Shibuya Route

The Shibuya Route (渋谷線, Shibuya-sen), signed as Route 3, is one of the radial routes of the Shuto Expressway system in the Tokyo area. Route 3 runs southwest from Tanimachi Junction (with the Inner Circular Route) in Minato-ku and runs for 12 kilometers through Shibuya-ku, Meguro-ku, and Setagaya-ku. The Shibuya Route ends at the Yoga Rampway (Tokyo Interchange) and the expressway transitions to the intercity Tōmei Expressway managed by the Central Nippon Expressway Company to Nagoya.
