4.5 (23,483)Thousands flood this Tokyo scramble from every direction at once, flowing in sync beneath towering illuminated screens.
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.
