On March 15, 2013, the Shibuya Station above-ground train platforms closed down to serve the new underground platforms at the same station to serve the through service from the Tokyo Metro Fukutoshin Line through services.

As a result, the line between Daikan-yama and Shibuya Stations had to be replaced with a new section of underground track.

On the morning of 16 March 2013, Tokyu Corporation started construction on converting the upwards slope at Daikan-yama station downwards.

A total of 1,200 engineers worked 3 hours and 25 minutes throughout the night to lower the slope downwards.

The area is also famous for its stylish neighborhoods with many sidewalk cafes, patisseries, restaurants, and from high fashion boutiques to vintage clothing shops.
