Shibuya Crossing

Shibuya Crossing is a diagonal pedestrian crossing in front of the Hachikō exit of Shibuya station, in Tokyo. When the light turns green, vehicles stop in every direction and pedestrians can cross in any direction, completely flooding the intersection. It is flanked by three large video screens mounted on nearby buildings, including the iconic QFRONT, as well as numerous static advertising billboards. It is considered the busiest pedestrian crossing in the world, with up to 3,000 people crossing in a single green-light cycle (every 2 minutes). A 2014 survey estimated 260,000 pedestrians a day on weekdays and 390,000 on non-working days, with estimates of up to 500,000 on the busiest days. Opened in 1973, the crossing appears frequently in films, TV series and video games set in Tokyo, and was the setting for the closing ceremony of the 2016 Olympic Games. The statue of Hachikō, between the station and the crossing, is a popular meeting point that is almost always crowded.
