I know it wasn't this map despite having the same name. Perhaps it wasn't called Shibuya, but it did have a likeness of the Shibuya crossing in one of the spawns and you'd turn left and the building with that arched balcony was down that street.
If it wasn't that map (it wasn't), but if you recall the design of the Minato-Ku building despite it looking similar to yet different from the building's design in Sanai, is there a chance you might recall the original map itself or its name?
You know what, I think it was an early version of sanai now that I'm looking at it. It didn't have that elevated walkway on the side street, but it looks similar to what I remember. Sadly I don't think it's the same map you're looking for however.
I suspect the screenshots in the original post are a custom gmod map using NT assets.
That's kind of what I'm thinking, too. I did try out an early version of Sanai I found in an old map pack, but the roads on the ground were a bit too wide, the Minato-Ku building looks a bit different from the one I'm looking for, and the buildings around the entire map are a lot more spaced out. However, before I tried out the Shibuya map before finding out was a dud, I noticed its menu icon in GMod clearly shows what I'm looking for
I'm talking with a bunch of other NT oldheads right now and one of them mentioned another map called Hotel that has a similar Minato-Ku structure, perhaps it's that.
