Here are a couple of photos of Shibuya Crossing, one of the most famous crossings in the world. Having lived in Japan for almost two years in 1990, I visited one of my favourite places here again in 2014 and in 2019.
Photos of Shibuya Crossing
Much has changed over the last two decades, but the main attraction here is the Shibuya Junction, one of the most photographed places in Japan.
Every day during peak hours, thousands of people will crisscross this intersection from all angles, and it is a sight to behold.

Coming back to Shibuya brought back loads of memories of when I used to go here on weekends to hang out at the local cafes and check out the latest Japanese fashion.
Now, Shibuya is known as one of the top shopping areas in Japan, and you can find all kinds of everything here.
The main roads are dotted with shopping malls, department stores, and speciality shops, while the best part about Shibuya is exploring the inner roads to find smaller niche shops of all kinds.
With budget airline AirAsia X flying to Narita 4 times weekly, it is now easier for many to visit Tokyo. In May 2015, AirAsia X plans to fly daily here, but now there are daily flights to Haneda airport via AirAsia X.
While writing this article, I yearned to revisit Japan, mainly because of its culture and food. Even after staying here, I found the Japanese very intriguing.
Conclusion
If you think it is expensive to visit Japan, let me assure you it is not. It is almost the same as going to Korea or even Shanghai.
I hope you like my photos of Shibuya Crossing. If you have something to share about Shibuya, please feel free to comment.
