Tips from the community

Shibuya Crossing—arguably the most famous intersection in the world—is as much an attraction for its seemingly choreographed street crossing as for its hip shops, art scene, and massive video screens. The giant displays play cartoons, show weather reports, and run ads that are perfectly timed to the traffic. As traffic lights turn red in every direction (about every two minutes), thousands of people perfectly pass through the intersection without bumping into one another or backing up traffic.
