If you're a fan of Lost in Translation, this neighborhood is a must. There are tons of shops and restaurants and people and traffic and craziness. There isn't a lot to "do" other than walk around taking it all in, but if you're in Tokyo, it's worth a couple of hours to wander. More

Apart from the amazing crowd crossing the world's busiest junction, this is also a most interesting place to see what the hip japanese youth are dressing in. Hang around late on a friday/saturday night, you get to see the most interesting people. Love this country. More

when you leave the Hachiko exit and enter the chaos that is Shibuya crossing this is the Tokyo full of people that the guide books talk about. A must is going across the crossing to star bucks waiting for a table and sitting there watching the never ending stream of people leaving the train station and crossing the road. we... More

I love this place at night time. You will see the amazing neon screens. There are a lot of different opportunity's to eat. The area... More

The famous crossing is just outside the metro station (which is on the main metro line), so (no matter how short your trip to Tokyo) stop to check it out. The view from Starbucks (entered via the record store below it) is fantastic - you're not meant to take pictures there, but the staff don't police that very well! If... More

This area is very popular esp that it was often featured in latest movies these days like Tokyo Drift (Fast & the Furious 3) -- the famous intersection/pedestrian crossing; and Hachiko's Statue is also found just beside the train station (Hachiko Exit). I love this place in Tokyo because it's lively esp during night time (which i've thought can never... More

Dont miss the 6way intersection, its a fun thig to come here are watch the trendy youngsters, get a good vantage point by going to the Starbucks across the street and watch the action! But before you do that, dont forget to stop by and say hello to Hachiko- The dog before you cross the roads. More
