A little time. A closer look.
Shibuya's crossing turns the space outside the station into a moving pattern of people. Pair the public crossing with Hachiko's meeting square for a compact introduction to the neighbourhood, leaving the observation deck for another visit.
Something to notice
Wait at the edge of the square and watch one complete crossing cycle. Notice how the diagonal stripes organize a space that first seems chaotic.
A little consideration
Cross with the signals and keep moving. Take photographs from a safe place without blocking people or stepping into traffic.
