3. Midori Sushi (Mark City) — Not a belt: sit-down sushi
Midori is not conveyor-belt sushi: it is a sit-down counter and table restaurant, included here because it is often searched for alongside kaiten sushi.
Midori Sushi has a cult following for one reason: bigger, better fish at reasonable prices.
The Mark City location is directly connected to Shibuya Station — you cannot get more central.
Must-try
- Official sets — ¥1,980–3,630 (regular nigiri ¥1,980, special ¥2,860, premium ¥3,630)

- Website: Midori Sushi Shibuya

Insider tip
The ticket machine at the entrance starts issuing numbers at 10:00, an hour before opening, and on weekdays you can also get a LINE ticket. Free changes to a TableCheck pre-order end 3 days before. Full details in our Sushi no Midori Shibuya guide.
4. Kura Sushi — Family-friendly with games
Kura Sushi mixes sushi with gamification. Every 5 plates triggers a capsule-toy gacha game on the screen at your table — win, and a small toy drops out.
It sounds gimmicky, but the sushi is actually solid: no artificial additives, fresh ingredients, and a strong dessert lineup.
Must-try
- Bikkura pon plates — seasonal limited editions

5. Maguro Donya Miura Misaki-ko Megumi (Shibuya Hikarie) — Tuna specialist
Maguro Donya Miura Misaki-ko Megumi specializes in premium tuna at conveyor belt prices.
The Hikarie location (6F) is connected directly to the station — no street walking needed. Tabelog reviewers consistently rate the tuna quality above standard chains.

Insider tip
If Midori Sushi is full, this is your premium fallback. Same upgrade-feel, often shorter waits, and great tuna.
6. Tenka Sushi Shibuya Dogenzaka — Old-school belt
Tenka Sushi is the old-school pick. Plates still circle on a real belt, and the chefs behind the counter also take spoken orders, so you can grab what passes or ask for something made fresh. Tabelog reviewers confirm the plates actually move.
It sits in a half-basement two minutes from the Keio Inokashira Line station and is open daily from 11:00 to 21:30. The official shop page lists a tuna trio plate at ¥580, a toro tekka roll at ¥430, chawanmushi at ¥260 and some plates at ¥140. The brand's website links to a price-change notice, so check current plate prices in the shop.
Seats cannot be reserved. Lunch service runs 11:00-13:30, and Tabelog mentions Hokkaido fairs on selected weekends.
Must-try
- Maguro sanshu-mori — tuna trio plate (¥580 on the shop page)
- Toro tekka-maki — rolled in Mitsuboshi nori (¥430 on the shop page)
- Zuke salmon — listed at ¥140 between 14:00 and 18:00, one plate per person
Practical info

- Hours: 11:00-21:30 daily, open every day
- Budget: ¥1,000-1,999 per person (Tabelog)

Insider tip
Prices posted online may be out of date, so check current plate prices in the shop. The ¥140 zuke salmon deal runs only 14:00-18:00 with a one-plate limit, so confirm it at the counter.
