Shibuya


Before my first stay in Japan, when I imagined Tokyo, I had in mind the colourful and crowded Shibuya.  I suppose that most people who have never visited Tokyo do the same.


Shibuya is one of the 23 city wards of Tokyo but it usually refers to the area around the Shibuya Station, famous for its department stores, restaurants and nightclubs. 
Shibuya is considered as a centre of the young fashion and culture - the major famous shopping centre is Shibuya 109, known as the origin of the kogal culture – but also of the IT industry in Japan.



However, the most famous place of Shibuya is probably the scramble crossing in front of Shibuya Station Hachiko exit.  As all the traffic is stopped in all directions, pedestrians are allowed to inundate the entire intersection. 



To see absolutely !
