Shibuya Crossing
Shibuya Crossing is located directly outside Shibuya Station's Hachiko exit. Take the major city loop, the JR Yamanote Line, and get off at Shibuya Station. The JR Saikyo and Shonan Shinjuku lines, The Keio Inokashira, Tokyu Den-en-toshi and Tokyu Toyoko lines all stop at Shibuya, as do the Tokyo Metro Ginza, Hanzomon and Fukutoshin subway lines.
Shibuya Crossing is one of Tokyo’s most recognizable sights, pictured in countless films, magazines and blogs. During its busiest times, an estimated 1,000 to 2,500 people forge their way across this intersection every two minutes, enough to quickly fill up a football stadium.
The phenomenon gave rise to its nickname “scramble,” as pedestrians cross from all directions. Shibuya Crossing walks the line between manic chaos and perfect synchronization. Your explorations of Tokyo will eventually bring you here to make your crossing and take advantage of Shibuya’s wealth of shopping, dining and entertainment options.
