"The Shibuya intersection is the busiest intersection in the world. Crossed by thousands of people every day, it has now become a symbol of the Japanese capital! To see the show from above I recommend you go to the Starbucks and try to go there to a time that allows you to take a seat near the window..
👣How to get there: reachable on foot from Hachiko Memorial (100m,2min). Metro stop: Shibuya, Ginza and Hanzomon line.

"Cross the Shibuya Crossing, the busiest pedestrian crossing in the world with as many as 2,500 pedestrians crossing every time the signal changes. The crossing has many screens playing videos and advertisements so its really fun to look around while walking. Be sure to stop by and say hi to the statue of Hachiko, an Akita dog remembered for his remarkable loyalty to his owner. It is also a very popular meeting spot for locals."

"I didn't expect anything special as I know is just a crossing, but a friend who had high expectations felt was overrated.
It all depends on your mindset going there!
For me it felt magical because I knew where I was crossing, looking at those tall buildings and having seen many videos of it.
Also in my opinion going in the evening is much better than during daylight. "
