Right outside Shibuya Station’s Hachiko Exit, you’ll find the legendary Shibuya Scramble Crossing, the busiest pedestrian crossing in the world. Watch in awe as thousands of people cross from all directions in perfect harmony. Step into the crowd and experience it yourself. Trust me, it’s one of those surreal Tokyo moments you’ll never forget.

Pro tip: Capture a photo or time-lapse video while standing in the middle of the crossing. It’s an iconic travel memory in the making!

2. Take a Photo with the Hachiko StatueTugu Hachiko.png

Also near the Hachiko Exit is the heartwarming statue of Hachiko, Japan’s most loyal dog. In the 1920s, Hachiko, an Akita breed, would wait daily at the station for his owner to return from work, even after his owner passed away. For nine years, Hachiko continued his routine, symbolizing loyalty and love. Today, the statue is a popular meeting point and photo spot for both locals and tourists.

It’s more than just a statue. It’s a story that touches the soul.

3. Soak in the View from Shibuya SkyShibuya Sky.png

For a breathtaking 360° view of Tokyo, head up to Shibuya Sky, an open-air observation deck atop Shibuya Scramble Square. Whether you're watching the city turn golden during sunset or lit up at night, this rooftop space is the perfect spot to unwind.

Must-see attractions within Shibuya Sky include:

  • Sky Gate – the entrance tunnel that builds anticipation
  • Sky Gallery – an immersive digital space
  • Sky Stage – the open rooftop with Cloud Hammocks and the Instagram-worthy Sky Edge

Relax at the top of Tokyo with the sky above and the city below. It’s a dreamy way to end the day.
