Shibuya Crossing


This is a good place to see the bright lights of Tokyo and has been featured in countless movies, television shows and music videos. It is arguably the most famous spot in Japan. Make sure to check out the little statue of Hachiko located in the square. Hachiko was a dog in the 1920s who came to meet his owner every night at the station, his owner died but Hachiko continued to come each evening to wait for his return for over 10 years.US even made an English version of Hachiko the movie starring Richard Gere. In the evenings, you will see hundreds of people standing around Hachiko waiting for friends. The statue of Hachiko is the busiest meeting spot in all of Japan. To locate your friend you should ask if she/he is on which part of Hachiko(infront, tail, side). After taking some photos of the crossing (much more photogenic at night). Take a walk up Sentagai (the street the crossing leads in to). Shibuya is a good place for shopping, dinner and drinks.
Don’t forget to check the Shibuya109 if you’re into fashion. This mall provides wide variety of clothes for young generation and late young generation. It cover’s from young female and male. A lot of variety to choose from. Funky and colorful is the main dish of this fashion mall. You can find this right in front of Shibuya crossing.
