Shibuya Crossing

  Shibuya Crossing, located in the bustling Shibuya district of Tokyo, is one of the busiest pedestrian intersections in the world. Established in 1926, it transforms into a sea of people—up to 3,000 pedestrians crossing at once—during peak hours, creating a striking visual of urban movement. Functioning as a major hub for commuters, the crossing connects Shibuya Station to various neighborhoods and shopping districts, including the iconic Shibuya 109 building. In December, you can see festive illuminations adorning the area, adding a vibrant touch to the daily hustle. Visitors can enjoy the lively atmosphere while exploring shops, cafes, and the nearby Hachiko statue, a famous meeting spot dedicated to the loyal Akita dog.
