Center Gai (センター街 Sentā-gai) is a narrow street in Udagawachō (宇田川町), Shibuya, Tokyo, Japan.
It is a popular area for youths as it has a variety of popular brand name stores, fast food outlets and nightclubs.
Center Gai originated as a road built over culverts spanning the Udagawa River.
On June 20, 1997, as a result of strong winds from typhoon No.7 Opal (08W, Kuring) that had descended on the Kantō region, a 4-ton archway at the entrance to Center Gai collapsed, killing one man outright, and injuring several others.
