Shibuya

Tokyo

The Shibuya district is known for being one of the new fashion and trend launchers around the world. More specifically, Hachiko Crossroads (from the famous dog which faithfully waited for the return of its handler in front of the Shibuya station for 10 years) is unquestionably the most famous crossroads of Tokyo. With its horde of pedestrians who cross when the light turns green, and its numerous big screens all around it, it can really surprise whoever was not aware.
