Viewpoint

What makes this place special?

At a Glance

Shibuya Crossing is Tokyo’s diagonal pedestrian intersection framed by giant screens and busy shopping streets. Outside Shibuya Station’s Hachiko exit, it offers a street-level glimpse of the district’s everyday movement. The crossing itself is a public road; elevated viewpoints and nearby businesses are separate venues.

The Hachiko statue beside the station is a useful meeting landmark.
