Shibuya scramble crossing

Shibuya Crossing

The webcam broadcasts a view of the Shibuya intersection, located in the eponymous district of Tokyo. The busiest and most recognizable street in the city, which you see in an online camera, is a striking landmark of the capital of Japan.

The moment when crowds of pedestrians in an online live camera move simultaneously in different directions turns into perfectly synchronized chaos.

The live streaming area of ​​Shibuya is one of the main fashion centers and an important nightlife spot in Tokyo.

The online Shibuya Crossing got its name from Shibuya Station, opened in 1885. The webcam crossroad acquired its modern look in 1932 with the opening of the Tokyu Toyoko line. More than 2.4 million passengers pass here every day here.

The roadway – perfectly visible in the Shibuya webcam, is located at the Hachiko exit from Shibuya station. An unofficial and very touching symbol of this place sits here – the world famous dog Hachiko immortalized in bronze. The sculpture of a dog is the epitome of loyalty and perseverance, two of the main positive qualities of Japanese culture. Everyone knows the tragic and very touching story of Hachiko, who was waiting for his deceased owner at the station for 10 years.

Now the monument to the faithful dog is the most popular meeting place: people stand next to Hachiko and look at the exit from the station, waiting for loved ones, friends or relatives.
