Shibuya Crossing
One of the busiest pedestrian crossings in the world, Shibuya Crossing is a must-see Tokyo landmark. When the traffic lights turn red in all directions, hundreds of people cross the street at once — a true symbol of Tokyo’s energy and rhythm. Visitors often stop by to take photos or view the crossing from above at nearby cafes or shopping centers. It’s chaotic, fascinating, and uniquely Japanese.
