[2025 Tokyo ] Travel Guide for Shibuya Scramble Crossing (Updated Jul)

Shibuya Crossing—it’s as chaotic and cool as you’d imagine, with people flowing from every direction. Shibuya Sky — it was such a peaceful vibe compared to the usual Tokyo buzz. The city looked so fresh and calm from above, and the morning light gave everything a soft glow. Not too crowded, so I had time to really take in the 360° view. A perfect way to start the day—watching Tokyo slowly come alive from the top! Tokyo Tower—found a great spot nearby where you can get that postcard-perfect angle of the tower rising above the cityscape. TeamLab Planets —honestly, it felt like walking through a dream—interactive lights, mirrors, and water made it such a magical experience. #tokyospots

Shibuya Crossing is pure chaos—but in the best way possible! The moment the lights turn red, a wave of people floods the intersection from all directions, yet somehow, everything moves smoothly. Standing in the middle of it all, surrounded by neon lights and giant screens, felt like stepping into a movie scene. I couldn’t resist stopping for a quick photo (or ten) before dashing across with the crowd. It’s not just a crosswalk—it’s an experience, a must-see Tokyo moment that screams energy and excitement. Would totally do it again! ⚡️✨⭐️

Tokyo is a place with many attractions to visit! One of the must-visit spots is Tsukiji Market! Located in Chuo Ward, Tokyo, the best time to visit is as early as possible! This is because Tsukiji Market offers fresh seafood every day, and early visitors can enjoy fresh seafood, sashimi, and various delicacies! This time, I arrived at Tsukiji Market at 9:00 AM, where I enjoyed matsuba crab, wagyu skewers, and tuna sashimi. The taste was incredibly delicious! I highly recommend everyone to give it a try! In the afternoon, I went to the rooftop of Shibuya to view the entire city of Tokyo. The view from the top was spectacular, with a clear sight of various buildings of different sizes in Tokyo! In the evening, I visited the famous Shibuya Crossing, which consists of five major crosswalks. When the traffic light turns green, pedestrians walk across the five crosswalks simultaneously! It's a very unique experience!

Japan is a dream country for many anime lovers. This is the first time Lin has visited Japan. The first trip was in Tokyo in February. The weather was cold but very good. Walking a lot is not easy to get tired. Very impressive. Today, Lin has brought beautiful photo spots in Tokyo to share. 1. Ueno Park, walking around the accommodation area, but when taking pictures, they are still beautiful!! 2. Yokohama, near Yokohama Cosmo World amusement park, Lin took the cable car from Sakuragi-Cho to Unga Park. 3. Senso-ji Temple, took beautiful pictures of red lanterns. There are many delicious foods at the entrance to the temple. 4. Tokyo Tower, further away from the entrance to the parking lot. Taking pictures from the bottom angle is awesome!! (There were a lot of people queuing to take pictures, but the view is really good.) 5. Shibuya Crossing, took a picture of walking across the street while looking away. 6. Kawagoe, got a feel of old Japan + lots of delicious foods. 7. Shibuya Sky, unfortunately it was raining on the day I booked, so I couldn't go up to the rooftop. But inside the building, the must-see photo spot is the corner of the building. There were a lot of people queuing. #TravelJapan #trip #JapanTrip #TravelJapanByYourself #TravelJapanByYourself #TravelAsia #BeautifulPhotoSpots #BeautifulPhotoCoordinates #CheckInPoints

This makes Shibuya Scramble Crossing a famous place, attracting many tourists to experience the lively atmosphere of the most pedestrian crossing in the world. 📍How to get there: Get off the train at Shibuya Station and exit at the Hachiko Exit. Then walk out onto the street in front. #TokyoTravel #ShibuyaScrambleCrossing #渋谷スクランブル交差点 #TokyoLandmark #TokyoLandmark #TravelJapan #WinterTravel #Christmas2023

One day of shopping in Shibuya, I feel a bit tired Shibuya is still very easy to visit. It’s only 5 stops away from Shinagawa Station on the JY Yamanote Line. Coming out of Exit A8 is the statue of the loyal dog Hachiko. There will be an old man helping to take photos for free (you need to queue up) I saw a crossroads with a lot of people I ate the Ichiran ramen that I had missed for a long time. Now you can pay with wx or zfb on your mobile phone. It is very convenient. I finally had the matcha almond tofu that I had been missing for a long time. It still tastes the same. After eating, we went straight to Lelabo in Parco. The store is very small. I bought the Tokyo limited edition 10. 100ml is about 69,000, and you can get a tax refund directly. I visited the flagship stores of Pokémon, Nintendo, Capcom, and JUMP. There were many new things and I bought a lot. I will continue to Akihabara tomorrow.

The scene from Alice in Borderland that I've always wanted to see at Shibuya Crossing with my own eyes was truly exciting to me. I can't imagine that this place would become empty just like in the movie. Every single second, there is movement here, and people are moving very fast and crowded. With so many people moving at once, it's easy to miss friends and family, so remember to hold their hands tight. #wheretogo

If you are headed to Tokyo, there are a number of places you shouldn’t miss! The most popular one is the Shibuya crossing, where masses of pedestrians cross the roads all at once while the cars stop for them. This crossing junction has been replicated in different cities as well, like Kuala Lumpur. You can find lots of restaurants and cafes around this area as well. Another well-known monument in this same area is the statue of the loyal dog, who continued waiting for his owner at the corner of this street despite the owner passing away. Enjoy these cultural treats when in Tokyo! My overall rating of the experience: 4 out of 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #tokyo #tripblazers #tripmoments

#AbsolutelyFreeTrip 🚥 [Shibuya Scramble Crossing] Experience the "waves of people" that the world is paying attention to! The "Scramble Crossing" in the center of Shibuya is a world-famous "scenery of people crossing". The sight of hundreds of people crossing from all directions at once is the very energy of Tokyo 🔥 When you actually walk through it, you feel like you've entered a scene from a movie. Whether you're traveling alone, as a couple, or with friends, it's a spot that will become a memory just by taking photos and videos 📸✨ The access is just a short walk from the Hachiko exit of JR Shibuya Station. The key to success is the view from the "2nd floor seats of Starbucks Shibuya TSUTAYA"! It's a great photo spot where you can see the entire intersection 🎥 It's free to enjoy, but the impact is enormous. If you come to Tokyo, try jumping into this "wave of people" first!

#Shibuyasky #ShibuyaskySkyObservationDesktop #TokyoItinerary It was so hard to get the ticket for Shibuya Sky. Although I didn't see the sunset view, I was satisfied with the night view. It is worth going. The scenery is really beautiful😍. Shibuya Crossing is also very lively. I raised my phone to take pictures and videos while walking.

Very important to get Welcome Suica card for mrt and vending machines.

💞Reasons to Recommend:Chiba is a calm and beautiful place, no so crowded but with nice places to visit as is near to Tokyo city

#GetDiscountsWithoutLuck Shibuya Crossing For those who have seen the image of a large zebra crossing at the 5-way intersection surrounded by buildings and buildings amidst the lively lights, colors, and sounds, along with a huge number of people walking across the crosswalk, Got would like to say that this is Shibuya Crossing that we are going to visit. If you ask why we have to check in here at least once, Got would like to say that in addition to being like a landmark of Tokyo, Shibuya Crossing is also famous and often appears on world-class movie screens so much that it has been called another icon of Tokyo and Japan. From the image of people walking past each other on the crosswalk, there is information recorded that during rush hour, Shibuya Crossing has up to 3,000 people crossing the road at a time. Now people flock to post pictures of the atmosphere on social media, making this intersection a popular spot that everyone must visit continuously in almost every era.

#summervacay Arrived in Shibuya, and it was pouring rain as I got off the subway. I waited out the rain for a bit, then headed up to Starbucks and snapped a few shots of the famous Shibuya Scramble Crossing from above. As always, Shibuya was packed with people. Honestly, the shopping experience wasn’t particularly impressive—just wandered around for a bit, checked it off the list, and didn’t end up buying anything. Then, just like that, the sky cleared. Big city moments in Tokyo. #CityVibes #Shibuya #Tokyo #ScrambleCrossing #UrbanLife
