Take a trip to Shibuya Crossing on your Japan Vacation
Tokyo's Shibuya Crossing is often touted as the busiest crossing in the world, with thousands of people crossing the intersection simultaneously. It was constructed in 1970 and instantly became the central location in the Shibuya area because of the sheer volume of people crossing the intersection. Today, it has become a global landmark, and people flock to this place to witness the busiest intersection firsthand. Furthermore, the landmark is a cultural hub and meeting point for many locals and tourists. The place is surrounded by shops, restaurants, entertainment venues, and nightlife establishments, making it a popular hang-out spot for tourists.
Everyone who comes to Shibuya Crossing is here to witness the pedestrian scramble. Besides this, visitors can walk along the Centre Street for shopping, explore Shibuya's nightlife, and indulge in Japanese cuisine.

You should try a Zen meditation session. Imagine slipping into a silk kimono for the day—carefully tied by an expert dresser, every fold precise, every colour chosen to suit the season. It’s a ritual that feels as personal as it is timeless.
What do I love about Japan? In a word - EVERYTHING. The incredible contrast that Japan offers - new/innovative vs old/traditional, the warm and welcoming people, the incredible rich culture, the culinary wonders awaiting around every corner, the cleanliness, efficiency and safety. It's one of the best places to visit in Asia in my opinion.
Every season offers something to fall in love with, but autumn feels especially magical—fewer tourists, crisp weather, and foliage that rivals the famous blossoms.
