“Own” a Building in Shibuya: The Branding Power of ZeroBase Pop-Up Spaces

In Tokyo’s most influential commercial districts, there are very few physical spaces where a brand can truly dominate the streetscape. ZeroBase is one of them. Located in the heart of Shibuya and Omotesando, the ZeroBase pop-up venues offer a rare opportunity: transforming an entire standalone building into a fully branded, high-impact urban landmark.

ZeroBase Shibuya: When a Campaign Becomes a City Landmark

Positioned just steps from the iconic Shibuya Crossing and Shibuya 109, ZeroBase Shibuya sits within one of the highest foot-traffic zones in the world.

What sets the venue apart is its four-story standalone structure with a façade that can be fully wrapped in brand visuals. When activated at scale, the effect goes beyond outdoor advertising — it feels as if the brand has “taken over” a building in central Shibuya.

From a distance, the structure functions as a giant billboard.
Up close, it becomes an immersive brand environment.
On social media, it turns into a shareable urban backdrop.

Some campaigns even reference the idea of a “Shibuya takeover” in their creative storytelling — visually expressing impact, scale, and cultural presence at the very center of Tokyo youth culture.

Strong Identity Even Without Full Takeover

While full-building wraps deliver maximum impact, ZeroBase Shibuya remains highly visible even with partial branding. Its standalone multi-story structure and rooftop digital screen enable strong street presence, ensuring clear brand recognition within Shibuya’s high-traffic environment.

ZeroBase Omotesando: Refined Presence in Tokyo’s Luxury Avenue

Beyond Shibuya, ZeroBase also operates in Omotesando — Tokyo’s premier fashion and luxury boulevard. ZeroBase Omotesando offers the same architectural branding potential within a markedly different audience environment. Together, the two locations enable brands to align spatial context with target demographics:

Shibuya — youth, pop culture, entertainment, mass visibility

Omotesando — fashion, beauty, premium, design-led audiences
