What does shibajuku mean?

I saw these dolls at the store the other day. They are called shibajuku dolls. It made me wonder what the word shibajuku means. Obviously, it is a Japanese word. I tried looking up this word online to see what it meant and I can't find anything about it. If anyone can help me I would greatly appreciate it. Please translate using English letters, then translate with Japanese characters. Thank you.
