Shibuya
Famous Tokyo crossing
Shibuya is a major commercial and entertainment district in Tokyo, Japan, famous for its scramble crossing where pedestrians flood the intersection from all directions when the light changes.
The name often evokes images of neon lights, youth culture, and urban density: We spent the night bar-hopping in Shibuya.
The district serves as shorthand for Tokyo's frenetic energy and fashion-forward street style.
