Shibuya Crossing, Tokyo, JAPAN
The most popular spot in TOKYO.

Shibuya Scramble Crossing (渋谷スクランブル交差点, Shibuya sukuranburu kōsaten), commonly known as Shibuya Crossing, is a popular pedestrian scramble crossing in Shibuya, Tokyo, Japan.[1] It is located in front of the Shibuya Station Hachikō exit and stops vehicles in all directions to allow pedestrians to inundate the entire intersection. The statue of Hachikō, between the station and the intersection, is a common meeting place, which is almost always crowded.

Three large video screens mounted on nearby buildings overlook the crossing, as well as many static advertising signs. The Starbucks store overlooking the crossing is one of the busiest in the world. Given its heavy traffic and amount of advertising, it is compared to Times Square in New York City and Piccadilly Circus in London.

Shibuya Crossing is the world’s busiest pedestrian crossing, with as many as 3,000 people crossing at a time. Tokyo-based architecture professor Shane Flynn has said Shibuya Crossing is \\\"a great example of what Tokyo does best when it\\\'s not trying.
