One of Tokyo’s most famous locations, Shibuya Crossing, a scramble crossing, is located just in front of Shibuya Station and a few steps away from the Statue of Hachiko*.
This part of Shibuya has been made famous not only by its atypical crossing but also by its giant TV screens, advertising signs and youth fashion stores. Compared by many to New York’s Times Square, Shibuya Crossing has been seen in many foreign movies around the world and quickly became a number one tourist curiosity in Japan.
Shibuya Crossing is a world famous and iconic intersection in Shibuya, Tokyo. The scramble is famous for being the busiest crossing..
*Hachiko was an Akita dog that died in 1935. He is celebrated and remembered for his loyalty to his owner even after the owner died. For an additional 10 years, Hachiko continued his ritual of walking to Shibuya Station and waiting for his beloved owner to return.
