This is a scramble intersection in front of Shibuya Station. Said to be the world’s busiest crosswalk, it has become a famous sight to see in Tokyo. From the pedestrian bridge connecting the JR Yamanote Line and the Keio Inokashira Line, you can view the flurry of people crossing the intersection from above.

When the light turns green, the intersection overflows with pedestrians. At busy times, over 3000 people can cross at once. What’s amazing about this spectacle is that no one bumps into each other!

    從京王井之頭線的澀谷站能拍到很棒的照片喔~ 可惜沒時間晚上去拍…

    繁華的澀谷十字路,不過來來往往的人都很匆忙在趕路。
    日本人是不是都很喜歡工作忘了享受人生?

    疫情過去東京好熱鬧!想看人多就來澀谷十字路口就對了!! 🤭
