What other travelers are saying about Shibuya Crossing
The Shibuya Scramble Crossing is undeniably iconic, but I was a bit disappointed during my visit. I expected a much larger, bustling crowd, given its legendary reputation, but the number of pedestrians was surprisingly low. While the area around the crossing remains vibrant and full of life, the crossing itself didn’t quite live up to the hype this time.
Most exciting place in Tokyo (in my opinion).
Every famous city has its own distinct place and for Tokyo this is the one.
It’s incredible how many people walk this crossing every minute, even at night is crowded.
The surroundings are also amazing, full of light, colours and life.
The area has also a lot of restaurants and shop like Don Quijote.
I enjoyed a lot the ten times or more that I crossed it and the area itself.
Everybody talks about the ‘crazy crossing’ - the busiest pedestrian crossing in ‘who knows where’. I guess you ‘have to see it’ but it’s really not unforgettable, (tho you’ll undoubtably have a few pictures to remind yourself or show some friends.
Shibuya Crossing in Tokyo is a mesmerizing symbol of urban life and energy. Known as the busiest pedestrian intersection in the world, it perfectly captures the city’s vibrant atmosphere. When the lights change, hundreds of people from all directions surge across the street in a synchronized yet chaotic dance. Surrounding the crossing are towering LED screens, bustling shops, and trendy cafes, creating an electric vibe both day and night. It’s not just a crossing—it’s an experience, offering incredible photo opportunities and a glimpse into Tokyo’s fast-paced lifestyle. A must-see for any visitor to the city!
One of the most interesting and coolest places I’ve been to. As famous as it it’s, and crowded and touristy. It is quite a sight to see and I recommend seeing it at least once in your life. With its towering buildings, jarring neon lights and advertisements it is really worth it
