Shibuya Crossing


You know that scene in some movies where they show a swarm of people crossing the street in some Asian city? That most likely will always be an image of Shibuya Crossing. Located in Shibuya, Tokyo outside of the Hachiko exit of Shibuya station is one of the busiest intersections in the world. This scramble crossing is where all traffic comes to a complete stop and pedestrians from all sides can cross. There can be as many as 3,000 people crossing at once! I have made the trek to Shibuya a number of times and it was always fun to see and take part in. If you really want to just hang out and do some spying on the people crossing the street, there is a Starbucks that directly overlooks the crossing from across the station.
