Hachikō Memorial Statue

Take a photograph that you are required to be in the line of.


It is a great spot for meeting people. Hachik, a boi for life, is always a great spot.


Although crowded, it is a great spot for meetingups.


) Lots of people as expected, iconic meeting place. People will line up to take pictures of loyal dogs. Fortunately, the line is not long, only a few people.  (

Very cute and very cool, not much to say. Love the statue of this loyal dog. Only downside is it s hard to take a photo of just the statue because people keep going up to tale photos with him (can t blame them though!)

Hello Hachiko, back to see you after more than 30 years

) A very cool experience, it is always super crowded with people taking photos, so you have to be patient for your turn  (

good sleep boy your longing pain has been fulfilled         

Good place in central Shibuya area next to train station to meet with friends.  Gets pretty busy in the evenings and weekends.

Busy as usual with lots of tourist gathering around it. Great story though

I think that I have to see the movie one day.

Saw this guy in persona 5, and he was such a good boy the constructed him in real life.

) cute and smart dog no language barrier have a good time  (

Saw the movie . Saw the memorial statue in Tokyo . Awesome story of devotion , and loyalty from a K9 , too his master !

I m not sure why I m reviewing a street crossing intersection  but I saw the Yelp page and figured why not   How do you rate a section of a road    I m asking myself  well  I guess on it s ability to do what it s supposed to do   so  5 stars  It allows pedestrians to cross from multiple sides of the roads at once  You move with a huge mass of people  Occasionally you ll notice a person holding their phone to video themselves crossing This is a known for being a busy intersection  It s a tourist spot you re likely to hit if you re around Shibuya  since it s right by Shibuya Station  I feel like crossing this intersection is kind of a fun thing to check off your list of things that you did in life  Note  This is right next to the Hachiko Statue  so I d take a moment just to see that in person if you re already here 

It was an ideal spot to meet up in the middle of a crowded area.


Lucky people often take photos with the Hachiko statue dog.


Hachiko is a fascinating story and I was so excited to see the Hachiko statue in Shibuya.


The novelty of the Shibuya scramble wore off quickly due to the hodgepodge of people  literally scrambling to cross the street  It was not uncommon for tourists to block traffic for a photo stop  or a distracted live streamer bumping into others with their selfie stick  Pre smart phone  the same could be said with people being obnoxious with their video recorders and cameras    While I do support tourists getting a  shot  at a photo in most settings  it is very difficult for others if you are suddenly stopping and causing those walking behind to bump into you  Since most use the scramble as part of their route to and from Shibuya station  respect for commuters should take precedent over gaining cool points online  Mad respect to those that choose to take their selfies at the crosswalk  instead of within the moving crossing It is a sight to behold when viewed from above  with the Starbucks in Tsutaya Bookstore being a popular lookout spot  This is where I got my first crossing selfie and makes for a much nicer photo than being in the trenches I appreciate the functionality of the Shibuya crossing  but wish that it was less hyped about as a photo spot 

World famous intersection where every couple minutes when the lights switch the insane swarms of the crowds fill the crosswalk  Definitely a sight to see and of course if you re in the area chances are pretty high you ll have to make your way across at some point 

The famous crossing in Tokyo  located near the Shibuya station  This is one of the most busiest crossing in the world  You will be crossing among the hundreds of people from one side to the other  Definitely an experience to do when you are in Tokyo  Then afterwards you go shopping on the other side of the street 

No visit to Japan is complete without a visit to Shibuya Crossing  This spot is known as the world s busiest intersection  It can be compared to Times Square but is even more packed as it is more wide open  When traffic is stopped  you will hordes of people coming from all directions  I was here during Christmastime and the decorations and crowds made for a nice festive atmosphere Visitors should make sure to find the Hachiko statue while here too  It is at the Shibuya train station which is right next to this crossing 

Obviously  Shibuya Crossing is a tourist stop that millions of people flock to as an iconic Japanese  landmark   It s one thing to be a part of the scramble by crossing at one of the busy crosswalks  It s another to find a place to see the entire crossing  There is a Starbucks in the square where you can get a pretty good view  although there are some small obstructions that could get in the way if you don t zoom in properly  I do wish there was more of a designated place to that picture perfect view  But then again  I guess that could ruin the magic behind the crosswalk for sure 

Call me crazy  but I wouldn t dream of driving this  scrambling  Shibuya Crossing  Might be the only Debbie downer here  but I  and a million other people have seen this popular wonder of Japan all over the news  books  magazines etc   but it seemed that it was overly hyped  If I return to Shibuya  I will cross it again to get to the other side like the chicken did when it crossed the road  Aside from all these photographers and people recording for television  I finally ended up meeting my pen pal at the Hachiko Statue  Which the statue left a soft place in my heart  To cross the SSC  you must wait 10 whole minutes for the cars to pass and also it gets crowded fast  better hurry   It takes literally only one minute to cross this street  and you re looking at all the shopping and business meetings taking place  I very much enjoy Shibuya  but I didn t expect a whole lot from this crossing  

One word  busy More words  very  very busy  There are many  many individuals here  That was my husband s review of Shibuya Crossing  and he s pretty spot on  Reasons to go  but also  how could you possibly miss it    watch the scramble  Busiest crosswalk in the world    right by the Hachiko dog statute  after crossing  dip into the underground JR station mall for some snacks  We found some delicious vegan chestnut sweetsWe went the day after the typhoon  and Shibuya Crossing was still packed  despite everything being much more subdued than normal 

I LOVE big cities  the hustle and bustle  so of course we had to check out Shibuya in Tokyo  Our hotel was near Shibuya Crossing so we were able to get lost in the crowd quite a few times during our stay  and wander around late at night to visit all the cool little food shops on so many nondescript side streets  Some shops fit only five people at a time  and were sunken below the street  The vibe is so energetic and lively and fun  During the day we started at Shibuya Crossing  walked north through the city to Yoyogi Park and Meiji Jingu and north along the park  then went south and east through Gingko Avenue  and back south and west through Harajuku and back to Shibuya Crossing where we started If you have an entire day and night in this area and love to walk I highly recommend that trek  Great experience in Tokyo  and really cool residential streets to wander through along with a gorgeous park and also some of the busiest pedestrian streets in Tokyo and the world 

As art begins to imitate life  I d be remiss if I didn t review the famous Shibuya scramble during a time when we re seeing proof of the real Umbrella Corporation wreaking havoc on the planet  This world renowned multi lane pedestrian street crossing is order and chaos all at once and always busy as far as I know  It s featured in two of my favorite films   Resident Evil  Afterlife and Lost in Translation  also Fast   Furious  Tokoyo Drift which I won t admit to seeing but it is a really cool attraction on the Universal Studios back lot tour  We ended up here many times during our stay  usually at night  always after a couple of drinks  It was intimidating at first but became fun trying to keep up as we further assimilated to the fast paced efficient movement of throngs of people in this amazing city  My photos suck because you have to keep moving and the perspective is not representative of the masses present  It s literally the only time I ve ever thought the tourists with selfie sticks over their heads had a brilliant idea because it s a beautiful spectacle from overhead                     Bitsy
