Welcome to Shibuya Crossing
Welcome to Shibuya. Before you lies one of the most famous intersections in the world — Shibuya Crossing. Each time the lights turn green, waves of people surge in from every direction and, as if by silent agreement, pass through one another without ever colliding. Countless travelers stop to capture the scene. Shibuya is a place where Japan's youth culture is born and endlessly renewed. The very latest in fashion, music, and culture has poured out from this valley floor to the rest of the world. For locals, it is where you meet friends, shop, and talk with friends late into the night — the heart of both daily life and play. For travelers, it is a place to feel the heat and speed of today's Tokyo with your whole body. But why is this place called 'Shibuya,' and why did the young come to gather here? The answer, surprisingly, lies hidden in the very shape of the land. Over the next hour or so, let's trace the stories behind this city together. Stop wherever catches your eye, and listen at your own pace. Let's begin with the history of Shibuya — a town that started from a valley.
