Known as the town for young people, Tokyo's Shibuya district is the capital's center of youth fashion and culture. It also attracts crowds of tourists from home and abroad.
Shibuya is best known for its "scramble crossing" near the north exit of JR Shibuya Station, where as many as 3,000 pedestrians coming from mainly four different directions calmly dodge each other in the large intersection when the crossing lights turn green. Around 500,000 people cross the intersection every day.
Nearby stands the statue of Hachiko, the faithful dog praised for its loyalty to its master. The plaza around the statue is a popular meeting point and photo spot for tourists.
