Shibuya Crossing

The rise and fall of Japan, Shibuya Crossing

Shibuya Scramble Crossing (渋穀スクランブル交差點, Shibuya sukuranburu kōsaten) or commonly known as Shibuya Crossing is a popular scramble crossing in Shibuya, Tokyo, Japan.[1] It is located in front of the Shibuya Station Hachikō exit and stops vehicles in all directions to allow pedestrians to inundate the entire intersection. The statue of Hachikō, between the station and the intersection, is a common meeting place and almost always crowded.

Since the late 2010s it has become a popular place for young people to gather at Halloween, some in cosplay costumes. Increasingly large and chaotic crowds led in 2019 to Shibuya Ward adopting an ordinance banning alcohol consumption in the area at the end of October.

喝得醉醺醺的走在澀穀十字路口，是一種什麽體驗？

日本的興盛，和背後的窘迫。優雅和背後的恐懼。
