In the Shibuya district of Tokyo you will find one of the most fascinating crossings and the largest in terms of crowds crossing in the world. As if everything else in Tokyo wasn't fascinating enough. Everywhere it flashes and shines, the Japanese are equally crazy about the crazy and then try again not to stand out in the crowd. But when you think of Tokyo, everyone thinks of this big intersection that millions of people cross every day.
Located right in front of JR Shibuya Station in the Shibuya district, it is famous for its throngs of people crossing the intersection at every traffic light. In the evening hours, up to 15,000 people cross this intersection, creating a unique image. The view from above is particularly beautiful.
On the 8th floor of the Magnet department store, a few steps lead to the viewing platform. Entry to the platform costs 300 yen.
This is where you get the best view of Shibuya Crossing from above.
The best time to take photos is in the afternoon, as unwanted reflections occur in the morning due to the backlight.
The window seats in Starbucks are also very popular, but the queue for these seats is extremely long.
