Shibuya Chaotic Scramble Tokyo

Shibuya Chaotic Scramble Tokyo takes place at the famous intersection outside Shibuya Station. the traffic is stopped in all directions, which allows pedestrians to walk & scramble in every direction across the intersection.

The name “Shibuya” is also used to refer to the shopping district which surrounds Shibuya Station, one of Tokyo’s busiest railway stations. This area is known as one of the fashion centers of Japan, particularly for young people, and as a major nightlife area.

The masses collide 🙂

Shibuya Crossing is one of the busiest pedestrian crossings in the world. Shibuya Station is the third busiest station in Tokyo. The busiest in Tokyo and the world of course is Shinjuku.

Beautiful girls

You will see all different kinds of people and outfits in Shibuya, that’s why it’s one of my favourite places in Tokyo.

Something to see around every corner.

Tokyo fashion

Of course close to Shibuya on a Sunday morning you can also see the fabulous Harajuku girls.

Fabulous at night

They say the neon lights are bright on Broadway, but for me Tokyo is the neon capital of the world. The Ginza, Kabukicho and Shibuya are just three of the districts that will blow your mind.

Here is a popular shopping mall where the trendy Tokyo teenagers shop in more than 100 boutiques.

The crowd seems to increase when the sun goes down and all the workers head for the shops, restaurants and bars.

The specialty here is sweet, fluffy cheese tarts, with a gooey core that oozes out when you cut it open.

Shibuya hamburger

The food is one of the main attractions for me.

The Cellar Grill

One of my favourite restaurants is only a 15 minute walk from Shibuya station. Good food and a great atmosphere.
