Shibuya Crossing

4.5 (200)Tourist AttractionPoint Of InterestEstablishment

Shibuya Crossing in Tokyo is one of the busiest pedestrian crossings in the world. Every few minutes, the traffic lights turn red in all directions, and hundreds, sometimes thousands, of people move across the intersection from all sides. It's a sight that captures the pulse of the city.

Located just outside Shibuya Station, this intersection is surrounded by bright billboards and giant TV screens. The area is a popular spot for shopping, dining, and nightlife. Shibuya Crossing is often called the "scramble" because people cross in every direction, creating a human wave that looks chaotic but somehow works smoothly.

The crossing has become a symbol of Tokyo's fast-paced, crowded life. It’s featured in many movies and TV shows, showing how the city’s energy can be seen in one place. The lights and the crowd make Shibuya Crossing a vibrant and lively spot, whether during the day or at night.

Standing in the middle of the crossing is an experience in itself. You feel the rush and energy of Tokyo around you. It's a must-see for anyone visiting the city, offering a glimpse into the daily hustle of Tokyo's people.

What other travelers are saying about Shibuya Crossing

This place is amazing, the amount of people crossing each time they say is about 2,500. And I believe it to be true. The amount of arcade and entertainment facilities you need to see to believe and everyone uses them. We went to an underground wine/food bar and the food was exquisitely tasty and the wine was perfect for our food. It’s truly worth getting there. We are so happy we did.

Wow a must do. The number of people here on a Friday night was amazing and it never stopped. Lots of interesting shops and alleyways. All the advertising on buildings. Buskers and so much more. Loved every moment

An unforgettable Tokyo experience! The mix of flashing lights, stylish cars, and crowds moving in perfect chaos is pure magic. There’s a nostalgic vibe, and anime fans will love the familiar scenes. A must-see spot that captures the energy of the city.

Must visit tourist attraction in Tokyo… famous cross walk which features in most films if they have shooting in Japan… mesmerizing sight of people crossing… it is at the exit of Shibuya station… it is also near the famous Hachiko dog statue… must visit in Tokyo. Recommend to take short stroll in the alleys / main road leading towards Yoyogi stadium you will have great sight of busy life of Tokyo

Packed with people, especially on the weekend. Head to Starbucks for some great views and photo angles! Take a walk back and forth to really experience the energy of the busy pedestrian lines.
