Shibuya Crossing is a world-famous pedestrian scramble located in front of Shibuya Station in Tokyo, Japan.
• Nickname: Often called “The Scramble” because all the traffic lights at the intersection turn red at once, allowing pedestrians from every direction to cross simultaneously.
• Crowd Size: During peak times, an estimated 2,000–3,000 people can cross at once, and over a million people cross it daily.
• Vibe: It’s a mix of neon billboards, giant video screens, and a constant rush of people — a true symbol of Tokyo’s fast-paced energy.
• Famous Sight: Often featured in films, music videos, and advertisements (e.g., Lost in Translation, Fast & Furious: Tokyo Drift).
• Nearby Landmark: The Hachikō Statue, a meeting spot right outside Shibuya Station, is only steps away.
