens on three of the ward's properties next April.
The three properties include an empty 818-sq.-meter plot that belongs to a nursing-care facility near JR Shibuya Station, a 1,030-sq.-meter plot that was once the site of an elementary school gym near Yebisu Garden Place, and an empty 480-sq.-meter lot in Yoyogi near Sangubashi Station on the Odakyu Line.
