Description
Stopping vehicular traffic in all directions, this Shibuya Station landmark shifts markedly between day and night. Daylight highlights the sheer global scale of the crowd, but on a rainy night, neon signs like Shibuya 109 reflect across wet asphalt beneath a sea of umbrellas.
The surrounding nightlife accelerates quickly after dark, leaving nearby restaurants packed. For anyone anxious about dense crowds, an early morning visit offers a far calmer vantage point on one of the world's busiest intersections.
