Why go
Watch a complete traffic-light cycle from the pavement, then cross with the crowd to experience the junction’s changing rhythm. Its interest comes from ordinary urban movement rather than a scheduled performance. The surrounding district gives the stop substance: continue into nearby shopping streets rather than making a special journey solely for one photograph.
What to look for
- Simultaneous pedestrian crossings
- Large screens and illuminated façades
- The station-side meeting area around Hachiko
Useful to know
- Cross only when the pedestrian signal permits.
- Take photographs from a safe pavement position without blocking the flow.
- Choose your station exit carefully: Shibuya’s station complex is extensive.
