Landmark Tourist Spot Must See
Take part in one of the most iconic scenes in Tokyo by joining the crowds through Shibuya Pedestrian Scramble, an enormous bustling intersection outside Shibuya station. Flanked by illuminated skyscrapers on each corner, the intersection buzzes with organized chaos as pedestrians cross in every direction at once. Watch the hypnotic movement of the crowds from afar--ideally from the windows of one of the surrounding buildings--before diving into the packed but orderly masses yourself. Make Shibuya Pedestrian Scramble part of your personalized Tokyo itinerary using our Tokyo trip generator.

    Even if the intersection of Shibuya is part of visits required to do in Tokyo, we stayed a little on our hunger. We thought bigger and more impressive (we had Time Square NYC in the head). Nevertheless, it is a must to do without hesitation and the area is very young and very dynamic.

    Shibuya is enormous fun if you like shopping. Cricket fast food chain and clothing brands. The crossroads is best viewed from the second floor of the Starbucks! in the evening more fun to visit than during the day. In the weekend even more fun because of all the Japanese in starting clothing.

Where to stay in Tokyo

©
Tokyo abounds with excellent places to stay, from luxury affairs to humble budget-friendly lodgings. Its glittering skyscrapers house numerous international four- and five-star hotels, both in the populous cultural hotspots of Shinjuku and in the business centers of Akasaka and Shinbashi. Meanwhile, hostels catering to the shoestring traveler lie scattered throughout the city. For a memorable, distinctly Japanese experience, seek out a ryokan, a traditional bed and breakfast with tatami floor mats and sliding screen doors.
