What to expect

  1. Shibuya Crossing

    The Shibuya Scramble Crossing is one of the busiest and most iconic intersections in the world. Located just outside Shibuya Station, the crossing allows pedestrians from all directions to walk at once when the traffic lights turn red — resulting in a mesmerizing moment of organized chaos. On average, over 1,000 people cross during a single green light cycle, and up to 300,000 cross daily. The surrounding buildings are lit with neon screens, advertisements, and music — creating a vibrant, cinematic atmosphere. The crossing has appeared in numerous movies, including Lost in Translation and Fast & Furious: Tokyo Drift, making it a must-see location. Visitors love to film their own walk across or snap a shot from above (ask your guide for the best angle!).
