Japan, in addition to being known as the country of the rising sunis also famous for being the place where tradition and modernity coexist in a perfect balance. In addition to being able to visit its temples and sanctuaries, in Japan there are also large cities that do not stop growing.
Shibuya Zebra Crossing
If there is an emblematic place in Shibuya, it is, without a doubt, the pedestrian crossing. And the main reason is because it is the busiest in the world. Nothing more and nothing less than 3,000 people cross every time the traffic light turns green. Crazy, right? In addition to its affluence, the Shibuya intersection also stands out for its atmosphere, very similar to that of Times Square. Large illuminated signs and billboards fill the streets of the neighborhood. So as expected, there is not a single second in which peace reigns in this part of Tokyo.
The Shibuya neighborhood is also known for being the japanese fashion center. The streets become authentic catwalks where new trends are exhibited. Full of shops, department stores and shopping centers, it is the perfect place for shopping lovers.
The statue of Hachiko, the most famous dog in the world
One of the departures of the Shibuya train is named after Hachiko and the reason is because in this neighborhood you can also find the statue of the most faithful Atika dog. Most likely, you already know his story, but if not, for a whole year Hachiko accompanied his owner to the station and waited for him there until he returned from work. However, one day he died and the dog continued waiting for him there.
Today, it has become a very popular spot for tourists, who do not waste the opportunity to take a photo with the statue.
Further afield, this neighborhood of Tokyo also offers numerous corners to discover, such as the impressive viewpoint of Shibuya Sky or that of Shibuya 109, one of the latest additions. From there you can perfectly observe the pedestrian crossing and, if you want, photograph the large influx of people.
