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

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.

My husband and I had a wonderful time walking around and exploring Shibuya. It is safe, even if you go to the back streets (which we recommend) because you get to find cute shops that you wouldn't have found any other way. It does get crowded, so be prepared. Other than that, it was amazing! Personally, it is a must if you go to Japan! ❤️

The worlds busiest road intersection. I could stand here all day and still find it fascinating and watch the the thousands of people cross the road at any given time. It’s a surreal place and it’s an amazing place just to sit back and see the world pass by.

I think this is one of the most busiest streets in the world. Many people come here to experience the crowd and the movements ! Some visitors go to the coffee shops on the second floor, which is facing the street to take a good view and to take photos. It's good to feel the atmosphere in the crowd !

Great atmosphere but it wasn’t as big as it’s been made to look. Definitely a fun experience when crossing with everyone holding out their phones and recording my husband photo bombed a few people’s videos just waving in it. Japan is an awesome place and Shibuya is a vibe.
