- Jason H.June 12, 2016Worth going just to see it once. Throngs crossing the street at once, meeting in the center. Looks like a battle scene from Braveheart - but peaceful. Take your mandatory photo.Upvoted Jan 16
- Li Her VongApril 18, 2015It's amazing when you're standing right in the middle of the crossing, having hundreds of people brisk walk through you as if you had a time machine and you clicked fast forward. :) Read moreUpvoted 1 week ago

- 𝙻𝚒𝚕𝚒á𝚗𝚊 ✨November 7, 2019Shibuya crossing is worth a visit, it is always super busy, make sure to visit Hachiko dog statue. From Starbucks you can see the crossing from above for free. Great place for Halloween 🎃

- Dan Mondragón SomeraMay 27, 2018Well, a must do right? Go outside the subway, pass Hachiko statue and enjoy it. You can go up the Starbucks to see it from a different angle :)
- Lisa StarbucksMarch 26, 2017There is a big window at the station where you can look down onto the crossing. Perfect spot to film the people crossing including the crazy ads. Stroll through the streets afterwards, has good vibes.

- Mike BroscheJanuary 6, 2018Sunday night was quiet but still big crowds crossing so I assume other nights must be incredible 😱
