Shibuya Crossing - one of the world's most famous and busiest pedestrian crossings
Shibuya Crossing is located just outside Shibuya Station in Tokyo and is one of the most famous and busiest pedestrian crossings in the world. Shibuya Station is one of the busiest and most well-known railway stations in Tokyo. It is located in the Shibuya district, an area known for its youth culture, fashion, technology and vibrant nightlife. At the station's Hachiko Exit stands a small statue of the faithful dog Hachiko, who waited for his owner at the station every day, even after his owner passed away. It is a symbol of loyalty and a popular meeting place. "Scramble crossing" - all pedestrians from all directions get the green light at the same time and can cross in any direction, even diagonally. During each green light period (about 30–60 seconds), 1,000–2,500 people often cross at the same time, especially during rush hour.
