What other travelers are saying about Shibuya Crossing
I think this is one of the most busiest streets in the world. Many people come here to experience the crowd and the movements ! Some visitors go to the coffee shops on the second floor, which is facing the street to take a good view and to take photos.
It's good to feel the atmosphere in the crowd !
Shibuya Crossing has been on my bucket list for sometime now. It’s truly amazing to see so many people crossing from all directions at once.
Pro tip - you can go up to the Starbucks across the street, order a coffee and sit down to watch the hustle bustle below you from a high vantage point.
Fun experience. Going along with the crowd to walk the crossroad. There is always something interesting happening. Best to experience this to me is during the night time. With the lights around from towering skyscrapers and billboards, it's very different from during the day. Walking across this intersection is a must to experience when coming to Shibuya.
City never sleep. I came at night and the day. Saw a lot of people there from various countries. Love to see the crowd. The tips, come to Starbucks and take video. No need to buy drink. Just take the picture and video near the window.
It's a scramble, for sure. I stopped by Saturday evening to see what it was like during a peak hour. Lots of people and excitement when the crosswalks are open for pedestrian traffic.
On a later date, when I visited Shibuya, the number of people and energy levels on a weekday during a non-peak hour were lower. However, it's still a fun experience to be a part of the large crowd waiting to cross through others.
