Cyberspace Shibuya (6F)
This floor is the main otaku nerd area of the mall and is the one floor that opens the earliest. It opens at 10:00 am instead of 11:00 am like the rest of the mall.

There is a special outdoor stairwell that leads directly to the side of the Nintendo Store along with elevators and escalators within the mall to access the 6th floor. Currently the floor consists of 9 store spots one of which is a pop up store space while the other is a pop up themed cafe space.
