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.

Its okay. Its busy as expected. The crossing itself is cool to do. Do it both in the day and night for a different feel. Lots of shopping and busy food restaurants around. Easy to get to. You can get a better view from many of the nearby stores such as Starbucks. We found a gacha store on level 5 nearby which had a nice view and wasn't crowded.

Shibuya Scramble Crossing – Tokyo’s Most Iconic Crosswalk Shibuya Scramble Crossing is a must-visit spot in Tokyo. Watching hundreds of people cross from all directions feels like organized chaos—perfect for photos and people-watching. Day and night offer completely different vibes: daytime is lively and clear, while nighttime glows with neon lights and city energy. There are also several hidden spots in nearby buildings where you can get great overhead shots—perfect if you’re into photography or just want that iconic Tokyo view.

Great place to visit, it really is just a big crosswalk, but still fascinating to experience as it is an organized chaos when the cross walk is opened for walking as people try to get a video or do something crazy. I’d recommend having a friend look up the livestream like we did and take photos of you it was a blast. Highly recommend it to everyone in the area to visit, but please be mindful to clear out the way as it still is a main road, please don’t cause traffic as I did see tourists pushing the boundaries a bit.

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.
