Tokyo Shibuya Intersection


Rodney had the request to find the intersection off Shibuya Station and witness the pedestrian scramble for ourselves.

Some reports say about 2,000 people cross the intersection in one crossing!!
 
 
 

It's also a big shopping district, complete with some crazy electronic billboards!!
 
 

Not to mention the vehicles you can see...
 
 

Kind of concerning to see all those people ready to walk directly at you!!
 

I took a picture of this cool wall, only to learn later it has some major significance. Know the Richard Gere movie, "Hatchi: A Dog's Tale"? It's based on a real story--- that took place at this station and intersection!!!

I really don't want to close this post with this picture, but just couldn't NOT put it in.....
Things (and people/characters!) that make you go--- hhhmmmmmm........ ?!?!?!?!?!
