Shibuya Crossing is best described as an even more hectic intersection than that at Times Square, and a must-do destination when visiting Tokyo. It’s a place of constant action that puts the intense energy of the city on display. Every space is covered in lights, three giant television screens are fixed to the buildings along the intersection, and a remarkable flurry of people are coming to and fro in every direction. It’s such a staple of Tokyo that it’s often featured in movies that take place in the city, including The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift and the iconic Lost in Translation.
