Shibuya Scramble Crossing

渋谷スクランブル交差点

Shibuya, Tokyo · 東京

Five crossings fire simultaneously outside Shibuya Station, emptying the pavements into the intersection and refilling them thirty seconds later.

Why it’s worth it

Everyone films it from the Starbucks. The better view is from the Shibuya Sky rooftop at dusk, or from the second-floor window of the station walkway, where you can watch the pattern rather than be inside it.
