    This is the true symbol of Shibuya.

  • It's just super crowded. I don't really get what's so special about this intersection.

    You can get some awesome shots of the intersection from the Keio Inokashira Line side of Shibuya Station! Too bad I didn't have time to take photos at night…

    The Shibuya Scramble is always bustling, but everyone seems to be in such a hurry.
    Do Japanese people love working so much that they forget to enjoy life?
