Introduction
Shibuya Crossing is widely called the busiest pedestrian crossing on Earth: when the light turns green, crowds from five directions surge in at once, a flowing ocean that captures Tokyo's urban energy. Beside JR Shibuya Station, ringed by giant screens, department stores and neon—most dramatic at night—the nearby Hachiko dog statue is the classic meeting landmark. Photographing the surge from a second-floor café or the overhead bridge is on many visitors' lists. Both a transit hub and the best window onto Japan's city rhythm and youth culture.
