Tokyo's busiest scramble crossing, where up to a few thousand people cross on each light change. It is the city at its most kinetic.

A small bronze statue of the famously loyal dog Hachiko, who waited at Shibuya Station for his owner every day for nearly a decade.

An open-air rooftop observation deck on the 47th floor of the Shibuya Scramble Square tower, 229 metres above the crossing.

A Shinto shrine set in a dense evergreen forest right next to Harajuku, dedicated to Emperor Meiji and Empress Shoken.

One of Tokyo's largest parks, a broad green space next to Meiji Shrine that fills with picnickers, dancers and musicians on weekends.
